Texas Instruments CDC2516 3.3-V Phase-Lock Loop Clock Driver Data Sheet User Manual
Summary
This specialized clock driver utilizes an integrated Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) to provide high-performance, low-skew synchronization and distribution of clock signals. Offering sixteen ultra-clean output copies from a single input, it is specifically engineered for demanding synchronous DRAM applications operating at 3.3V. The accompanying manual provides comprehensive details on the device's architecture, including pin functions, operational parameters, and necessary connections for reliable implementation in complex digital systems.

description
AGND FBOUT The CDC2516 is a high-performance, low-skew, GND GND low-jitter, phase-lock loop (PLL) clock driver. It 2G 3G uses a PLL to precisely align, in both frequency VCC VCC and phase, the feedback output (FBOUT) to the 2Y0 3Y0
clock (CLK) input signal. It is specifically designed 2Y1 3Y1 for use with synchronous DRAMs. The CDC2516 GND GND operates at 3.3-V VCC and provides integrated GND GND series-damping resistors that make it ideal for 2Y2 3Y2 driving point-to-point loads. 2Y3 3Y3

Four banks of four outputs provide 16 low-skew, low-jitter copies of the input clock. Output signal duty cycles are adjusted to 50 percent, independent of the duty cycle at the input clock. Each bank of outputs can be enabled or disabled separately via the 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G control inputs. When the G inputs are high, the outputs switch in phase and frequency with CLK; when the G inputs are low, the outputs are disabled to the logic-low state. Unlike many products containing PLLs, the CDC2516 does not require external RC networks. The loop filter for the PLL is included on-chip, minimizing component count, board space, and cost. Because it is based on PLL circuitry, the CDC2516 requires a stabilization time to achieve phase lock of the feedback signal to the reference signal. This stabilization time is required following power up and application of a fixed-frequency, fixed-phase signal at CLK, as well as following any changes to the PLL reference or feedback signals. The PLL may be bypassed for test purposes by strapping AVCC to ground. The CDC2516 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the required operating voltage for this clock driver?
The CDC2516 operates at 3.3-V.
Does the device require external components like an RC network?
No, it does not require an external RC network because the loop filter for the PLL is included on-chip.
How many low-skew clock outputs are provided by the CDC2516?
It provides four banks of four outputs, resulting in 16 total low-skew, low-jitter copies of the input clock.
What must be done to operate the PLL correctly after power-up?
The device requires a stabilization time following power up and application of a fixed-frequency, fixed-phase signal at CLK.
