ICS83940DI
LOW SKEW, 1-TO-18
LVPECL-TO-LVCMOS / LVTTL FANOUT BUFFER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS83940DI is a low skew, 1-to-18 LVPECL-
,&6
to-LVCMOS/LVTTL Fanout Buffer and a member
HiPerClockS™ of the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance
Clock Solutions from ICS. The ICS83940DI has
two selectable clock inputs. The PCLK, nPCLK
pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or SSTL input levels. The
LVCMOS_CLK can accept LVCMOS or LVTTL input levels.
The low impedance LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs are designed to
drive 50Ω series or parallel terminated transmission lines.
The ICS83940DI is characterized at 3.3V, 2.5V or mixed
3.3V core, 2.5V output operating supply modes. Guaranteed
output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the
ICS83940DI ideal for those clock distribution applications
demanding well defined performance and repeatability.
