ICS853011BMLF

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The ICS853011BMLF is a low skew, high performance 1-to-2 differential-to-2.5V/3.3V LVPECL/ECL fanout buffer from the HiPerClockS family. It operates on either a 2.5V or 3.3V power supply with VCC ranging from 2.375V to 3.8V (VEE = 0V) for LVPECL mode, or VEE ranging from -3.8V to -2.375V (VCC = 0V) for ECL mode. The device features a maximum output frequency exceeding 3GHz, typical output skew of 5ps, and part-to-part skew of 130ps maximum. It accepts differential PCLK/nPCLK inputs supporting LVPECL, LVDS, CML, and SSTL levels.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'BM' corresponds to the 8-lead SOIC package and commercial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the datasheet revision history. Ensure the specific manufacturer source matches the original Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc. specifications now managed under IDT/Renesas lineage.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-to-2 differential fanout buffer with sub-nanosecond skew is required. It supports both 2.5V and 3.3V LVPECL/ECL logic families. Verify that the input source signal amplitude and common mode voltage meet the specified VPP and VCMR requirements for LVPECL, LVDS, CML, or SSTL interfaces.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The ICS853011 is part of the HiPerClockS family of high-performance clock solutions originally developed by Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc. (ICS). The product line was later acquired by Integrated Device Technology (IDT), which was subsequently acquired by Renesas Electronics Corporation. This model represents a legacy high-speed buffer design optimized for low jitter applications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes pin compatibility with MC100LVEP11 and SY100EP11U. Verify electrical characteristics and package dimensions before substitution.
