Block Diagram Description
Phase Frequency Detector and Filter
These two blocks accept inputs from the reference frequency
(REF) input and the feedback (FB) input and generate correc-
tion information to control the frequency of the Voltage-Con-
trolled Oscillator (VCO). These blocks, along with the VCO,
form a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that tracks the incoming
REF signal.
VCO
The VCO accepts analog control inputs from the PLL filter
block and generates a frequency. The operational range of the
VCO is determined by the FS control pin.
Functional Description
The CY7B9910 and CY7B9920 Low Skew Clock Buffers offer
low-skew system clock distribution. These multiple-output
clock drivers optimize the timing of high-performance comput-
er systems. Eight individual drivers can each drive terminated
transmission lines with impedances as low as 50Ω while deliv-
ering minimal and specified output skews and full-swing logic
levels (CY7B9910 TTL or CY7B9920 CMOS).
The completely integrated PLL allows “zero delay” capability.
External divide capability, combined with the internal PLL, allows
distribution of a low-frequency clock that can be multiplied by virtu-
ally any factor at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock
distribution difficulty while allowing maximum system clock speed
and flexibility.
Test Mode
The TEST input is a three-level input. In normal system oper-
ation, this pin is connected to ground, allowing the
CY7B9910/CY7B9920 to operate as explained above. (For
testing purposes, any of the three-level inputs can have a re-
movable jumper to ground, or be tied LOW through a 100Ω
resistor. This will allow an external tester to change the state of
these pins.)
If the TEST input is forced to its MID or HIGH state, the device
will operate with its internal phase-locked loop disconnected,
and input levels supplied to REF will directly control all outputs.
Relative output to output functions are the same as in normal
mode.
