Low Skew Output Buffer
9112-16 Rev F 10/20/00
Pin Configuration
• Zero input - output delay
• Frequency range 25 - 133 MHz (3.3V)
• High loop filter bandwidth ideal for Spread
Spectrum applications.
• Less than 200 ps Jitter between outputs
• Skew controlled outputs
• Skew less than 250 ps between outputs
• Available in 8 pin 150 mil SOIC
or 173 mil TSSOP package.
• 3.3V ±10% operation
The ICS9112-16 is a high performance, low skew, low jitter
clock driver. It uses a phase lock loop (PLL) technology to
align, in both phase and frequency, the REF input with the
CLKOUT signal. It is designed to distribute high speed
clocks in PC systems operating at speeds from 25 to
133 MHz.
ICS9112-16 is a zero delay buffer that provides
synchronization between the input and output. The
synchronization is established via CLKOUT feed back to the
input of the PLL. Since the skew between the input and
output is less than +/- 350 pS, the part acts as a zero delay
buffer.
The ICS9112-16 comes in an eight pin 150 mil SOIC or 173
mil TSSOP package. It has five output clocks. In the absence
of REF input, will be in the power down mode. In this mode,
the PLL is turned off and the output buffers are pulled low.
Power down mode provides the lowest power consumption
for a standby condition.
8 pin SOIC, TSSOP

Output to Output Skew
The skew between CLKOUT and the CLK(1-4) outputs is not dynamically adjusted by the PLL. Since CLKOUT is one of the
inputs to the PLL, zero phase difference is maintained from REF to CLKOUT. If all outputs are equally loaded, zero phase
difference will maintained from REF to all outputs.
If applications requiring zero output-output skew, all the outputs must equally loaded.
If the CLK(1-4) outputs are less loaded than CLKOUT, CLK(1-4) outputs will lead it; and if the CLK(1-4) is more loaded than
CLKOUT, CLK(1-4) will lag the CLKOUT.
Since the CLKOUT and the CLK(1-4) outputs are identical, they all start at the same time, but different loads cause them to
have different rise times and different times crossing the measurement thresholds.
