PI90LVB16L

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI90LVB16L is a six-channel LVTTL clock distribution driver manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in a 24-pin TSSOP package. It translates one Bus Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (BLVDS) input signal into six LVTTL-compatible output signals. The device operates at a typical frequency of 160 MHz with a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V. Key electrical characteristics include a typical duty cycle distortion of 100 ps and channel-to-channel skew of 50 ps. It features low power consumption of 16 mA static current at 3.3 V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Translates single BLVDS differential input to six LVTTL outputs
• Typical operation up to 160 MHz with 50 ps channel-to-channel skew
• Low power design consuming 16 mA static current at 3.3 V
• Glitch-free power-on behavior at CLKI/O pins

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Backplane clock distribution networks
• Master/slave clock selection in multipoint environments
• Data and telecommunications system clock distribution

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'L' suffix confirms the 24-pin TSSOP packaging variant. Confirm component availability status as older Pericom/Diodes products may have limited stock or end-of-life implications. Ensure the specific revision matches the PS8536A datasheet for accurate pinout and electrical parameter validation before integration.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential BLVDS source must drive multiple LVTTL loads on the same board. Ensure the application requires the 160 MHz bandwidth and 3.3 V logic levels. Verify that the 24-pin TSSOP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider the 50 ps skew specification if precise timing alignment between the six outputs is critical for the system architecture.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the PI90LV series of interface and clock distribution devices from Diodes Incorporated (formerly Pericom). It serves as a bridge between differential signaling standards like BLVDS and standard LVTTL logic families, facilitating clock tree management in high-performance digital systems where signal integrity and low jitter are required.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult Diodes Incorporated for current equivalent recommendations or verify compatibility with other 1:6 LVDS-to-LVTTL translators if sourcing is restricted.
