DESCRIPTION
Micrel-Synergy's SY89801A PLL based clock generator
provides, in a single chip, all the necessary clocks for HewlettPackard's PA-8000 Microprocessor.
Utilizing Micrel-Synergy's advanced PLL technology, the
SY89801A accepts a Positive-ECL (PECL) reference clock
input at 100MHz-132MHz, and provides precisely aligned,
ultra-low-jitter ratios of frequencies necessary for the operation
of the processor. In addition, the SY89801A provides the
"USYNC" synchronizing signals as required by the PA-8000.
The frequency ratios are 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 5:3 and 2:1.
To facilitate direct interfacing to the PA-8000, the SY89801A
operates across +3.3 volt and -1.9 volt supplies. The processor
clock (PCLK), runway clock (RCLK) , and USYNC outputs are
HSTL-compatible. Additionally, there is a PECL-compatible
runway clock output (RCLKLV). The SY89801A requires only
a simple external series-RC loop filter.
Coupling Micrel-Synergy's advanced PLL technology with
our proprietary ASSET bipolar process has produced a
Timing Generator IC which meets the stringent requirements
of the PA-8000 µP, while setting a new standard for
performance and flexibility.

The following table lists the various PCLK and RCLK
ratios supported by the SY89801A and the corresponding
PCLK, RCLK, FB and VCO frequencies. The table is
arranged in order of increasing PCLK:RCLK ratio. The
table was designed to balance several constraints:
