Functional Description
high-performance computer systems. Eight individual TTL
drivers, arranged as four pairs of user-controllable outputs,
can each drive termin ated transmissio n lines with impedan ces
as low as 50Ω while delivering minimal and specified output skews
and full-swing logic levels.
Each output can be h ard wired to one of nine delay o r function
configurations. Delay increments of 0.6 to 1.5 ns are determined by the operating frequency with outputs able to s kew up
to ±6 time units from their nominal “zero” skew position. The completely integrated PLL allows external load a nd transmission line
delay effects to be canceled. When this “zero delay” capability of the
PSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions, the
user 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
allow distribution of a low-frequency clock that can be multiplied by two or four at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock d istributi on dif ficul ty while al lowing maximu m system clock speed and flexibility.
The CY7B991 1 High Speed Programma ble Skew Clock Buffer
(PSCB) offers user-selectable control over system clock func-

Block Diagram Description
Phase Frequency Detector and Filter
These two blocks accept inputs from the reference frequency
(REF) input and the fe edbac k (FB) i nput a nd gen erate c orrection information to control the frequency of the Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO). These blocks, along with the VCO,
form a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that tracks the incoming
REF signal.
VCO and Time Unit Generator
The VCO accepts analog control inputs from the PLL filter
block and generates a frequency that is used by the time unit
generator to create di sc rete time units that are sele cte d i n th e

Test Mode
The TEST input is a three-level input. In normal system operation, this pin i s con nec ted to ground, allowing the C Y7B9 911
to operate as explained briefly above (for testing purposes,
any of the three-level inputs can have a removable jumper to
ground, or be tied LOW through a 10 0Ω resistor. This will allow
an external tester to change the state of these pins.)
If the TEST input is forced to its MID or HI GH sta te, the dev ice
will operate with its internal phase locked loop disconnected,
and input levels s upplied to REF w ill directly control a ll outputs.
Relative output to output functions are the same as in normal
mode.
In contrast with normal operatio n (TEST tied LOW). All outputs
will function base d only on the conn ection of their own f unction
select inputs (xF0 and xF1) and the waveform characteristics
of the REF input.
