Low Skew, 1-To-2, Differential-To-CML
Fanout Buffer
ICS858S011I
Datasheet
Description
The ICS858S011I is a high-speed 1-to-2 Differential-to-CML Fanout
Buffer. The device 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 LVDS, LVPECL, SSTL, and CML
to be easily interfaced to the input with minimal use of external
components.
The ICS858S011I is packaged in a small 3mm x 3mm 16-pin VFQFN
package which makes it ideal for use in space-constrained
applications.

NOTE: Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when device is
mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. Device will meet specifications after thermal equilibrium
has been reached under these conditions.
All parameters characterized at
1.2GHz unless otherwise noted.
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, same temperature, same frequency 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.

Additive Phase Jitter
The spectral purity in a band at a specific offset from the fundamental
compared to the power of the fundamental is called the
dBc Phase
Noise.
This value is normally expressed using a Phase noise plot
and is most often the specified plot in many applications. Phase noise
is defined as the ratio of the noise power present in a 1Hz band at a
specified offset from the fundamental frequency to the power value of
the fundamental. This ratio is expressed in decibels (dBm) or a ratio
of the power in the 1Hz band to the power in the fundamental. When
the required offset is specified, the phase noise is called a
dBc
value,
which simply means dBm at a specified offset from the fundamental.
By investigating jitter in the frequency domain, we get a better
understanding of its effects on the desired application over the entire
time record of the signal. It is mathematically possible to calculate an
expected bit error rate given a phase noise plot.

12kHz to 20MHz = 0.042ps (typical)
SSB Phase Noise dBc/Hz
Offset from Carrier Frequency (Hz)
As with most timing specifications, phase noise measurements has
issues relating to the limitations of the equipment. Often the noise
floor of the equipment is higher than the noise floor of the device. This
is illustrated above. The device meets the noise floor of what is
shown, but can actually be lower. The phase noise is dependent on
the input source and measurement equipment.

Signal Generator as external input to an Agilent 8133A 3GHz Pulse
Generator”.
