and Low Skew Fanout
Buffer
Description
http://onsemi.com
MARKING DIAGRAMS*
The NB4L6254 is a differential 2x2 clock switch and drives
precisely aligned clock signals through its LVPECL fanout buffers. It
employs a fully differential architecture with bipolar technology,
offers superior digital signal characteristics, has very low clock output
skew and supports clock frequencies from DC up to 3.0 GHz.
The NB4L6254 is designed for the most demanding, skew critical
differential clock distribution systems. Typical applications for the
NB4L6254 are clock distribution, switching and data loopback
systems of high−performance computer, networking and
telecommunication systems, as well as on−board clocking of OC−3,
OC−12 and OC−48 communication systems. In addition, the
NB4L6254 can be configured as a single 1:6 or dual 1:3 LVPECL
fanout buffer.
The NB4L6254 can be operated from a single 3.3 V or 2.5 V power
supply.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.

NOTE: Device will meet the specifications after thermal equilibrium has been established when mounted in a test socket or printed circuit
board with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the declared
operating temperature range. Functional operation of the device exceeding these conditions is not implied. Device specification limit
values are applied individually under normal operating conditions and not valid simultaneously.
