ICS853011CMLF

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The ICS853011CMLF 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, and VEE ranging from -3.8V to -2.375V (VCC = 0V) for ECL mode. The device accepts differential inputs including LVPECL, LVDS, CML, and SSTL, translating single-ended signals via resistor bias on the nPCLK input. It supports output frequencies exceeding 2.5GHz with an additive phase jitter of 0.16ps typical. Key timing parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 330ps, output skew of 15ps, and part-to-part skew of 130ps.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'LF' suffix indicates lead-free configuration and RoHS compliance as per the ordering information table. Confirm the package type corresponds to the 'M' suffix for 8 Lead SOIC. Ensure the operating temperature range matches the -40°C to 85°C specification for industrial applications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1-to-2 fanout buffer is required for LVPECL or ECL domains. It is suitable for applications demanding low skew and high-frequency operation up to 2.5GHz. Consider the power supply voltage (2.5V vs 3.3V) and input signal compatibility (LVDS, CML, etc.) during selection.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The ICS853011C is part of the HiPerClockS family of high-performance clock solutions originally developed by IDT. The 'ICS853011CMLF' specifically denotes the lead-free version in an 8-lead SOIC package. This family is designed for clock distribution applications requiring well-defined performance and repeatability.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible replacements include MC100LVEP11 and SY100EP11U. Verify electrical specifications such as skew, jitter, and supply voltage ranges before substituting to ensure system compatibility.
