Zero-delay buffer mode
A zero-delay buffer (ZDB) is available in the SiT95141 clock generator and SiT95145/7/8 clock jitter
attenuators for use in applications that require minimum delay between the selected input and output.
The ZDB mode is available and can be configured for any of the PLLs. This provides the option to close
the feedback loop of the PLL on the PCB and thereby, bypassing the internal feedback dividers, and
cancelling the delays introduced by the internal dividers and clock distribution pathways. The
Input
#3
pins are used as the external feedback and any of the outputs from the PLL which is being set up in ZDB
mode should be routed to the
Input #3
differential inputs. SiTime recommends using
Input #0
as the
input clock when using
Input #3
as the external feedback clock in ZDB mode. The terminations used for
Input #3
would depend on the driver type chosen. The preferred option is to use an LVDS or LVDS boost
output AC-coupled into a differential 100
Ω termination at the
Input #3
input side, see Figure 93.
