Available in 16 pin SOIC and TSSOP Packages.
3.3V operation.

Industrial temperature available.
‘SpreadTrak’.
The ASM5P23S08A has two banks of four outputs each,
which can be controlled by the select inputs as shown in
the
Select Input Decoding Table.
The select input also
allows the input clock to be directly applied to the outputs
for chip and system testing purposes.
Multiple ASM5P23S08A devices can accept the same input
clock and distribute it. In this case the skew between the
outputs of the two devices is guaranteed to be less than
700pS.
The
ASM5P23S08A
(Refer
is
available
in
five
different
configurations
“ASM5P23S08A
Configurations
Table). The ASM5P23S08A-1 is the base part, where the
output frequencies equal the reference if there is no
counter in the feedback path. The ASM5P23S08A-1H is
the high-drive version of the -1 and the rise and fall times
on this device are faster.
The ASM5P23S08A-2 allows the user to obtain 2X and 1X
frequencies on each output bank. The exact configuration
and output frequencies depends on which output drives the
feedback pin. The ASM5P23S08A-3 allows the user to
obtain 4X and 2X frequencies on the outputs.
The ASM5P23S08A-4 enables the user to obtain 2X clocks
on all outputs. Thus, the part is extremely versatile, and
can be used in a variety of applications.
The ASM5P23S08A-5H is a high-drive version with REF/2
on both banks
Functional Description
ASM5P23S08A is a versatile, 3.3V zero-delay buffer
designed to distribute high-speed clocks. It is available in a
16 pin package. The part has an on-chip PLL, which locks
to an input clock, presented on the REF pin. The PLL
feedback is required to be driven to FBK pin, and can be
obtained from one of the outputs. The input-to-output
propagation delay is guaranteed to be less than 350pS,
and the output-to-output skew is guaranteed to be less than
250pS.

ASM5P23S08A
‘SpreadTrak’
Many systems being designed now utilize a technology
called Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generation.
ASM5P23S08A is designed so as not to filter off the
Spread Spectrum feature of the Reference input, assuming
it exists. When a zero delay buffer is not designed to pass
the Spread Spectrum feature through, the result is a
significant amount of tracking skew which may cause
problems in the systems requiring synchronization.
Zero Delay and Skew Control
All outputs should be uniformly loaded to achieve Zero
Delay between input and output.

Output Load Difference: FBK Load - CLKA/CLKB Load (pF)
To close the feedback loop of the ASM5P23S08A, the FBK
pin can be driven from any of the eight available output
pins. The output driving the FBK pin will be driving a total
load of 7pF plus any additional load that it drives. The
relative loading of this output (with respect to the remaining
outputs) can adjust the input output delay. This is shown in
the above graph.
For applications requiring zero input-output delay, all
outputs including the one providing feedback should be
equally loaded. If input-output delay adjustments are
required, use the above graph to calculate loading
differences between the feedback output and remaining
outputs. For zero output-output skew, make sure to load
outputs equally.
