Low Skew, 1-to-4,
Differential-to-LVDS Fanout Buffer
General Description
The ICS8543I is a low skew, high performance 1-to-4 Differen-
tial-to-LVDS Clock Fanout Buffer. Utilizing Low Voltage Differential
Signaling (LVDS) the ICS8543I provides a low power, low noise, so-
lution for distributing clock signals over controlled impedances of
100. The ICS8543I has two selectable clock inputs. The CLK,
nCLK pair can accept most standard differential input levels. The
PCLK, nPCLK pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or SSTL input levels.
The clock enable is internally synchronized to eliminate runt pulses
on the outputs during asynchronous assertion/deassertion of the
clock enable pin.
Guaranteed output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the
ICS8543I ideal for those applications demanding well defined perfor-
mance and repeatability.

After CLK_EN switches, the clock outputs are disabled or enabled following a rising and falling input clock edge as shown in Figure 1.
In the active mode, the state of the outputs are a function of the CLK/nCLK and PCLK/nPCLK inputs as described in Table 3B.
