range since the highest frequency output is running at 20 MHz.
Figure 7 shows some of the functions that are selectable on the
3Qx and 4Qx outputs. These include inverted outputs and
outputs that offer divide-by-2 and divide-by-4 timing. An inverted
output enables the system designer to clock different
subsystems on opposite edges, without suffering from the pulse
asymmetry typical of non-ideal loading. This function enables
each of the two subsystems to clock 180 degrees out of phase
and align within the skew specifications.
The divided outputs offer a zero delay divider for portions of the
system that need the clock divided by either two or four, and still
remain within a narrow skew of the “1X” clock. Without this
feature, an external divider is added, and the propagation delay
of the divider adds to the skew between the different clock
signals.
These divided outputs, coupled with the Phase Locked Loop,
enables the PSCB to multiply the clock rate at the REF input by
either two or four. This mode enables the designer to distribute
a low frequency clock between various portions of the system,
and then locally multiply the clock rate to a more suitable
frequency, still maintaining the low skew characteristics of the
clock driver. The PSCB performs all of the functions described in
this section at the same time. It multiplies by two and four or
divides by two (and four) at the same time. In other words, it is
shifting its outputs over a wide range or maintaining zero skew
between selected outputs.
