DESCRIPTION
The SY89809L is a High-Performance Bus Clock Driver
with 9 differential HSTL (High-Speed Transceiver Logic)
output pairs. The part is designed for use in low-voltage
(3.3V/1.8V) applications which require a large number of
outputs to drive precisely aligned, ultralow skew signals to
their destination. The input is multiplexed from either HSTL
or LVPECL (Low-Voltage Positive-Emitter-Coupled Logic)
by the CLK_SEL pin. The Output Enable (OE) is
synchronous so that the outputs will only be enabled/
disabled when they are already in the LOW state. This
avoids any chance of generating a runt clock pulse when
the device is enabled/disabled as can happen with an
asynchronous control.
The SY89809L features low pin-to-pin skew (50ps max.)
and low part-to-part skew (200ps max.)—performance
previously unachievable in a standard product having such
a high number of outputs. The SY89809L is available in a
single space saving package, enabling a lower overall cost
solution.

NOTES:
1. Outputs loaded with 50Ω to ground. Airflow ≥ 300 LFPM.
2. Differential propagation delay is defined as the delay from the crossing point of the differential input signals to the crossing point of the differential
output signals.
3. Output swing greater than 450mV.
4. The within-device skew is defined as the worst case difference between any two similar delay paths within a single device operating at the same
voltage and temperature.
5. The part-to-part skew is defined as the absolute worst case difference between any two delay paths on any two devices operating at the same
voltage and temperature.
6. The VPP (min.) is defined as the minimum input differential voltage which will cause no increase in the propagation delay.

8. OE set-up time is defined with respect to the rising edge of the clock.
OE HIGH-to-LOW transition ensures outputs remain disabled during
the next clock cycle. OE LOW-to-HIGH transition enables normal
operation of the next input clock.
