GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ICS83940 is a low skew, 1-to-18 LVPECLto-LVCMOS Fanout Buffer and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The ICS83940 has two selectable clock inputs. The PCLK, nPCLK pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or SSTL input levels. The LVCMOS_CLK can accept LVCMOS or LVTTL input levels. The low impedance LVCMOS outputs are designed to drive 50Ω series or parallel terminated transmission lines.
The ICS83940 is characterized at full 3.3V, full 2.5V and mixed 3.3V input and 2.5V output operating supply modes. Guaranteed output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the ICS83940 ideal for those clock distribution applications demanding well defined performance and repeatability.
