PI6C5946002ZHIEX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C5946002 is a high-performance, low-skew 1-to-2 CML clock or data fanout buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports input clock frequencies up to 6 GHz and maximum input data rates of 12 Gbps typical. The device features two pairs of differential CML outputs with internal termination resistors for CML, LVDS, and SSTL inputs. Key electrical parameters include an output-to-output skew of less than 20 ps and additive jitter under 0.05 ps (max). It operates on a single power supply of 3.3V ±10% or 2.5V ±5%, with a maximum power supply current of 130 mA at no load.
