3 Description
The CDCLVD1204 clock buffer distributes one of two
selectable clock inputs (IN0 and IN1) to 4 pairs of
differential LVDS clock outputs (OUT0 through OUT3)
with minimum skew for clock distribution. The
CDCLVD1204 can accept two clock sources into an
input multiplexer. The inputs can either be LVDS,
LVPECL, or LVCMOS.
The CDCLVD1204 is specifically designed for driving
50-Ω transmission lines. In case of driving the inputs
in single ended mode, the appropriate bias voltage,
VAC_REF, must be applied to the unused negative
input pin.
The IN_SEL pin selects the input which is routed to
the outputs. If this pin is left open, it disables the
outputs (static). The part supports a fail safe function.
The device incorporates an input hysteresis which
prevents random oscillation of the outputs in the
absence of an input signal.
The device operates in 2.5-V supply environment and
is characterized from –40°C to 85°C (ambient
temperature). The CDCLVD1204 is packaged in
small, 16-pin, 3-mm × 3-mm VQFN package.
