NB2304A
3.3 V Zero Delay
Clock Buffer
The NB2304A is a versatile, 3.3 V zero delay buffer designed to
distribute high-
-speed clocks in PC, workstation, datacom, telecom
and other high-
-performance applications. It is available in an 8 pin
package. The part has an on-
-chip PLL which locks to an input clock
presented on the REF pin. The PLL feedback is required to be driven
to FBK pin, and can be obtained from one of the outputs. The
input- -output propagation delay is guaranteed to be less than
-to-
250 ps, and the output- -output skew is guaranteed to be less than
-to-
200 ps.
The NB2304A has two Banks of two outputs each. Multiple
NB2304A devices can accept the same input clock and distribute it. In
this case, the skew between the outputs of the two devices is
guaranteed to be less than 500 ps.
The NB2304A is available in two different configurations (Refer to
NB2304A Configurations Table). The NB2304AI1 is the base part,
where the output frequencies equal the reference if there is no counter
in the feedback path. The NB2304AI1H is the high-
-drive version of
the - and the rise and fall times on this device are much faster.

The NB2304AI2 allows the user to obtain REF, 1/2 X and 2X
frequencies on each output Bank. The exact configuration and output
frequencies depend on which output drives the feedback pin.

NB2304A
Zero Delay and Skew Control
For applications requiring zero input-
-output delay, all
outputs must be equally loaded.

--30 --25 --20 --15 --10
To close the feedback loop of the NB2304A, the FBK pin
can be driven from any of the four available output pins. The
output driving the FBK pin will be driving a total load of
7 pF plus any additional load that it drives. The relative
loading of this output (with respect to the remaining outputs)
can adjust the input output delay. This is shown in Figure 3.
For applications requiring zero input-
-output delay, all
outputs including the one providing feedback should be
equally loaded. If input-
-output delay adjustments are
required, use Figure 3 to calculate loading differences
between the feedback output and remaining outputs. For
zero output-
-output skew, be sure to load outputs equally.
