PI6C5916004ZHIEX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C5916004 is a high-performance 1-to-4 LVPECL fanout buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports input clock frequencies up to 6 GHz and provides four pairs of differential LVPECL outputs with low additive jitter, typically less than 0.05 ps. The device accepts LVPECL, LVDS, CML, and SSTL input signals and features an internal 25kΩ pull-up resistor for the synchronous output enable pin. Operating on a 3.3V ±10% or 2.5V ±5% power supply, it delivers an output-to-output skew of less than 20 ps and functions within an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Supports input clock frequencies up to 6 GHz with four pairs of differential LVPECL outputs
• Low additive jitter specification of less than 0.05 ps (Maximus)
• Accepts LVPECL, LVDS, CML, and SSTL input signal levels
• Output-to-output skew is less than 20 ps under equal load conditions

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Clock distribution for low noise oscillators

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required package and environmental specifications. The ZHIE suffix indicates a 16-contact TQFN package in tape and reel format. Confirm compliance with RoHS 3 and halogen-free requirements if mandated by project standards. Ensure the procurement channel is authorized to guarantee product authenticity and traceability.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single clock source must drive multiple high-speed loads with minimal skew. Verify that the system power supply aligns with the 3.3V or 2.5V operating voltage ranges. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 16-pin TQFN package and provides adequate thermal dissipation via the exposed pad. Check that the input signal type matches the supported LVPECL, LVDS, CML, or SSTL formats.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the PI6C591 series of fanout buffers from Diodes Incorporated. It is designed for applications requiring high-frequency clock distribution with low jitter performance. The device integrates internal termination options to simplify circuit design and reduce external component count compared to older buffer generations.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Consult official Diodes Incorporated documentation for verified cross-reference part numbers. Do not substitute based solely on pin compatibility; verify electrical parameters such as frequency range, jitter, and output swing match the original design requirements.
