ICS853L022AGLFT

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The ICS853L022AGLFT is a dual LVCMOS/LVTTL-to-differential 3.3V LVPECL translator from the HiPerClocks family, manufactured by Integrated Circuit Systems (ICS). It accepts single-ended clock inputs and translates them to differential LVPECL levels. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.8V for VCC and -3.8V to -3.0V for VEE. It supports output frequencies up to 350MHz typical, with part-to-part skew of 400ps maximum and propagation delay of 450ps typical. Additive phase jitter RMS is 0.03ps typical. It is available in an 8-lead TSSOP package.
