Description

The 8SLVP2108I is a high-performance differential dual 1:8 LVPECL fanout buffer designed for the fanout of high-frequency, very-low additive phase noise clock and data signals. The 8SLVP2108I is characterized for operation from a 3.3V or 2.5V power supply. Guaranteed output-to-output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the 8SLVP2108I ideal for those clock distribution applications demanding well-defined performance and repeatability. Two independent buffers with eight low-skew outputs each are available. The integrated bias voltage references enable easy interfacing of single-ended signals to the device inputs. The device is optimized for low power consumption and low additive phase noise.

Overview of IDT's 8LSVP (LVPECL) and 8SLVD (LVDS) families of low-jitter fanout buffers from IDT. Fanout buffers are a useful building block of many clock trees, providing signal buffering and multiple low-skew copies of the input signal. IDT's high-performance, low additive phase noise, differential clock fan-out buffers offer up to 2 GHz clock operation, low additive phase jitter (12kHz - 20MHz) of 50 to 100 femtoseconds RMS max, fast output rise & fall times (less than 150ps), and single and dual channel functions (dual: matched propagation delay).
