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.
