PI6CBF18501ZLAIEX-13R

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6CBF18501 is a very low power PCIe fanout buffer featuring five differential HCSL outputs with integrated on-chip termination. Operating at a nominal 1.8V supply, it fans out a single reference input to generate up to 100MHz clock signals compliant with PCIe Gen1 through Gen4 standards. The device incorporates individual output enable pins for power management and allows programmable slew rate and amplitude adjustments via an SMBus interface. It supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 40-lead TQFN package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Five differential HCSL outputs with built-in on-chip termination eliminating external resistors
• SMBus-configurable output amplitude (0.6V to 0.9V) and slew rate settings
• Differential cycle-to-cycle jitter less than 50ps and output skew under 50ps
• Supports PCIe Gen1/Gen2/Gen3/Gen4 specifications

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• PCIe Gen1/Gen2/Gen3/Gen4 clock distribution networks
• High-speed server and storage system backplanes
• Industrial equipment requiring robust clock buffering

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm packaging details. The '-13R' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging with the pin 1 location positioned at the top left corner of the reel. Confirm that the component meets RoHS and Halogen-free requirements as specified in the datasheet notes.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes
