DIFFERENTIAL-TO-3.3V LVHSTL FANOUT BUFFER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
,&6
HiPerClockS™
pair can accept most standard differential input levels.
Guaranteed output skew, part-to-part skew and crossover
voltage characteristics make the ICS8520 ideal for interfacing to today’s most advanced microprocessor and static
RAMs.
The ICS8520 is a low skew, high performance
1-to-16 Differential-to-3.3V L VHSTL Fanout Buf fer
and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of
High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The
ICS8520 has 1 clock input pair . The CLK, nCLK
ICS8520
LOW SKEW, 1-TO-16
FEATURES
• 16 differential 3.3V L VHSTL outputs each with the ability to
drive 50Ω to ground
• 1 differential CLK, nCLK input pair
• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential input
levels: L VDS, L VPECL, L VHSTL, SSTL, HCSL
• Maximum output frequency up to 500MHz
• Translates single ended input levels to L VHSTL levels with
resistor bias nCLK input
• Output skew: 50ps (maximum)
• Part-to-part skew: 250ps (maximum)
• Propagation delay: 1.6ns (maximum)
• VOH: 1.2V (maximum)
• 40% of VOH ≤ Vcrossover ≤ 60% of VOH
• 3.3V core, 1.8V output operating supply voltages
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
