PI6C5912016ZDIEX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C5912016ZDIEX is a high-performance LVPECL fanout buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It provides 16 differential LVPECL outputs and supports clock frequencies up to 2 GHz. The device features two selectable reference inputs that accommodate either single-ended or differential signals, controlled via an IN_SEL pin. It operates on separate core (VDD) and output (VDDO) supply voltages of 2.5V or 3.3V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 700 ps, an output skew of 30 ps, and ultra-low additive phase jitter typically below 0.08 ps RMS.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• 16 differential LVPECL outputs with low skew
• Supports input frequencies up to 2 GHz
• Ultra-low additive phase jitter (< 0.08 ps typ)
• Dual selectable reference inputs for flexible configuration

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

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

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm package orientation and tape/reel specifications. The ZD suffix indicates a 48-contact TQFN package. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status requirements for the target assembly process. Ensure power supply decoupling capacitors are placed close to VDD and VDDO pins to maintain signal integrity.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when distributing LVPECL clocks to multiple destinations with strict jitter constraints. The dual reference input capability allows flexibility in system architecture. Verify that the required output swing matches the load termination, as it varies between 2.5V and 3.3V supply configurations. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets the environmental requirements.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the PI6C59 series of fanout buffers from Diodes Incorporated. It is designed for high-speed clock distribution where signal integrity is critical. The device complements other clock generators and buffers in the portfolio by providing high-drive capacity with minimal added noise.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must support 16 LVPECL outputs and 2 GHz operation. Check pin compatibility for the 48-TQFN package. Verify that alternative devices offer comparable additive jitter performance and support the same voltage levels.
