Operational Mode Descriptions

Figure 2 shows the device configured as a zero skew clock buffer. In this mode the 7B9910/9920 is used as the basis for a low skew clock distribution tree. The outputs are aligned and may each drive a terminated transmission line to an independent load. The FB input is tied to any output and the operating frequency range is selected with the FS pin. The low skew speci- fication, coupled with the ability to drive terminated transmission lines (with impedances as low as 50 ohms), enables efficient printed circuit board design.

Figure 1 shows the CY7B9910/9920 connected in series to construct a zero skew clock distribution tree between boards. Cascaded clock buffers accumulates low frequency jitter because of the non-ideal filtering characteristics of the PLL filter. Do not connect more than two clock buffers in series.
