3 Description

The LMK1C110x is a modular, high-performance,

low-skew, general-purpose clock buffer family from

Texas Instruments. The entire family is designed with

a modular approach in mind. Five different fan-out

variations, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:6 and 1:8 are available.

All of the devices within this family are pin-compatible

to each other and backwards compatible to the

CDCLVC110x family for easy handling.

All family members share the same high performing

characteristics such as low additive jitter, low skew,

and wide operating temperature range.

The LMK1C110x supports a synchronous output

enable control (1G) which switches the outputs into

a low state when 1G is low. These devices have a

fail-safe input that prevents oscillation at the outputs

in the absence of an input signal and allows for input

signals before VDD is supplied.

The LMK1C110x family operates in a 1.8-V, 2.5-V and

3.3-V environment and are characterized for operation

from –40°C to 125°C.
