DESCRIPTION

 

CB878 is a zero delay buffer that distributes a differential input clock pair CKIN/CKIN* to ten differential output clock pairs Y[0:9]/Y[0:9]* and one differential feedback clock pair FBOUT/FBOUT*. The output clocks are controlled by the input clock pair CKIN/CKIN*, the feedback clock pair FBIN/FBIN*, the LVCMOS control inputs OE, OS and the Analog Power input VDDA. When OE is Low, the outputs (except FBOUT/FBOUT*) are disabled while the internal PLL continues to maintain its locked-in frequency. OS (Output Select) is a program pin that must be tied to VSS or VDD. When OS is High, OE will function as described above. When OS is Low, OE has no effect on Y7/Y7* (they are free running in addition to FBOUT/FBOUT*). When VDDA is grounded, the PLL is turned off and bypassed for test purposes.

When both input clock signals CKIN/CKIN* are logic Low, the device will enter a low power mode. An input logic detection circuit on the differential inputs, independent from the input buffer, will detect the logic Low level and perform a low power state where all outputs, the feedback and the PLL are OFF. When inputs transition from both being logic Low to being differential signals, the PLL will be turned back on, the inputs and outputs will be enabled and the PLL will obtain phase lock between the feedback clock pair FBIN/FBIN* and the input clock pair CKIN/CKIN* within the specified stabilization time.

The PLL in the CB878 clock driver uses the input clock CKIN/CKIN* and the feedback clocks FBIN/FBIN* to provide high-performance, low-skew, low-jitter, nearly 50% duty cycle output differential clocks Y[0:9]/Y[0:9]*. The CB878 is also able to track Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for reduced EMI.
