SN65LVEP11DGK

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The SN65LVEP11DGK is a low-voltage PECL/ECL 1:2 fanout buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.8 V and supports maximum clock frequencies up to 3.8 GHz. The device features differential inputs and outputs, with a typical propagation delay of 300 ps. Designed for high-speed signal distribution, it functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DGK' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the exact package type (VSSOP vs SOIC) and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage constraints before procurement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended or differential source requires splitting into two low-voltage PECL or ECL loads. Ensure the design accommodates the 2.375 V to 3.8 V supply requirement and that the PCB layout supports the 8-pin package dimensions for optimal signal integrity at frequencies up to 3.8 GHz.
