PI6C10810LE

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C10810LE 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, or 2.5V across three independent banks (A, B, and C) to accommodate different voltage domains. The device operates at maximum frequencies up to 250 MHz at 2.5V, with reduced limits at lower voltages. Key electrical characteristics include output-to-output skew as low as 60 ps at 2.5V and additive jitter of 50 ps. It is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package and is designed for synchronous networking systems requiring precise clock distribution.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Split 1:10 buffering architecture with three independent power banks (CLK0-4 on VDDA, CLK5-6 on VDDC, CLK7-9 on VDDB).
• Maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz at 2.5V supply; 200 MHz at 1.5V/1.8V; 150 MHz at 1.2V.
• Low output skew performance: <60 ps for Bank A at 2.5V; <30 ps for Bank C at 2.5V.
• Additive jitter specification of 50 ps guaranteed by design.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Synchronous networking systems requiring tight skew levels.
• Clock distribution for devices with mixed voltage requirements (1.2V to 2.5V).
• High-frequency digital signal processing interfaces.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'L' confirms the 20-pin TSSOP package variant. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status via current manufacturer documentation, as environmental statements may be updated. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Product Change Notices (PCN) affecting availability or specifications before finalizing procurement plans.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL input requires splitting into ten outputs with minimal skew. Ensure the system voltage aligns with one of the supported levels (1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, or 2.5V), noting that maximum frequency decreases at lower voltages. Verify that the 20-TSSOP package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PI6C10810 belongs to the Pericom (now Diodes Incorporated) PI6C series of clock buffers. The 'LE' suffix specifically denotes the Lead-free and Green compliant version in the 20-pin TSSOP package. Other variants include the HE (SSOP) and QE (QSOP) packages within the same functional family.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited due to the specific split-bank architecture. Review the PI6C10810HE (SSOP) or PI6C10810QE (QSOP) if package changes are acceptable. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in the provided documentation.
