DESCRIPTION
The PL138-28 is a high performance low-cost
1: 2 outputs Differential PECL fanout buffer.
The family of Differential LVPECL buffers are designed to
operate from a single power supply of 2.5V±5% or 3.3V±10%.
The differential input pair is designed to accept most standard
input signal levels, using an appropriate resistor bias network,
and produce a high quality set of outputs with the lowest
possible skew on the outputs, which is guaranteed for part-to-
part or lot-to lot skew.
Designed to fit in a small form-factor package, PL138
family offers up to 1GHz of output operation with very
low-power consumption, and lowest additive jitter of any
comparable device. The Output Enable feature, when
activated, allows the IC to consume less than 10µA of
current.

All parameters are measured at f ≤ 1000MHz, unless otherwise noted.
* Measured from the differential input crossing point to the differential output crossing point.
** Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions. Measured at the output differential cross
points.
*** 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.
†This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.

When a buffer is used to pass a signal then the buffer will add a little bit of its own noise. The phase noise on the output of the
buffer will be a little bit more than the phase noise in the input signal. To quantify the noise addition in the buffer we compare the
Phase Jitter numbers from the input and the output. The difference is called "Additive Phase Jitter". The formula for the Additive
Phase Jitter is as follows:
Additive Phase Jitter = (Output Phase Jitter) - (Input Phase Jitter)
