XRK32309
LOW-COST 3.3V ZERO DELAY BUFFER
MAY 2006
REV.P1.0.1
In this case, the skew between the outputs of two
devices is guaranteed to be less than 700 ps.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The available versions of XRK32309 are shown in
Offered in both 16 pin SOIC and TSSOP packages, Table 12, “Ordering Information,” on page 10. The
XRK32309 is a low cost 3.3V zero delay buffer. It is XRK32309-1 is the base part.
designed to distribute high speed clocks by taking
one reference input and driving nine output clocks.
FEATURES
The feedback of its on-chip PLL is internally
• 10-MHz to 120-MHz operating range, compatible
connected to the FB output. XRK32309 devices
operate over 10-100 MHz frequency range with 30 pF
loads and up to 120MHz with lower loads (10 pF).
The -1H version has higher drive strength than the
base -1 version, featuring faster rise and fall time.
with CPU and PCI bus frequencies
• Zero input-output propagation delay
• Multiple low-skew outputs
■ Output-output skew less than 250 ps
■ Device-device skew less than 700 ps
The XRK32309 has two banks each with four
outputs. These outputs are controlled by two select
input lines according to the Table 2, “Select Input
Decoding,” on page 3. In cases where not all outputs
are needed, bank B can be tri-stated. The select
lines also enable putting the device in a bypass mode
where the input is directly applied to the outputs. This
feature is useful for chip and testing purposes.
■ One input drives nine outputs, grouped as 4 +
4 + 1
• Less than 200 ps cycle-cycle jitter, compatible with
Pentium -based systems
• Test Mode to bypass phase-locked loop (PLL) (see
“Select Input Decoding” on page 2)
• Available in space-saving 16-pin 150-mil SOIC or
Some applications may require distributing the clock
to several destinations. In such situations, multiple
XRK32309 devices can be connected to accept the
same input clock and generate several clock signals.
4.4-mm TSSOP packages
• 3.3V operation
• Industrial and commercial temperature available
