Low Skew CMOS PLL Clock Driver

MC88915

The MC88915 Clock Driver utilizes loop technology to lock its low skew outputs’ frequency and phase onto an input reference clock. It is designed to provide clock distribution for high performance PC’s and workstations.

The PLL allows the high current, low skew outputs to lock onto a single clock input and distribute it with essentially zero delay to multiple components on a board. The PLL also allows the MC88915 to multiply a low frequency input clock and distribute it locally at a higher 2X system frequency. Multiple 88915’s can lock onto a single reference clock, which is ideal for applications when a central system clock must be distributed synchronously to multiple boards see Figure

Five “Q” outputs are provided with less than 500 ps skew between their rising edges. The Q5 output is inverted 180° phase shift from the “Q” outputs. The 2X_Q output runs at twice the “Q” output frequency, while the Q/2 runs at 1/2 the “Q” frequency.

The VCO is designed to run optimally between 20 MHz and the 2X_Q Fmax specification. The wiring diagrams in Figure 5 detail the different feedback configurations which create specific input/output frequency relationships. Possible frequency ratios of the “Q” outputs to the SYNC input are 2:1, 1:1, and

The FREQ_SEL pin provides one bit programmable in the feedback path of the PLL. It selects between and of the VCO before its signal reaches the internal clock distribution section of the chip see the block diagram on page In most applications FREQ_SEL should be held high If a low frequency reference clock input is used, holding FREQ_SEL low ÷2 will allow the VCO to run in its optimal range >20 MHz .

In normal operation the PLL_EN pin is held high. Pulling the PLL_EN pin low disables the VCO and puts the 88915 in a static “test mode”. In this mode there is no frequency limitation on the input clock, which is necessary for a low frequency board test environment. The second SYNC input can be used as a test clock input to further simplify testing see detailed description on page

A lock indicator output LOCK will go high when the loop is in phase and frequency lock. The LOCK output will go low if is lost or when the PLL_EN pin is low. Under certain conditions the lock output may remain low, even though the part is Therefore the LOCK output signal should not be used to drive any active circuitry it should be used for passive monitoring or evaluation purposes only.
