855011AGLF

Overview

The ICS855011AGLF is a low skew, high-performance 1-to-2 differential-to-2.5V/3.3V CML fanout buffer from the HiPerClockS family. It operates on a single supply voltage (VCC) ranging from 2.375V to 3.8V with VEE grounded. The device accepts differential inputs including LVPECL, LVDS, CML, and SSTL, translating them into two differential CML outputs. Key electrical parameters include an output frequency greater than 3GHz, typical output skew of 5ps, part-to-part skew TBD, and typical propagation delay of 242ps. It supports operation in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Two differential 2.5V/3.3V CML outputs
• One differential PCLK/nPCLK input pair accepting LVPECL, LVDS, CML, or SSTL levels
• Output frequency exceeding 3GHz
• Typical output skew of 5ps and propagation delay of 242ps

Applications

• Clock distribution systems requiring well-defined performance and repeatability
• Translating single-ended input signals to 3.3V LVPECL levels using resistor bias
• High-speed digital interfaces utilizing differential signaling standards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the component corresponds to the lead-free RoHS 6 specification indicated by the 'FL' suffix in the ordering information. Confirm the package type matches the 8-lead TSSOP outline dimensions provided in the datasheet. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range and supply voltage limits of 2.375V to 3.8V for reliable functionality.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-to-2 fanout buffer with sub-nanosecond skew is required for clock distribution. It is suitable for applications needing translation between various differential input standards (LVPECL, LVDS, CML, SSTL) and 2.5V or 3.3V CML outputs. Consider the 8-lead TSSOP package constraints and thermal impedance characteristics if high air flow is not available.

Part Context

The ICS855011AGLF belongs to the HiPerClockS family of high-performance clock solutions originally developed by Integrated Device Technology (IDT). The 'AGLF' designation indicates a specific variant within this family, likely denoting lead-free packaging and specific manufacturing revisions. This series targets applications demanding precise timing and low jitter performance in high-speed data transmission environments.
