Overview
The W163 products are five-output zero delay buffers. A
Phase-Lock ed Loop (PLL) i s used to tak e a time- varying signal
and provide five copies of that same signal out. The internal
feedback to the PLL provides outputs in phase with the reference inputs.
Spread Aware
Many syst em s being designed now util ize a technology called
Spread Spectrum F requency Timi ng Generation . Cypress has
been one of the pioneers of SSFTG development, and we designed this product so as not to filter off t he Spread Spectrum
featur e of the Referen ce input, assuming i t ex ists. When a z ero
delay buffer is not designed to pass the SS feature through,
the result is a significant amount of tracking skew which may
cause problems in systems requiring synchronization.
For more details on Spread Spectrum timing technology,
please see the Cypress Applic ation not e titled , “EMI Suppression Techniques with Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing
Generator (SSFTG) ICs.”

Typ e Pin Description
REF 1 I
Reference Input:
The output signals Q0:3 will be synchronized to this signal
unless the device is programmed to bypass the PLL.
Q0:3 2, 3, 5, 7 O
Outputs:
These signal s will be synchronous a nd of equal f requency t o the signal
input at pin 1.
QFB 8 O
Feedback Output:
This output signal does no t vary from signal s Q0:3 in func tion,
but is noted as the signal used to establish the propagation delay of nearly 0.
VDD 6 P
Po we r Connections:
Connect to 3.3V. Use ferrite beads to help reduce noise
for optimal jit te r p e rformance.
GND 4 P
Ground Connections:
Connect all grounds to the common system ground
plane.
