NB3N121K
3.3V Differential 1:21
Fanout Clock and Data
Driver with HCSL Outputs
Description
The NB3N121K is a differential 1:21 Clock and Data fanout buffer
with High−speed Current Steering Logic (HCSL) outputs optimized
for ultra low propagation delay variation. The NB3N121K is designed
with HCSL PCI Express clock distribution and FBDIMM applications
in mind.
Inputs can directly accept differential LVPECL, HCSL, and LVDS
signals per Figures 7, 8, and 9. Single ended LVPECL, HCSL,
LVCMOS, or LVTTL levels are accepted with a proper external Vth
reference supply per Figures 4 and 10. Input pins incorporate separate
internal 50 W termination resistors allowing additional single ended
system interconnect flexibility.
Output drive current is set by connecting a 475 W resistor from
IREF (Pin 1) to GND per Figure 6. Outputs can also interface to
LVDS receivers when terminated per Figure 11.
The NB3N121K specifically guarantees low output–to–output
skew. Optimal design, layout, and processing minimize skew within a
device and from device to device. System designers can take
advantage of the NB3N121K’s performance to distribute low skew
clocks across the backplane or the motherboard.
