PI6C10810LEX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C10810LEX 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). The device achieves a maximum frequency of 250 MHz at 2.5V, with output-to-output skew as low as 60 ps in Bank A. It features low propagation delay (<2.0 ns at 2.5V) and additive jitter of 50 ps. Packaged in a 20-pin TSSOP (L20), it operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Split 1:10 buffering with independent power banks for flexible voltage levels
• Maximum operating frequency up to 250 MHz
• Low output skew (<60ps in Bank A at 2.5V)
• Low propagation delay (<2.0ns at 2.5V)

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Networking systems requiring low-skew clock distribution
• Synchronous digital systems
• High-frequency clock generation and distribution

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'LEX' suffix against official documentation to confirm the specific package variant and tape/reel configuration. Confirm current availability status as older Pericom/Diodes products may have discontinuation notices. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint for the 20-TSSOP package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select based on required supply voltage per bank (1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, or 2.5V) to meet system timing constraints. Consider the split-bank architecture if different output voltage domains are needed. Verify that the 250 MHz max frequency meets the target application's clock speed requirements.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PI6C10810 series was originally developed by Pericom Semiconductor Corporation before being acquired by Diodes Incorporated. The 'LE' designation indicates a lead-free and green RoHS-compliant version in a 20-pin TSSOP package. The 'X' suffix typically denotes tape and reel packaging.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements within the Diodes Incorporated portfolio such as the PI6C10810HE (SSOP) or PI6C10810QE (QSOP) if package changes are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.

Clock Buffers, Drivers FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency?

The maximum input frequency is up to 250 MHz when powered at 2.5V.

How is the output skew specified?

Output-to-output skew is <60 ps in Bank A (CLK0-CLK4) at 2.5V, <30 ps in Bank C (CLK5-CLK6), and <150 ps in Bank B (CLK7-CLK9).

Can different output banks operate at different voltages?

Yes, Bank A, Bank B, and Bank C can be powered independently at 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, or 2.5V.
