Product Description
The Z9974 is a low cost 3.3V zero delay clock driver for
high speed signal buffering and redistribution.
It provides the designer with the flexibility of selecting
various Output/Input Frequency ratios selected by fsela,
fselb, fselc, fselFB(0:1), and VCO_sel input settings.
The Z9974 integrates PLL technology for Zero delay
propagation from Input to Output. The PLL feedback is
externally available for propagation delay tuning and
divide ratio alternatives as per table 1.
The Z9974 has three banks of outputs with independent
divider stages. These dividers allow the banks to have
different frequencies as per table 2.
TCLK0 and TCLK1 one are selectable input reference
clocks and may be toggled dynamically during operation
to provide modulation and phase shifting designs.
This device includes a Master Reset signal, which
disables the outputs into Tristate (Hi-Z) mode, and reset
all internal digital circuitry (excluding the PLL).
An Output Enable, OE, input pin is available for shutting
Qa(0:4), Qb(0:4), and Qc(0:3) outputs in a low state. All
outputs are held low with input clock turned off.
