DESCRIPTION:
Maxwell Technologies’ 7B991 Programmable Skew Clock
Buffers (PSCB) offer user-selectable control over system
clock functions. These multiple-output clock drivers provide
the system integrator with functions necessary to optimize timing of high-performance computer systems. Eight individual
drivers, arranged as four pairs of user-controllable outputs,
can each drive terminated transmission lines with impedances
as low as 50
skews and full-swing logic levels.
Each output can be hardwired to one of nine delay or function
configurations. Delay increments of 0.7 to 1.5 ns are determined by the operating frequency with outputs able to skew up
to ± 6 time units from their nominal “zero” skew position. The
completely integrated PLL allows external load and transmission line delay effects to be canceled. When this “zero delay”
capability of the PSCB is combined with the selectable output
skew functions, the user can create output-to-output delays of
up to ±12 time units.
Maxwell Technologies' patented R
ogy incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit package. It eliminates the need for box shielding while providing
the required radiation shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space
mission. In a GEO orbit, R
krad (Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available
with screening up to Class S.
