PI6C10804WE

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C10804WE is a high-speed, low-noise, non-inverting 1:4 clock buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It operates on a supply voltage range of 1.5V to 2.5V and supports maximum frequencies up to 180 MHz at 1.8V and 2.5V. The device features optimized duty cycle performance and a 3.3V tolerant input clock. It provides output-to-output skew as low as 70ps at 1.8V and 2.5V, ensuring precise timing for synchronous systems. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (W) package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• High-speed, low-noise, non-inverting 1:4 buffer with maximum frequency up to 180 MHz
• Low output skew (< 70ps at 1.8V/2.5V; < 100ps at 1.5V) and low propagation delay (< 3.0ns at 1.8V/2.5V)
• Operates on 1.5V - 2.5V supply voltage with 3.3V tolerant input clock
• Available in Pb-free & Green 8-pin SOIC (W) package

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Networking applications requiring low-skew, low-jitter, and high-frequency clock distribution
• Synchronous systems requiring tight level of skew from a large number of outputs

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'E' indicates Pb-free and Green status, and 'X' indicates Tape/Reel packaging if applicable. Confirm the specific package code 'W' corresponds to the 8-pin 153-mil wide SOIC. Check for any recent Product Change Notices (PCN) regarding manufacturing location or material changes.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:4 fan-out buffer is required for networking clocks. Ensure the system voltage aligns with the 1.5V, 1.8V, or 2.5V operating ranges. Consider the skew requirements; 1.8V and 2.5V offer better skew performance (< 70ps) compared to 1.5V (< 100ps). Verify that the 3.3V tolerant input is compatible with the source clock driver.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PI6C10804 is part of the PI6C108xx series of networking clock buffers. The 'WE' suffix denotes the 8-pin SOIC package with Pb-free and Green attributes. This device is designed to replace older Pericom components, as indicated by the historical documentation references.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the PI6C108xx family, such as different fan-out ratios (e.g., PI6C10806 for 1:6). Verify if higher speed variants like the PI6CL10804 are suitable if frequency requirements exceed 180 MHz.
