Overview
The W170-01 is a two-output zero delay buffer and frequency
multiplier. It pro vides an e xternal fee dbac k path all owing maximum flexibility when implementing the Zero Delay feature.
This is explained further in the sec tions of thi s d ata she et ti tle d
“How to Implement Zero Delay,” and “Inserting Othe r D evices
in Feedback Path. ”
The W170-01 is a pin-compatible upgrade of the Cypress
W42C70-01. The W170-01 addresses some application dependent problems experienced by users of the older device.
Most importantly, it addresses the tracking skew problem induced by a reference whic h has Spread Spectrum Timin g enabled on it.
Spread Aware
Many systems being designed n ow utilize a technology called
Spread Spectrum Fr equency Timing Gener ation. Cypress has
been one of the pioneers of SSFTG devel opment , and we designed this product so as not to filter off the Spread Spectrum
feature of the Ref erence input, assu ming it exists. When a zero
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 Cypr ess application note titled, “EMI Suppression Techniques with Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing
Generator (SSFTG) ICs.”
