SY89809AL
3.3V LVPECL/HSTL to HSTL 1:9 High-
Performance Clock Driver with LVTTL
Clock Select and Enable
General Description
The SY89809AL is a high-performance bus clock driver
with nine differential High-Speed Transceiver Logic (HSTL)
output pairs. The part is designed for use in low-voltage
(3.3V/1.8V) applications, which require a large number of
outputs to drive precisely aligned, ultra-low skew signals to
their destination. The input is multiplexed from either HSTL
or Low-Voltage Positive-Emitter-Coupled Logic (LVPECL)
by the CLK_SEL pin. The Output Enable (OE) is
synchronous so that the outputs will only be
enabled/disabled when they are already in the LOW state.
This avoids any chance of generating a runt clock pulse
when the device is enabled/disabled as can happen with
an asynchronous control.

Features
• 3.3V core supply, 1.8V output supply for reduced power
• LVPECL and HSTL inputs
• Nine differential HSTL (low-voltage swing) output pairs
• HSTL outputs drive 50Ω-to-ground with no offset voltage
• 750MHz maximum clock frequency
• Low part-to-part skew (100ps typical)
• Low pin-to-pin skew (15ps typical)
• Available in 32-pin TQFP
The SY89809AL features low pin-to-pin skew (15ps
typical) and low part-to-part skew (100ps typical). The
SY89809AL is available in a single space-saving package,
enabling a lower overall cost solution.
