ICS8537-01
HEX, LOW SKEW, 1-TO-2
DIFFERENTIAL-TO-3.3V/2.5V LVPECL CLOCK BUFFER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS8537-01 is a Hex low skew, high performance 1-to-2 • Twelve LVPECL outputs
Differential-to-3.3V/2.5 LVPECL Clock Buffer. The ICS8537-
• Selectable differential CLKx, nCLKx inputs
01 has six selectable clock inputs. The CLKx, nCLKx pairs
can accept most differential input levels and translate them to
3.3V or 2.5V LVPECL output levels.Guaranteed output and
part-to-part skew specifications make the ICS8537-01 ideal
for those applications demanding well defined performance
and repeatability.
• CLKx, nCLKx pair can accept the following differential
input levels: LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, HCSL, SSTL
• Maximum output frequency: 700MHz
• Translates any differential input signal (LVHSTL, SSTL,
DCM) to LVPECL levels without external bias networks
• Translates any single-ended input signal to LVPECL
with resistor bias on nCLKx input
• Output skew: 130ps (maximum)
• Bank skew: 20ps (maximum)
• Part-to-part skew: 350ps (maximum)
• Propagation delay: 1.5ns (maximum)
• 3.3V or 2.5V operating supply
• 0°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Available in both standard (RoHS 5) and lead-free
(RoHS 6) packages
