3 Description
The CDCLVP1204 is a highly versatile, low additive
jitter buffer that can generate four copies of LVPECL clock outputs from one of two selectable LVPECL,
LVDS, or LVCMOS inputs for a variety of
communication applications. It has a maximum clock
frequency up to 2 GHz. The CDCLVP1204 features
an on-chip multiplexer (MUX) for selecting one of two inputs that can be easily configured solely through a
control terminal. The overall additive jitter
performance is less than 0.1 ps, RMS from 10 kHz to
20 MHz, and overall output skew is as low as 15 ps,
making the device a perfect choice for use in demanding applications.
The CDCLVP1204 clock buffer distributes one of two selectable clock inputs (IN0, IN1) to four pairs of
differential LVPECL clock outputs (OUT0, OUT3) with
minimum skew for clock distribution. The
CDCLVP1204 can accept two clock sources into an input multiplexer. The inputs can be LVPECL, LVDS,
or LVCMOS/LVTTL.
The CDCLVP1204 is specifically designed for driving 50-Ω transmission lines. When driving the inputs in
single-ended mode, the LVPECL bias voltage
(VAC_REF) must be applied to the unused negative
input terminal. However, for high-speed performance
up to 2 GHz, differential mode is strongly
recommended.
The CDCLVP1204 is characterized for operation from
–40°C to +85°C.
