GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADCLK946 is an ultrafast clock fanout buffer fabricated on
the Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary XFCB3 silicon germanium
(SiGe) bipolar process. This device is designed for high speed
applications requiring low jitter.
The device has a differential input equipped with center-tapped,
differential, 100 Ω on-chip termination resistors. The input accepts
dc-coupled LVPECL, CML, 3.3 V CMOS (single ended), and
ac-coupled 1.8 V CMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL inputs. A V
is available for biasing ac-coupled inputs.
The ADCLK946 features six full-swing emitter-coupled logic
(ECL) output drivers. For LVPECL (positive ECL) operation,

The ECL output stages are designed to directly drive 800 mV
each side into 50 Ω terminated to V

The ADCLK946 is available in a 24-lead LFCSP and is specified
for operation over the standard industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C.
