PI6C5912016ZDIEX-13R

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C5912016ZDIEX-13R is a high-performance LVPECL fanout buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports clock frequencies up to 2 GHz and provides 16 differential LVPECL outputs. The device features two selectable reference inputs (REF_IN0, REF_IN1) that accept either single-ended or differential signals. Key electrical parameters include an ultra-low additive phase jitter of less than 0.01 ps typical at 156.25 MHz, output skew of 13 ps typical, and propagation delay under 1.7 ns. It operates on separate VDD and VDDO supply voltages ranging from 2.375 V to 3.465 V.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• 16 differential LVPECL outputs supporting up to 2 GHz frequency
• Ultra-low additive phase jitter: < 0.01 ps typical (156.25 MHz, 12 kHz to 20 MHz)
• Two selectable reference inputs for single-ended or differential clock sources
• Low output skew (13 ps typ.) and propagation delay (< 1.7 ns typ.)

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Networking systems including switches and routers
• High-frequency backplane-based computing platforms
• Telecom platforms requiring low jitter clock distribution

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-13R' against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm tape and reel packaging orientation and quantity details. Ensure the component meets RoHS and Halogen-free requirements as specified in the datasheet notes. Confirm the package marking corresponds to the ZD code for the 48-pin TQFN variant.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when distributing low-jitter LVPECL clocks to multiple destinations in high-speed digital systems. Verify that the input signal matches the supported voltage levels (LVCMOS/LVTTL or Differential LVPECL). Ensure power supply decoupling with 0.1 µF and 1 µF capacitors per pin is implemented to maintain optimal jitter performance.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the PI6C5912016 series of LVPECL fanout buffers. The 'ZD' indicates a 48-contact Very Thin Quad Flat No-Lead (TQFN) package. The suffix 'E' denotes lead-free and green status, while 'X' specifies tape and reel packaging. The '-13R' suffix further defines the taping orientation within the reel format.
