Maxwell Technologies’ 7B991 Programmable Skew Clock Buffers (PSCB) offer user-selectable control over system clock functions. These multiple-output clock drivers provide the system integrator with functions necessary to optimize timing of high-performance computer systems. Eight individual drivers, arranged as four pairs of user-controllable outputs, can each drive terminated transmission lines with impedances as low as 50. while delivering minimal and specified output skews and full-swing logic levels.

Each output can be hardwired to one of nine delay or function configurations. Delay increments of 0.7 to 1.5 ns are determined by the operating frequency with outputs able to skew up to ± 6 time units from their nominal “zero” skew position. The completely integrated PLL allows external load and transmission line delay effects to be canceled. When this “zero delay” capability of the PSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions, the user can create output-to-output delays of up to ±12 time units.


About RAD-PAK® Technology

Maxwell Technologies' patented RAD-PAK® packaging technology incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit package. It eliminates the need for box shielding while providing the required radiation shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space mission. In a GEO orbit, RAD-PAK provides greater than 100 krad (Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available with screening up to Class S.
