Low Voltage PLL Clock Driver
The MPC93R51 is a 3.3V compatible, PLL based clock generator tar-
geted for high performance clock distribution systems. With output fre-
quencies of up to 240 MHz and a maximum output skew of 150 ps the
MPC93R51 is an ideal solution for the most demanding clock tree de-
signs. The device offers 9 low skew clock outputs, each is configurable to
support the clocking needs of the various high-performance microproces-
sors including the PowerQuicc II integrated communication microproces-
sor. The devices employs a fully differential PLL design to minimize cycle-
to-cycle and long-term jitter.

Functional Description
The MPC93R51 utilizes PLL technology to frequency and phase lock its outputs onto an input reference clock. Normal
operation of the MPC93R51 requires a connection of one of the device outputs to the EXT_FB input to close the PLL feedback
path. The reference clock frequency and the output divider for the feedback path determine the VCO frequency. Both must be
selected to match the VCO frequency range. With available output dividers of divide-by-4 and divide-by-8 the internal VCO of the
MPC93R51 is running at either 4x or 8x of the reference clock frequency. The frequency of the QA, QB, QC and QD outputs is
either the one half, one fourth or one eighth of the selected VCO frequency and can be configured for each output bank using the
FSELA, FSELB, FSELC and FSELD pins, respectively. The available output to input frequency ratios are 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 and
1:4. The REF_SEL pin selects the differential LVPECL (PCLK and PCLK) or the LVCMOS compatible reference input (TCLK).
The MPC93R51 also provides a static test mode when the PLL enable pin (PLL_EN) is pulled to logic low state. In test mode, the
selected input reference clock is routed directly to the output dividers bypassing the PLL. The test mode is intended for system
diagnostics, test and debug purpose. This test mode is fully static and the minimum clock frequency specification does not apply.
The outputs can be disabled by deasserting the OE pin (logic high state). In PLL mode, deasserting OE causes the PLL to loose
lock due to no feedback signal presence at EXT_FB. Asserting OE will enable the outputs and close the phase locked loop, also
enabling the PLL to recover to normal operation. The MPC93R51 is 3.3V compatible and requires no external loop filter compo-
nents. All inputs except PCLK and PCLK accept LVCMOS signals while the outputs provide LVCMOS compatible levels with the
capability to drive terminated 50
W transmission lines. For series terminated transmission lines, each of the MPC93R51 outputs
can drive one or two traces giving the devices an effective fanout of 1:18. The device is packaged in a 7x7 mm2 32-lead LQFP
package.
Application Information
The fully integrated PLL of the MPC93R51 allows the low skew outputs to lock onto a clock input and distribute it with
essentially zero propagation delay to multiple components on the board. In zero-delay buffer mode, the PLL minimizes phase
offset between the outputs and the reference signal.
