The NB6HQ14M is a high performance differential 1:4 CML fanout
buffer with a selectable Equalizer receiver. When placed in series with
a Clock /Data path operating up to 5 GHz or 6.5 Gb/s, respectively, the
NB6HQ14M inputs will compensate the degraded signal transmitted
across a FR4 PCB backplane or cable interconnect and output four
identical CML copies of the input signal. Therefore, the serial data rate
is increased by reducing Inter−Symbol Interference (ISI) caused by
losses in copper interconnect or long cables. The EQualizer ENable
pin (EQEN) allows the IN/IN inputs to either flow through or bypass
the Equalizer section. Control of the Equalizer function is realized by
setting EQEN; When EQEN is set Low, the IN/IN inputs bypass the
Equalizer. When EQEN is set High, the IN/IN inputs flow through the
Equalizer. The default state at start−up is LOW. As such, NB6HQ14M
is ideal for SONET, GigE, Fiber Channel, Backplane and other
Clock/Data distribution applications.
The differential inputs incorporate internal 50
W
termination
resistors that are accessed through the VT pin. This feature allows the
NB6HQ14M to accept various logic level standards, such as LVPECL,
CML or LVDS. The outputs have the flexibility of being powered by
either a 2.5 V or 1.8 V supply. The 1:4 fanout design was optimized
for low output skew applications.
The NB6HQ14M is a member of the ECLinPS MAX™ family of
high performance clock products.

The Exposed Pad (EP) on the QFN−16 package bottom is thermally connected to the die for
improved heat transfer out of package. The exposed pad must be attached to a heat−sinking
conduit. The pad is electrically connected to the die, and must be electrically and thermally con-
nected to GND on the PC board.
Description
1. In the differential configuration when the input termination pin (VT) is connected to a common termination voltage or left open, and if no signal
is applied on IN / IN input, then, the device will be susceptible to self−oscillation.
2. All VCC, VCCO and GND pins must be externally connected to a power supply for proper operation.
