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.
