MC100LVE111
3.3V ECL 1:9 Differential
Clock Driver
The MC100LVE111 is a low skew 1−to−9 differential driver,
designed with clock distribution in mind. The MC100LVE111’s
function and performance are similar to the popular MC100E111, with
the added feature of low voltage operation. It accepts one signal input,
which can be either differential or single−ended if the V_BB output is
used. The signal is fanned out to 9 identical differential outputs.
The LVE111 is specifically designed, modeled and produced with
low skew as the key goal. Optimal design and layout serve to minimize
gate to gate skew within a device, and empirical modeling is used to
determine process control limits that ensure consistent t_pd
distributions from lot to lot. The net result is a dependable, guaranteed
low skew device.
To ensure that the tight skew specification is met it is necessary that
both sides of the differential output are terminated into 50 W, even if
only one side is being used. In most applications, all nine differential
pairs will be used and therefore terminated. In the case where fewer
than nine pairs are used, it is necessary to terminate at least the output
pairs on the same package side as the pair(s) being used on that side, in
order to maintain minimum skew. Failure to do this will result in small
degradations of propagation delay (on the order of 10−20 ps) of the
output(s) being used which, while not being catastrophic to most
designs, will mean a loss of skew margin.
The MC100LVE111, as with most other ECL devices, can be
operated from a positive V_CC supply in PECL mode. This allows the
LVE111 to be used for high performance clock distribution in +3.3 V
systems. Designers can take advantage of the LVE111’s performance
to distribute low skew clocks across the backplane or the board. In a
PECL environment, series or Thevenin line terminations are typically
used as they require no additional power supplies. For systems
incorporating GTL, parallel termination offers the lowest power by
taking advantage of the 1.2 V supply as a terminating voltage. For
more information on using PECL, designers should refer to
Application Note AN1406/D.
The V_BB pin, an internally generated voltage supply, is available to
this device only. For single−ended input conditions, the unused
differential input is connected to V_BB as a switching reference voltage.
V_BB may also rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, decouple V_BB
and V_CC via a 0.01 mF capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking
to 0.5 mA. When not used, V_BB should be left open.
