Low Skew Fan Out Buffers
9179-03 Rev H 10/16/00
Pin Configuration
The ICS9179-03 generates low skew clock buffers required
for high speed RISC or CISC microprocessor systems such as
Intel PentiumPro. Outputs will handle up to 133MHz clocks.
An output enable is provided for testability.
The device is a buffer with low output to output skew. This is
a Fanout buffer device, not using an internal PLL. This buffer
can also be a feedback to an external PLL stage for phase
synchronization to a master clock. There are a total of ten
outputs, sufficient for feedback to a PLL source and to drive
four small outline DIMM modules (S.O. DIMM) at 2 clocks
each. Or a total of ten outputs as a Fanout buffer from a
common clock source.
The individual clock outputs are addressable through I

C to
be enabled, or stopped in a low state for reduced EMI when
the lines are not needed.
Ten High speed, low noise non-inverting buffers for (to
133MHz), clock buffer applications.
Output slew rate faster than 1.5V/ns into 20pF
Supports up to four small outline DIMMS (S.O. DIMM).
Synchronous clocks skew matched to 250ps window on
OUTPUTs (0:9).

Notes:
1. At power up all ten OUTPUTs are enabled and active.
2. OE has a 100K Ohm internal pull-up resistor to keep all outputs active.
3. The SDATA and SCLK inputs both also have internal pull-up resistors with values above 100K Ohms as well for
complete platform flexibility.

VDD
This is the power supply to the internal core logic of the
device as well as the clock output buffers for OUTPUT (0:9).
This pin operates at 3.3V volts. Clocks from the listed buffers
that it supplies will have a voltage swing from Ground to this
level. For the actual guaranteed high and low voltage levels
for the Clocks, please consult the DC parameter table in this
data sheet.
GND
This is the power supply ground (common or negative) return
pin for the internal core logic and all the output buffers.
OUTPUT (0:9)
These Output Clocks are use to drive Dynamic RAMs and
are low skew copies of the CPU Clocks. The voltage swing of
the OUTPUTs output is controlled by the supply voltage
that is applied to VDD of the device, operates at 3.3 volts.

C
The SDATA and SCLOCK Inputs are use to program the
device. The clock generator is a slave-receiver device in the
I2C protocol. It will allow read-back of the registers. See
configuration map for register functions. The I2C specification
in Philips I2C Peripherals Data Handbook (1996) should be
followed.
BUF_IN
Input for Fanout buffers (OUTPUT 0:9).
OE
OE tristates all outputs when held low.
VDD1
This is the power supply to I2C circuitry.
