Low Skew, Dual, Differential-to-LVDS
Fanout Buffer
General Description
The ICS854S036 is a low skew, high performance
Dual Differential-to-LVDS Fanout Buffer. One of the
HiPerClockS™
two fanout buffers has 3 LVDS outputs, the other has 6
LVDS outputs. The PCLKx, nPCLKx pairs can accept
most standard differential input levels. The
ICS854S036 is characterized to operate from a 3.3V power supply.
Guaranteed output and bank skew characteristics make the
ICS854S036 ideal for those clock distribution applications
demanding well defined performance and repeatability.

NOTE: Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when the device is
mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. The device will meet specifications after thermal equilibrium
has been reached under these conditions.
All parameters measured at 500MHz unless noted otherwise.
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 from the output differential cross points.
NOTE 3: Defined as skew within a bank of outputs at the same voltage and with equal load conditions.
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.
Additive Phase Jitter @ 100MHz
12kHz to 20MHz = 0.06ps (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.

input to a Hewlett Packard 8133A 3GHz Pulse Generator.
