Description
The PI6C39911 offers selectable control over system clock func-
tions. These multiple-output clock drivers provide the system
integrator with functions necessary to optimize the 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-Ohms
while delivering minimal and specified output skews and full-swing
logic levels.
Each output can be hardwired to one of nine skews or function
configurations. Delay increments of 0.7ns to 1.5ns 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. The user can create output-to-output skew
of up to ±12 time units.
Divide-by-two and divide-by-four output functions are provided
for additional flexibility in designing complex clock systems. When
combined with the internal PLL, these divide functions allow distri-
bution of a low-frequency clock that can be multiplied by two or four
at the clock destination. This feature allows flexibility and simpli-
fies system timing distribution design for complex high-speed
systems.

Notes:
1. For all three-state inputs, HIGH indicates a connection to V
CC
, LOW indicates a connection to GND, and MID indicates an open
connection. Internal termination circuitry holds an unconnected input to V
CC
/2.
2. The level to be set on FS is determined by the “normal” operating frequency (f
NOM
) and Time Unit Generator (see Logic Block Diagram).
Nominal frequency (f
NOM
) always appears at 1Q0 and the other outputs when they are operated in their undivided modes (see Table
2). The frequency appearing at the REF and FB inputs will be f
NOM
when the output connected to FB is undivided. The frequency
of the REF and FB inputs will be f
NOM
/2 or f
NOM
/4 when the part is configured for a frequency multiplication by using a divided output
as the FB input.

Test Mode
The TEST input is a three-level input. In normal system operation,
this pin is connected to ground, allowing the PI6C39911 to operate
as explained briefly above (for testing purposes, any of the three
level inputs can have a removable jumper to ground, or be tied LOW
through a 100 Ohm resistor. This will allow an external tester to
change the state of these pins.)
If the TEST input is forced to its MID or HIGH state, the device will
operate with its internal phase locked loop disconnected, and input
levels supplied to REF will directly control all outputs. Relative
output to output functions are the same as in normal mode.
In contrast with normal operation (TEST tied LOW). All outputs
will function based only on the connection of their own function
select inputs (xF0 and xF1) and the waveform characteristics of the
REF input.

Notes:
4. These inputs are normally wired to V
CC
, GND, or left unconnected (actual threshold voltages vary as a percentage of V
CC
).
Internal termination resistors hold unconnected inputs at V
CC
/2. If these inputs are switched, the function and timing of the
outputs may glitch and the PLL may require an additional t
LOCK
time before all data sheet limits are achieved.
5. PI6C39911 should be tested one output at a time, output shorted for less than one second, less than 10% duty cycle.
Room temperature only.
6. Applies to REF and FB inputs only. Tested initially and after any design or process changes that may affect these parameters.
7. Test measurement levels for the PI6C39911 are 1.5V to 1.5V. Test conditions assume signal transition times of 2ns or less and output
loading as shown in the AC Test Loads and Waveforms unless otherwise specified.
8. Guaranteed by statistical correlation.

selected when all are loaded with 30pF and terminated with 50 ohms to V
CC
/2.
10. t
SKEWPR
is defined as the skew between a pair of outputs (XQ0 and XQ1) when all eight outputs are selected for 0t

is defined as the skew between outputs when they are selected for 0t
U
. Other outputs are divided or inverted but not shifted.

13. There are three classes of outputs: Nominal (multiple of t
