PI6C10806BLEX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C10806BLEX is a low skew, six-output crystal oscillator driver manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports operating voltages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V with an input frequency range of 10MHz to 50MHz using a crystal, or up to 160MHz when driven by an external clock source. The device features output-to-output skew of less than 80ps and synchronous output enables. It is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package and operates within an industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'X' suffix indicates Tape/Reel packaging rather than tube. Confirm the component meets specific environmental requirements such as lead-free and halogen-free standards if required by the design. Ensure the supply voltage matches the selected VDD/VDDO configuration for optimal performance.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 1:6 fan-out from a crystal or external clock source. Ensure the load capacitance matches the crystal specifications (typically 18pF). Verify that the output voltage level (VDDO) aligns with the receiving logic inputs across the full industrial temperature range.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PI6C10806BLEX belongs to the PI6C10806B series of clock buffers. It is designed for low power and high frequency applications. The 'L' denotes the 16-pin TSSOP package, 'E' indicates lead-free/green status, and 'X' specifies tape and reel packaging.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the PI6C10806B family. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 1:6 output ratio, low skew characteristics, and compatible voltage ranges.

Clock Buffers, Drivers FAQ

What is the maximum switching frequency?

The maximum switching frequency is 160 MHz when driven by an external clock source. When using a crystal, the frequency is limited to 50 MHz.

How are the outputs enabled?

The device has two synchronous output enable inputs, ENABLE1 and ENABLE2. They control two groups of outputs: one group of five outputs and one single output.

What is the typical RMS phase jitter?

At 25MHz with an integration range of 100Hz to 1MHz, the typical RMS random phase jitter varies by voltage: 0.098 ps at 3.3V, 0.112 ps at 2.5V, 0.233 ps at 1.8V, and 0.277 ps at 1.5V.
