The MC100LVEP14 is a low skew 1–to–5 differential driver, designed
with clock distribution in mind, accepting two clock sources into an input
multiplexer. The LVECL/LVPECL input signals can be either differential

or single–ended (if the V

output is used). HSTL inputs can be used
BB
The LVEP14 specifically guarantees low output–to–output skew.
Optimal design, layout, and processing minimize skew within a device and
from lot to lot.

To ensure that the tight skew specification is realized, both sides of
any differential output need to be terminated identically into 50 even
if only one side is being used. When fewer than all five pairs are used,
identically terminate all the output pairs on the same package side
whether used or unused. If no outputs on a single side are used, then
leave these outputs open (unterminated). This will maintain minimum
output skew. Failure to do this will result in a 10–20ps loss of skew
margin (propagation delay) in the output(s) in use.
The common enable (EN) is synchronous, outputs are enabled/
disabled in the LOW state. This avoids a runt clock pulse when the
device is enabled/disabled as can happen with an asynchronous
control. The internal flip flop is clocked on the falling edge of the input
clock, therefore all associated specification limits are referenced to the
negative edge of the clock input.

The MC100LVEP14, as with most other LVECL devices, can be
operated from a positive V
supply in LVPECL mode. This allows

the LVEP14 to be used for high performance clock distribution in
+3.3V or +2.5V systems. Single ended input operation is limited to a

ORDERING INFORMATION
Designers can take advantage of the LVEP14’s performance to
distribute low skew clocks across the backplane or the board. For more
information, refer to Application Note AN1406/D.
