PI6C10806BLE

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C10806BLE is a low skew six-output crystal oscillator driver manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports operating voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V with mixed core/output configurations. The device accepts crystal inputs from 10MHz to 50MHz or external clock sources up to 100MHz. Outputs are divided into two groups: five outputs (BCLK) and one output (BCLK5), each with independent synchronous enable controls. Key electrical parameters include an output-to-output skew of less than 80ps, rise/fall times under 800ps, and RMS phase jitter ranging from 0.091ps to 0.131ps depending on voltage conditions.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Six LVCMOS outputs with < 80ps skew, configured as a 5-output group and a single output
• Supports 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V operation with mixed core/output voltage capabilities
• Crystal input range of 10MHz–50MHz; external clock input up to 100MHz
• Synchronous output enables for independent control of output groups

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Networking equipment requiring low voltage, high-frequency single-ended clock distribution
• Systems utilizing mixed voltage domains (e.g., 3.3V core with 2.5V or 1.8V I/O)
• Low power applications demanding precise timing synchronization

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component status before procurement as the source material indicates it may be discontinued or have limited availability. Confirm that the 'E' suffix denotes Pb-free and Green packaging compliant with environmental standards. Ensure the specific package variant matches the design requirements, as the standard version uses a 16-pin TSSOP.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low skew distribution for crystal frequencies between 10MHz and 50MHz. It is suitable for applications needing independent enable control for different output groups. Consider the mixed voltage capability if the system integrates cores and peripherals operating at different supply levels such as 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PI6C10806BLE belongs to the PI6C10806B series of clock buffers. It is produced by Diodes Incorporated, which acquired Pericom Semiconductor Corporation. The device is designed to replace older generation clock drivers in networking and industrial applications where low skew and flexible voltage support are critical.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for updated revisions within the PI6C10806B family. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints if substituting with other variants in the same series, ensuring pinout consistency across the 16-pin TSSOP package.
