ESCRIPTION
The ICS8521 is a low skew, 1-to-9 Differential-to-HSTL
Fanout Buffer. The ICS8521 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 skew, part-to-part skew and crossover
voltage characteristics make the ICS8521 ideal for today’s
most advanced applications, such as IA64 and static RAMs.
