16 OUTPUT LOW SKEW CLOCK GENERATOR
DATASHEET
MK74CG117A
Description
The MK74CG117A is a monolithic CMOS high-speed, low-skew clock driver that includes an on-chip PLL. Ideal for communications and other systems that require a large number of high-speed clocks, the unique combination of PLL and 16 low-skew outputs can eliminate oscillators and low-skew buffers from systems.
The device has a number of built-in multipliers, making it possible to run from one inexpensive, low-frequency crystal, and produce high-frequency clock outputs. Another selection allows the chip to run as a divider, dividing the input clock by two (or 4 using the mode select).
The device also has a buffered reference output, allowing multiple devices to be easily driven from one clock source.
