Overview
The W132 is a PLL-based c lock driver d esigned f or use in dual
inline memory modules. The clock driver has output frequencies of up to 133 MHz and output to output skews of less than
250 ps. The W132 provides minimum cycle-to-cycle and long
term jitter, which is of significant importance to meet the tight
input-to-input skew budget in DIMM applications.
The current generation of 256 and 512 megabyte memory
modules needs to support 100-MHz clocking speeds. Especially fo r cards c onfigu red in 16 x4 or 8 x8 f o rmat, the cl oc k si gnal provided from the motherboard is generally not strong
enough to meet all the requirements of the memory and logic

on the DIMM. The W132 takes in the signal from the motherboard and buffers out clock signals with enough drive to support all the DIMM board clocking needs. The W132 is also
designed to meet the needs of new PC133 SDRAM designs,
operating to 133 MHz.
The W132 was spe cifically de signed to accep t SSFTG signal s
currently being used in motherboard designs to reduce EMI.
Zero delay b uffers which are not designed to pass this f e ature
through may cause skewing failures.
Output enable p ins allo w f or shutdown of output w hen they are
not being used. This reduces EMI and power consumption.

Spread Aware
Many systems bein g design ed no w utiliz e a tec hnology called
Spread Spectrum F requenc y Timing Ge neration. Cy press has
been one of the pioneers of SSFT G de v elop ment, an d we designed this product so as not to fil ter off the Spread Spectrum
feature of the R eference input, as suming it ex ists. When a zero
delay buffer is not desig ned to pass t he SS feature thro ugh,
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 application note titled, “EMI Suppression Techniques with Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing
Generator (SSFTG) ICs.”
How to Implement Zero Delay
Typically, zero delay buffers (ZDBs) are used becau se a designer wants to provide multiple copies of a clock signal in
phase with each oth er. Th e whole concept b ehind ZDBs is th at
the signals at the destination chips are all going HIGH at the
same time as the input to the ZDB. In order to achieve this,
layo ut must compens ate for tr ace length be tween the ZDB and
the target devices. The method of compensation is described
below.
External feedbac k is the trait that a llows f or this compensa tion.
The PLL on the ZDB will cause the feedback signal to be in
phase with the reference s ignal. Whe n laying out the board,
match the trace lengths between the output being used for
feed back and the FBIN input to the PLL.

If it is desirable to either add a little delay, or slightly precede
the input signal, this may also be affecte d by either m aking the
trace to the FBIN pin a little shorter or a little longer than the
traces to the devices being clocked.
Inserting Other Devices in Feedback P ath
Another nice feature available due to the external feedback is
the ability to synch ronize signals up to the si gnal coming from
some other de vice . This impleme ntation can b e applied to an y
device (ASIC , mu ltiple output cl oc k b uff e r/driv er, etc.) which is
put into the feedback path.
Referring to Figure 2, if the traces between the ASIC/buffer
and the destination of the clock signal(s) (A) are equal in length
to the trace between the buffer and the FBIN pin, the signals
at the destinatio n(s) dev ice will be driv en high at the same time
the Reference clock provided to the ZDB goes high. Synchronizing the other outputs of the ZDB to the outputs form the
ASIC/Buffer is m ore comple x how e ver , as any prop agation delay in the ASIC/Buffer must be accounted for.
