NB3N121K
3.3V Differential 1:21
Fanout Clock and Data
Driver with HCSL Outputs
Description
The NB3N121K is a differential 1:21 Clock and Data fanout buffer
with High−speed Current Steering Logic (HCSL) outputs optimized
for ultra low propagation delay variation. The NB3N121K is designed
with HCSL PCI Express clock distribution and FBDIMM applications
in mind.
Inputs can directly accept differential LVPECL, HCSL, and LVDS
signals per Figures 7, 8, and 9. Single ended LVPECL, HCSL,
LVCMOS, or LVTTL levels are accepted with a proper external V
th
reference supply per Figures 4 and 10. Input pins incorporate separate
internal 50
W
termination resistors allowing additional single ended
system interconnect flexibility.
Output drive current is set by connecting a 475
W
resistor from
IREF (Pin 1) to GND per Figure 6. Outputs can also interface to
LVDS receivers when terminated per Figure 11.
The NB3N121K specifically guarantees low output–to–output
skew. Optimal design, layout, and processing minimize skew within a
device and from device to device. System designers can take
advantage of the NB3N121K’s performance to distribute low skew
clocks across the backplane or the motherboard.

Output
Description
Use the IREF pin to set the output drive. Connect a 475
W
RREF resist-
or from the IREF pin to GND to produce 2.63 mA of IREF current. A
current mirror multiplies IREF by a factor of 5.4 to force 14.2 mA through
a 50
W
output load. See Figures 6 and 12. Minimize capacitance.
Supply Ground. GND pin must be externally connected to power supply
to guarantee proper operation.
Internal 50

Termination Resistor connection Pins. In the differential
configuration when the input termination pins are connected to the com-
mon termination voltage, and if no signal is applied then the device may

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.
