DESCRIPTION
The PL123E-09 (-09H for High Drive) is a high perfor-
mance, low skew, low jitter zero delay buffer d esigned
to distribute high speed clocks. It has two low-skew
output banks, of 4 outputs each, that are synchronized
with the input. Control of the two banks o f outputs is
achieved by using the S1 and S2 inputs as shown in
the Selector Definition table on page 2.
The synchronization is established via CLKOUT feed
back to the input of the PLL. Since the skew between
the input and output is less than 100ps, the device
acts as a zero delay buffer. The input output propaga-
tion delay can be advanced or delayed by adjusting the
load on the CLKOUT pin.
These parts are not intended for 5V input-tolerant ap-
plications.
