NB6L14M
2.5 V/3.3 V 3.0 GHz
Differential 1:4 CML Fanout
Buffer
Multi-Level Inputs with Internal Termination
http://onsemi.com
Description
The NB6L14M is a 3.0 GHz differential 1:4 CML clock or data
fanout buffer. The differential inputs incorporate internal 50
W
termination resistors that are accessed through the VT pin. This feature
allows the NB6L14M to accept various logic standards, such as
LVPECL, CML, or LVDS logic levels. The 16 mA differential CML
outputs provide matching internal 50
W
terminations and produce
400 mV output swings when externally terminated with a 50
W
resistor to V
CC
. The V
REFAC
reference output can be used to rebias
capacitor-coupled differential or single-ended input signals. The 1:4
fanout design was optimized for low output skew applications.
The NB6L14M is a member of the ECLinPS MAX™ family of high
performance clock and data 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 not electrically connected to the die, but is
recommended to be electrically and thermally connected to GND on the PC board.
