PI6C10810HE

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C10810HE is a high-speed, low-noise, non-inverting split 1-to-10 clock buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports supply voltages of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, and 2.5V with a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz at 2.5V. The device features three independent power banks: Bank A (CLK0-4) on VDDA, Bank B (CLK7-9) on VDDB, and Bank C (CLK5-6) on VDDC. It provides low output skew, propagation delay under 2.0 ns at 2.5V, and additive jitter of 50 ps. The component is housed in a 20-pin SSOP package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Split 1-to-10 buffering architecture with three independent power domains (Bank A, B, C).
• Maximum frequency up to 250 MHz with low output skew (<60ps at 2.5V for Bank A).
• Low propagation delay (<2.0ns at 2.5V) and low duty cycle distortion (<200ps).
• Industrial temperature range operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Synchronous networking systems requiring tight skew levels.
• Clock distribution for devices needing low-jitter and high-frequency signals.
• Systems utilizing multiple voltage domains for clock outputs.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'H' corresponds to the 20-pin, 209-mil wide SSOP package as defined in the datasheet. Confirm that the 'E' suffix indicates lead-free and green compliant materials. Ensure compatibility with the required supply voltage range of 1.2V to 2.5V for the target application design.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single input must drive ten outputs with minimal skew across different voltage banks. Consider the 250 MHz limit at 2.5V or reduced frequencies at lower voltages (e.g., 150 MHz at 1.2V). Verify that the 20-pin SSOP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints compared to TSSOP or QSOP alternatives.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PI6C10810HE belongs to the PI6C10810 family of networking clock buffers. The 'HE' suffix specifically denotes the Pb-free, Green 20-pin SSOP package variant. Other variants include LE (TSSOP) and QE (QSOP), sharing identical electrical characteristics but differing in physical package dimensions.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include PI6C10810LE (20-TSSOP) and PI6C10810QE (20-QSOP). These share the same pinout and electrical specifications but require different footprints. Cross-vendor substitutes are not verified in the provided documentation.
