Low Skew, 1-to-4, Differential-to-HSTL
Fanout Buffer
8523
8523 Rev E 6/15/15 1 ©2015 Integrated Device Technology, Inc.
General Description
The 8523 is a low skew, high performance 1-to-4
Differential-to-HSTL Fanout Buffer. The 8523 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 and part-to-part skew characteristics make the
8523 ideal for those applications demanding well defined
performance and repeatability.
Features
• Four differential output HSTL compatible outputs
• Selectable differential CLK, nCLK or LVPECL clock inputs
• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential input levels:
LVPECL, LVDS, HSTL, HCSL, SSTL
• PCLK, nPCLK pair can accept the following differential input
levels: LVPECL, CML, SSTL
• Maximum output frequency: 650MHz
• Translates any single-ended input signal to HSTL levels with
resistor bias on nCLK input
• Additive phase jitter, RMS: 0.082ps (typical), 100MHz f
OUT
• Additive phase jitter, RMS: 0.190ps (typical), 120MHz f
OUT
• Output skew: 30ps (maximum)
• Part-to-part skew: 200ps (maximum)
• 3.3V core, 1.8V output operating supply
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
• Available in lead-free (RoHS 6) package
