ESCRIPTION
The ICS889832 is a high speed 1-to-4 Differential-
to-LVDS Fanout Buffer and is a member of the
HiPerClockS™
HiPerClockS™ family of high performance clock
solutions from IDT. The ICS889832 is optimized
for high speed and very low output skew, making
it suitable for use in demanding applications such as SONET,
1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and Fibre Channel. The
internally terminated differential input and V
REF
_
AC
pin allow
other differential signal families such as LVPECL, LVDS, and
SSTL to be easily interfaced to the input with minimal use of
external components. The device also has an output enable
pin which may be useful for system test and debug purposes.
The ICS889832 is packaged in a small 3mm x 3mm 16-pin
VFQFN package which makes it ideal for use in space-
constrained applications.

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 output differential cross points.
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.
