General Description
The SY58608U is a 2.5V, high-speed, fully differential
1:2 LVDS fanout buffer optimized to provide two
identical output copies with less than 20ps of skew and
less tha n 10psPP tota l jitter. The SY58 608U can proces s
clock signals as fast as 2GHz or data patterns up to
3.2Gbps.
The differential input includes Micrel’s unique, 3-pin
input termination arc h itec tu re t hat int erf ac es 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 outputs are 325mV LVDS, with rise/fall times
guaranteed to be less than 100ps.
The S Y58608U 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 SY58606U and
SY58607U, 1:2 fanout buffers with 400mV and 800mV
output swings respectively. The SY58608U is part of
Micrel’s high-speed, Precision Edge® product line.
