Low Skew, 1-to-4,
Differential-to-LVDS Fanout Buffer
General Description
The ICS854104I is a low skew, high performance 1-to-4
Differential-to-LVDS Clock Fanout Buffer. Utilizing Low Voltage
Differential Signaling (LVDS), the ICS854104I provides a low power,
low noise, solution for distributing clock signals over controlled
impedances of 100. The ICS854104I accepts a differential input
level and translates it to LVDS output levels.
Guaranteed output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the
ICS854104I ideal for those applications demanding well defined
performance and repeatability.

NOTE: Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when the device is
mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. The device will meet specifications after thermal equilibrium
has been reached under these conditions.
NOTE: All parameters measured at f
MAX
unless noted otherwise.
NOTE 1: Measured from the differential input crossing point to the differential output crossing point.
NOTE 2: Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions. Measured at the differential crossing
point of the input to the differential output crossing point.
NOTE 3: Defined as skew between outputs on different devices operating at the same supply voltages and with equal load conditions. Using
the same type of inputs on each device, the outputs are measured at the differential cross points.
NOTE 4: This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.

Additive Phase Jitter
The spectral purity in a band at a specific offset from the fundamental
compared to the power of the fundamental is called the
dBc Phase
Noise.
This value is normally expressed using a Phase noise plot
and is most often the specified plot in many applications. Phase noise
is defined as the ratio of the noise power present in a 1Hz band at a
specified offset from the fundamental frequency to the power value of
the fundamental. This ratio is expressed in decibels (dBm) or a ratio
of the power in the 1Hz band to the power in the fundamental. When
the required offset is specified, the phase noise is called a
dBc
value,
which simply means dBm at a specified offset from the fundamental.
By investigating jitter in the frequency domain, we get a better
understanding of its effects on the desired application over the entire
time record of the signal. It is mathematically possible to calculate an
expected bit error rate given a phase noise plot.
Additive Phase Jitter @ 155.52MHz
12kHz to 20MHz = 0.232ps (typical)
SSB Phase Noise (dBc/Hz)
Offset from Carrier Frequency (Hz)
As with most timing specifications, phase noise measurements has
issues relating to the limitations of the equipment. Often the noise
floor of the equipment is higher than the noise floor of the device. This
is illustrated above. The device meets the noise floor of what is
shown, but can actually be lower. The phase noise is dependent on
the input source and measurement equipment.
The source generator is the Rhode & Schwarz SMA 100A Signal
Generator 9kHz – 6GHz. Phase noise is measured with the Agilent
E5052A Signal source Analyzer.
