PI6C10810HEX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C10810HEX 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 across three independent output banks (A, B, C). The device achieves a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz at 2.5V, with propagation delays ranging from 2.0 ns to 6.0 ns depending on voltage. Output skew is specified as low as 60 ps at 2.5V. It utilizes a 20-pin SSOP package and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Split 1:10 buffering with independent power domains for Bank A (CLK0-4), Bank B (CLK7-9), and Bank C (CLK5-6)
• Maximum frequency up to 250 MHz with low output skew (<60ps at 2.5V) and low duty cycle distortion (<200ps)
• Supports multiple supply voltages: 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, or 2.5V
• Industrial temperature range operation from -40°C to +85°C

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Synchronous networking systems requiring tight skew levels
• High-frequency clock distribution in network infrastructure
• Low-jitter clock generation for digital signal processing

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'HEX' corresponds to the 20-pin SSOP package in tape and reel format. Confirm that the specific speed grade and voltage requirements match the application's AC characteristics table. Ensure compatibility with the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range specifications provided in the datasheet.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended 1:10 fan-out is required with independent voltage control for different output groups. Compare propagation delay and skew specifications against the target supply voltage (1.2V–2.5V). Ensure the 20-pin SSOP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the input signal levels are compatible with LVCMOS/LVTTL standards.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PI6C10810 belongs to a family of high-speed clock buffers designed for networking applications. The 'H' suffix denotes the 20-pin SSOP package, while 'E' indicates lead-free and green material composition. The 'X' suffix specifies tape and reel packaging. This part serves as a solution for distributing reference clocks to multiple synchronous components with minimal jitter.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other variants in the PI6C10810 family such as PI6C10810LE (TSSOP) or PI6C10810QE (QSOP), provided the package type change is acceptable. Verify electrical parameters remain identical across voltage ranges when substituting package types.
