GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ICS8530I-01 is a low skew, 1-to-16 Differential-to-3.3V LVPECL Fanout Buffer and a member of the HiPerClockS™family of High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The CLK, nCLK pair can accept most standard differential input levels. The high gain differential amplifier accepts peak-topeak input voltages as small as 150mV as long as the common mode voltage is within the specified minimum and maximum range.

FEATURES

• (16) differential 3.3V LVPECL outputs

• CLK, nCLK input pair

• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential input levels: LVDS, LVPECL, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL

• Maximum output frequency: 500MHz

• Translates any single-ended input signal to 3.3V LVPECL levels with a resistor bias on nCLK input

• Output skew: 50ps (typical)

• Part-to-part skew: 100ps (typical)

• Additive phase jitter, RMS @ 106.25MHz: 0.022ps (typical) @ 25°C

• 3.3V output operating supply

• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
