8536AG-02LF

Overview

The 8536AG-02LF is a low skew, high-performance 1-to-6 fanout buffer from the HiPerClockS family. It features selectable crystal, single-ended, or differential clock inputs and provides six LVPECL outputs compatible with 3.3V and 2.5V supplies. The device supports maximum output frequencies up to 700MHz and accepts crystal frequencies between 12MHz and 40MHz. It guarantees an output skew of 55ps maximum and part-to-part skew of 450ps maximum. Typical additive phase jitter RMS is 0.19ps. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and is available in lead-free TSSOP packages.

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as this specific variant may be obsolete. Confirm package type and moisture sensitivity level before ordering. Check for lead-free compliance documentation. Ensure availability of technical resources such as datasheets and PCN notices. Validate operating temperature range requirements against the specified commercial grade limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six LVPECL outputs are required from a single source. Consider input compatibility with crystal oscillators or differential signals. Evaluate skew specifications against system timing budgets. Compare power supply voltage requirements for 3.3V or 2.5V operation. Assess package constraints for TSSOP footprint availability.

Part Context

FAQ

What types of clock inputs does the 8536AG-02LF support?

It supports selectable crystal oscillator inputs, single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL inputs, and differential CLK1/nCLK1 pairs that can accept LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, SSTL, or HCSL levels.

How does the device handle asynchronous clock enable signals?

The output enable is internally synchronized to eliminate runt pulses on the outputs during the asynchronous assertion or deassertion of the clock enable pin.

What is the maximum operating frequency of the outputs?

The maximum output frequency is 700MHz.
