CLK, nCLK pair can accept most standard differential input
levels. The PCLK, nPCLK pair can accept L VPECL, CML, or
SSTL input levels. The clock enable is internally synchronized
to eliminate runt pulses on the outputs during asynchronous
assertion/deassertion of the clock enable pin.
Guaranteed output and part-to-part skew characteristics
make the ICS8523 ideal for those applications demanding
well defined performance and repeatability.
The ICS8523 is a low skew, high performance 1-to-4 Differential-to-L VHSTL fanout buffer
and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of High
Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The
ICS8523 has two selectable clock inputs. The
FEATURES
• 4 differential 1.8V L VHSTL outputs
• Selectable CLK, nCLK or L VPECL clock inputs
• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential input
levels: L VDS, L VPECL, L VHSTL, SSTL, HCSL
• PCLK, nPCLK supports the following input types:
L VPECL, CML, SSTL
• Maximum output frequency up to 650MHz
• Translates any single-ended input signal to 1.8V L VHSTL
levels with resistor bias on nCLK input
• Output skew: 30ps (maximum)
• Part-to-part skew: 150ps (maximum)
• Propagation delay: 1.6ns (maximum)
• 3.3V core, 1.8V output operating supply
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
• Industrial temperature information available upon request
