PI6C5946004ZHIEX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C5946004 is a high-performance, low-skew 1-to-4 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. The device features four pairs of differential CML outputs with internal termination resistors for CML, LVDS, and SSTL inputs. Additive jitter is less than 0.05 ps (max), and output-to-output skew is under 20 ps. It operates on a single power supply of 3.3V ±10% or 2.5V ±5%, with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the package code ZH corresponds to the 16-contact Thin Fine Pitch Quad Flat No-Lead (TQFN) configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance and Halogen/Antimony-free status as specified in the ordering information. Ensure the suffix 'E' indicates lead-free and green material composition, while 'X' denotes tape and reel packaging.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when driving multiple loads from a single high-speed source with strict skew requirements. Verify that the system power supply matches either 3.3V ±10% or 2.5V ±5%. Ensure the input signal type (CML, LVDS, or SSTL) aligns with the internal termination capabilities and required AC/DC coupling configurations.
