Description
The CY2DP3120 is a low-skew, low propagation delay 1-to-20
differential fanout buffer targeted to meet the requirements of
high-performance clock and data distribution applications. The
device is implemented on SiGe technology and has a fully
differential internal architecture that is optimized to achieve
low signal skews at operating frequencies of up to 1.5 GHz.
The device is fully differential and features two reference input
buffers. The CY2DP3120 may function not only as a differ-
ential clock buffer but also as a signal level translator and
fanout distributing a single-ended signal to twenty ECL/PECL
differential loads. An external bias pin, VBB, is provided for an
ECL/PECL/HSTL single-ended or differential. In such an appli-
cation, the VBB pin should be connected to either one of the
CLKA# or CLKB# inputs and bypassed to VCC via a 0.01-
μ
F
capacitor. Traditionally, in ECL, it is used to provide the
reference level to a receiving single ended input that might
have a different self bias point.
Since the CY2DP3120 introduces negligible jitter to the timing
budget, it is the ideal choice for distributing high frequency,
high precision clocks across back-planes and boards in
communication systems. Furthermore, advanced circuit
design schemes, such as internal temperature compensation,
ensure that the CY2DP3120 delivers consistent, guaranteed
performance over differing platforms.
