General Description
The SY58605U is a 2.5V, high-speed, fully differential
LVDS buffer optimized to provide less than 10pspp total
jitter. The SY58605U can process clock signals as fast
as 2GHz or data patterns up to 3.2Gbps.
The differential input includes Micrel’s unique, 3-pin
input termination ar ch itec tu r e that int erfaces to LV PEC L,
LVDS or CML differential signals, (AC- or DC-coupled)
as small as 100mV (200mVpp) without any level-shifting
or termination resistor networks in the signal path. For
AC-coupled input interface applications, an integrated
voltage reference (VREF-AC) is provided to bias the VT pin.
The output is 325mV LVDS, with rise/fall times
guaranteed to be less than 100ps.
The S Y58605U opera tes f rom a 2.5V ±5% suppl y and is
guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range
(–40°C to +85°C). For applications that require CML or
LVPECL outputs, consider Micrel’s SY58603U and
SY58604U, buffers with 400mV and 800mV output
swings respectively. The SY58605U is part of Micrel’s
high-speed, Precision Edge® pr oduct line.

Pin Description
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function
1, 4 IN, /IN Differential Input: This input pair is the differential signal input to the device. Input
accepts DC-coupled differential signals as small as 100mV (200mVPP). Each pin of
this pair internally terminates with 50Ω to the VT pin. If the input swing falls bel ow a
certain threshold (typically 30mV), them the Fail Safe Input (FSI) feature will
guarantee a stable output by latching the output to its last valid state. See “Input
Interface Applications” subsection for more details.
2 VT Input Termination Center-Tap: Each input terminates to this pin. The VT pin provides
a center-tap for each input (IN, /IN) to a termination network for maximum interface
flexibility. See “Input Interface Applications” subsection for more details.
3 VREF-AC Reference Voltage: This output biases to VCC1.2V. It is used for AC-co upl ing inp ut
IN and /IN. Connect VREF-AC directly to the VT pin. Bypass with 0.01µF low ESR
capacitor to VCC. Maximum sink/source current is ±1.5mA. See “Input Interface
Applicat ion s” subs ect ion for m ore details.
5 GND,
Exposed pad Ground: Exposed pad must be connected to a ground plane that is the same
potential as the ground pin.
6, 7 /Q, Q LVDS Differential Output Pair: The output swing is typically 325mV. Normally
terminated with 100Ω across the pair (Q, /Q). See “LVDS Output Termination”
subsection for more details.
8 VCC Positive Power Supply: Bypass with 0.1µF//0.01µF low ESR capacit ors as clo se to
the VCC pin as possible.

respective inputs.

MAX.
10. Determini st ic jitter is m easured at 2.5Gbps with both K28.5 and 2231 PRBS pattern.
11. Cycle-to-cycle jitter definition: the variation period bet ween adjacent cycl es over a random sample of adjacent c ycle pairs. tJITTER_CC = Tn –Tn+1,
where T is the time between rising edges of the output signal.
12. Total jitter definition: with an ideal clock input frequency of ≤ f

more than the specified peak-to-peak jitter value.

Functional Description
Fail-Safe Input (FSI)
The input includes a special failsafe circuit to sense
the amplitude of the input signal and to latch the
outputs when there is no input signal present, or
when the amplitude of the input signal drops
sufficiently below 100mVPK (200mVPP), typically
30mVPK. Maximum frequency of SY58605U is limited
by the FSI function.
Input Clock Failure Case
If the input c lock fails to a float ing, static, or ex tremely
low signa l swing, th e FSI f unction will then el iminate a
metastable condition and guarantee a stable output.
No ringi ng and no undetermined state will oc cur at the
output under these conditions.
Note that the FSI function will not prevent duty cycle
distortion in case of a slowly deteriorating (but still
toggling) input signal. Due to the FSI function, the
propagation delay will depend on rise and fall time of
the input sig nal and on its amplitude . Refer to “T ypical
Characteristics” for detailed information.
