Application Information
The NB4L339 is a high−speed, Clock multiplexer, divider
and low skew fan−out buffer featuring a 2:1 Clock
multiplexer front end and outputs a selection of four
different divide ratios; ÷1/2/4/8. One divide block has a
choice of ÷1 or ÷ 2. The outputs of all four divider blocks are
fanned−out to two pair of identical differential LVPECL
copies of the selected clock. All outputs provide standard
LVPECL voltage levels when externally terminated with a
50−ohm resistor to V
TT
= V
CC
− 2 V.
The differential Clock input buffers incorporate internal
50− termination resistors in a 100− center−tapped
configuration and are accessible via a VTx pin. This feature
provides transmission line termination on−chip, at the
receiver end, eliminating external components. Inputs
CLKA/B and CLKA/B must be signal driven or auto
oscillation may result.
The NB4L339 Clock inputs can be driven by a variety of
differential signal level technologies including LVDS,
LVPECL, or CML.
The internal dividers are synchronous to each other.
Therefore, the common output edges are precisely aligned.
The Output Enable pin (EN) is synchronous so that the
internal divider flip−flops will only be enabled/disabled
when the internal clock is in the LOW state. This avoids any
chance of generating a runt pulse on the internal clock when
the device is enabled/disabled, as can happen with an
asynchronous control. The internal enable flip−flop is
clocked on the falling edge of the input clock. Therefore, all
associated specification limits are referenced to the negative
edge of the clock input.
The Master Reset (MR) is asynchronous. When MR is
forced LOW, all Q outputs go to logic LOW.
