General Description

The HMC706LC3C is a NRZ-to-RZ converter designed to support data transmission rates of up to 13 Gbps, and clock frequencies as high as 13 GHz. During normal operation, RZ data is transferred to the outputs on the positive edge of the clock. Reversing the clock inputs allows for negative-edge triggered applications. All input signals to the HMC706LC3C are terminated with 50 Ohms to Vcc on-chip, and may be either AC or DC coupled.
