NB6L14MNG

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The NB6L14MNG is a 3.0 GHz differential 1:4 LVPECL fanout buffer from the ECLinPS MAX family, manufactured by onsemi. It accepts multi-level inputs including LVPECL, LVCMOS, LVTTL, CML, and LVDS via internal 50 Ω termination resistors accessed through the VT pin. The device provides four differential LVPECL outputs with typical propagation delay of 350 ps and within-device output skew under 20 ps. Operating voltage ranges from 2.375 V to 3.63 V. It is housed in a 3 mm x 3 mm 16-pin QFN package (Case 485G) and supports an ambient operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Supports input clock frequencies > 3.0 GHz and data rates > 2.5 Gb/s
• Features internal 50 Ω input termination resistors for multi-level logic compatibility
• Provides < 20 ps within-device output skew for low skew applications
• Includes VREF_AC reference output for rebiasing capacitor-coupled signals

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-speed clock distribution networks
• Data communication systems requiring differential buffering
• Multi-level logic interface translation (LVPECL, LVDS, CML)

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'MN' corresponds to the QFN-16 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the datasheet attributes. Ensure procurement channels provide the correct rail packaging quantity of 123 units per rail for this specific part number variant.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when low output skew (< 20 ps) and high-frequency operation (> 3.0 GHz) are required. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.63 V maximum supply voltage and utilizes the exposed pad for thermal management. Verify that the input signal levels match the supported standards (LVPECL, LVCMOS, etc.) or utilize the VREF_AC pin for capacitor-coupled inputs.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The NB6L14MNG belongs to the NB6L14 series of differential fanout buffers. It is distinct from other variants like NB6L14MNR2G which uses tape-and-reel packaging. The 'MN' suffix specifically denotes the QFN-16 package type offered in rail shipping quantities.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

NB6L14MNR2G offers identical electrical specifications but differs in packaging (Tape & Reel vs. Rail). Other members of the NB6L14 family may share functional characteristics but require verification of package dimensions and shipping configurations.
