Functional Description
The CY7B991 and CY7B992 Programmable Skew Clock Buff-
ers (PSCB) offer user-selectable control over system clock
functions. These multiple-output clock drivers provide the sys-
tem integrator with functions necessary to optimize the timing
of high-performance computer systems. Eight individual driv-
ers, arranged as four pairs of user-controllable outputs, can
each drive terminated transmission lines with impedances as
low as 50Ω while delivering minimal and specified output skews
and full-swing logic levels (CY7B991 TTL or CY7B992 CMOS).
Each output can be hardwired to one of nine delay or function
configurations. Delay increments of 0.7 to 1.5 ns are deter-
mined by the operating frequency with outputs able to skew up
to ±6 time units from their nominal “zero” skew position. The com-
pletely integrated PLL allows external load and transmission line
delay effects to be canceled. When this “zero delay” capability of the
PSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions, the
user can create output-to-output delays of up to ±12 time units.
Divide-by-two and divide-by-four output functions are provided
for additional flexibility in designing complex clock systems.
When combined with the internal PLL, these divide functions
allow distribution of a low-frequency clock that can be multi-
plied by two or four at the clock destination. This facility mini-
mizes clock distribution difficulty while allowing maximum sys-
tem clock speed and flexibility.
