3.3V PROGRAMMABLE SKEW PLL CLOCK DRIVER TURBOCLOCK™ II
PROGRAMMABLE SKEW
Output skew with respect to the REF input is adjustable to
compensate for PCB trace delays, backplane propagation de-
lays or to accommodate requirements for special timing rela-
tionships between clocked components. Skew is selectable as
a multiple of a time unit (tu) which ranges from 625ps to 1.3ns
(see Programmable Skew Range and Resolution Table). There
are nine skew configurations available for each output pair.
These configurations are chosen by the nF1:0 control pins. In
order to minimize the number of control pins, 3-level inputs
(HIGH-MID-LOW) are used, they are intended for but not re-
stricted to hard-wiring. Undriven 3-level inputs default to the
MID level. Where programmable skew is not a requirement,
the control pins can be left open for the zero skew default
setting. The Control Summary Table shows how to select spe-
cific skew taps by using the nF1:0 control pins.
EXTERNAL FEEDBACK
By providing external feedback, the IDT5V995 gives users
flexibility with regard to skew adjustment. The FB signal is
compared with the input REF signal at the phase detector in
order to drive the VCO. Phase differences cause the VCO of
the PLL to adjust upwards or downwards accordingly.
An internal loop filter moderates the response of the VCO to
the phase detector. The loop filter transfer function has been
chosen to provide minimal jitter (or frequency variation) while
still providing accurate responses to input frequency changes.

NOTES:
1. The device may be operated outside recommended frequency ranges without damage, but functional operation is not guaranteed.
2. The level to be set on FS is determined by the nominal operating frequency of the VCO and Time Unit Generator. The VCO frequency always appears at 1Q1:0, 2Q1:0, and the higher outputs
when they are operated in their undivided modes. The frequency appearing at the REF and FB inputs will be FNOM when the output connected to FB is undivided and DS[1:0] = MM. The
frequency of the REF and FB inputs will be FNOM /2 or FNOM /4 when the part is configured for frequency multiplication by using a divided output as the FB input and setting DS[1:0] = MM.
Using the DS[1:0] inputs allows a different method for frequency multiplication (see Divide Selection Table).
3. Skew adjustment range assumes that a zero skew output is used for feedback. If a skewed Q output is used for feedback, then adjustment range will be greater. For example if a 4tU
skewed output is used for feedback, all other outputs will be skewed –4tU in addition to whatever skew value is programmed for those outputs. ‘Max adjustment’ range applies to
output pairs 3 and 4 where ± 6tU skew adjustment is possible and at the lowest FNOM value.
