Functional Description

The CY7B991 and CY7B992 Programmable Skew Clock Buffers
(PSCB) offer user selectable control over system clock functions.
These multiple output clock drivers provide the system integrator
with functions necessary to optimize the timing of high perfor-
mance computer systems. Each of the eight individual drivers,
arranged in four pairs of user controllable outputs, can drive
terminated transmission lines with impedances as low as 50

Ω.

They can deliver minimal and specified output skews and full
swing logic levels (CY7B991 TTL or CY7B992 CMOS).

Each output is hardwired to one of the nine delay or function
configurations. Delay increments of 0.7 to 1.5 ns are determined
by the operating frequency with outputs that skew up to ±6 time
units from their nominal “zero” skew position. The completely
integrated PLL allows cancellation of external load and trans-
mission line delay effects. When this “zero delay” capability of the
PSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions,
you 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
enable distribution of a low frequency clock that are multiplied by
two or four at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock
distribution difficulty, allowing maximum system clock speed and
flexibility.
