ICS8521I
LOW SKEW, 1-TO-9
DIFFERENTIAL-TO-HSTL FANOUT BUFFER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS8521I is a low skew, 1-to-9 Differential-
ICS
to-HSTL Fanout Buffer and a member of the
HiPerClockS™ HiPerClockS™family of High Performance Clock
Solutions from ICS. The ICS8521I has two se-
lectable clock inputs. The CLK, nCLK pair can
accept most standard differential input levels. The PCLK,
nPCLK pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or SSTL input levels.
The clock enable is internally synchronized to eliminate runt
pulses on the outputs during asynchronous assertion/
deassertion of the clock enable pin.
Guaranteed output skew, part-to-part skew and crossover
voltage characteristics make the ICS8521I ideal for today’s
most advanced applications, such as IA64 and static RAMs.
