HC2510C 
General Description 
The HC2510C is a low-skew, low jitter, phase-
locked loop(PLL) clock driver, distributing high 
frequency clock signals for SDRAM. 
The HC2510C operates at 3.3V Vcc and provides 
integrated series-damping resistors that make it ideal 
for driving point-to-point loads. The propagation delay 
from the CLK input to any clock output is nearly zero. 
Ten outputs provide low-skew and low-jitter clocks.  
All outputs can be enabled or disabled via the control 
input(G). Output signal duty cycles are adjusted to 50 
percent, independent of the duty cycle at CLK. 
The HC2510C is specially designed to interface with 
high speed SDRAM applications in the range of 
25MHz to 125MHz and includes an internal RC 
network which provides excellent jitter characteristics 
and eliminates the needs for external components. 
For the test purpose, the PLL can be bypassed by 
strapping AVcc to ground. 
The HC2510C is characterized for operation from 0°C 
to 85°C.

Functional Description 
Clock Input. CLK provides the reference signal to the internal 
PLL. 
Feedback Input. FBIN provides the feedback signal to the 
internal PLL. 
Output Bank Enable. When G is high, all outputs 1Y(0:9) are 
enabled. 
When G is low, Outputs 1Y(0:9) are disable to a logic-low 
state. 
Feedback Output. FBOUT completes the feedback loop of the 
PLL by being wired to FBIN. 
Clock Outputs. These outputs provide low-skew copies of 
CLKIN. Each output has an embedded series-damping 
resistor. 
Analog Power Supply. AVcc provides the power reference for 
the analog circuitry. AVcc can be also used to bypass the PLL 
for the test purpose. When AVcc is strapped to ground, PLL is 
bypassed and CLK is buffered directly to the device outputs.
