GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 8531-01 is a low skew, high performance
1-to-9 Differential-to-3.3V LVPECL Fanout
Buffer and a member of the family of High
Performance Clock Solutions from IDT. The
8531-01 has two selectable clock inputs. The CLK,
nCLK pair can accept most standard differential input
levels. The PCLK, nPCLK pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or
SSTL input levels. The clock enable is internally synchronized
to eliminate runt pulses on the outputs during asynchronous
assertion/deassertion of the clock enable pin.
Guaranteed output skew and part-to-part skew character-
istics make the 8531-01 ideal for high performance work-
station and server applications.
FEATURES
• Nine differential 3.3V LVPECL outputs
• Selectable differential CLK, nCLK or LVPECL clock inputs
• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential
input levels: LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL
• PCLK, nPCLK supports the following input types:
LVPECL, CML, SSTL
• Maximum output frequency: 500MHz
• Translates any single ended input signal (LVCMOS, LVTTL,
GTL) to 3.3V LVPECL levels with resistor bias on nCLK input
• Additive phase jitter, RMS: 0.17ps (typical)
• Output skew: 50ps (maximum)
• Part-to-part skew: 250ps (maximum)
• Propagation delay: 2ns (maximum)
• 3.3V operating supply
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
• Available in lead-free (RoHS 6) package
• Industrial Temperature information available upon request
