PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
MK74CB163
1 to 16 PECL to CMOS Buffalo™ Clock Driver
Description
The MK74CB163 Buffalo™ is a monolithic
CMOS high speed clock driver. It consists of a
PECL input to sixteen low-skew output, noninverting clock drivers. This monolithic solution
eliminates any concern for part-to-part skew
matching. The MK74CB163 is packaged in the
tiny 28 pin SSOP, which uses the same board
space as the narrow 16 pin SOIC.

Features
• Tiny 28 pin SSOP (150 mil) package
• One input to sixteen output clock drivers
• Outputs are skew matched to within 250ps
• 3.3 V±10% supply voltage
• Clock speeds up to 156 MHz
• 2 Output Enables allow configuration as 1 to 6, 1
to 10, or 1 to 16 buffers.
• Converts PECL input to CMOS level outputs
Family of ICS Parts
The MK74CB163 Buffalo™ is designed to be
used with ICS’s clock synthesizer devices. The
inputs of the Buffalo are matched to the outputs of
ICS clock synthesizers. Consult ICS for
applications support.

For simplicity, 33 Ω series termination resistors are not
shown for the outputs, but should be placed as close to the
device as possible. It is most critical to have the 0.1µF
decoupling capacitors closest.
