LMK00725PW

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The LMK00725PW is a clock buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed signal distribution. It features one differential input and five LVPECL outputs, supporting maximum output frequencies up to 650 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.135 V to 3.465 V and exhibits a maximum propagation delay of 370 ps. Housed in a TSSOP-20 package, it supports multiple input types including HCSL, LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, LVTTL, and SSTL. The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Five LVPECL outputs with a maximum frequency of 650 MHz
• Supports diverse input standards: HCSL, LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, LVTTL, SSTL
• Maximum propagation delay of 370 ps
• Operates on a 3.3V nominal supply (3.135 V to 3.465 V)

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring fanout buffering
• High-speed digital systems utilizing LVPECL interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment requiring precise timing signals

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the package type corresponds to TSSOP-20 when sourcing. Confirm that the specific suffix 'PW' indicates the tube packaging format rather than reel or cut tape options. Ensure compatibility with the required 3.3V power supply rails and check RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration into production designs.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential input must drive five LVPECL loads with low skew. Consider the 370 ps propagation delay for timing budget calculations. Verify that the input signal matches one of the supported logic families (HCSL, LVCMOS, etc.). Ensure the design environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range for guaranteed performance.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the LMK00725 series of fanout buffers from Texas Instruments. It is distinct from other series members by its specific output count and input/output interface combinations. The PW suffix identifies the physical package as TSSOP-20, differentiating it from variants like PWR which may use a different housing style.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the LMK00725 family or similar TI clock buffer series. Verify that any substitute maintains the same LVPECL output configuration and supports the required 650 MHz frequency. Ensure thermal and electrical characteristics match the original specifications.
