2.5V Differential LVDS Clock Divider
and Fanout Buffer
8T74S208
DATA SHEET
General Description
The 8T74S208 is a high-performance differential LVDS clock divider
and fanout buffer. The device is designed for the frequency division
and signal fanout of high-frequency, low phase-noise clocks. The
8T74S208 is characterized to operate from a 2.5V power supply.
Guaranteed output-to-output and part-to-part skew characteristics
make the 8T74S208 ideal for those clock distribution applications
demanding well-defined performance and repeatability. The
integrated input termination resistors make interfacing to the
reference source easy and reduce passive component count. Each
output can be individually enabled or disabled in the high-impedance
state controlled by a I
2
C register. On power-up, all outputs are
enabled.
Features

• Selectable clock frequency division of ÷1, ÷2, ÷4 and ÷8
• Maximum input clock frequency: 1GHz
• LVCMOS interface levels for the control inputs
• Individual output enabled/ disabled by I
2
C interface
• Output skew: 45ps (maximum)
• Output rise/fall times: 350ps (maximum)
• Low additive phase jitter, RMS: 96fs (typical)
• Full 2.5V supply voltage
• Outputs enabled at power up
• Lead-free (RoHS 6) 32-Lead VFQFN packaging
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature

Input Frequency Divider Operation
The FSEL1 and FSEL0 control pins configure the input frequency
divider. In the default state (FSEL[1:0] are set to logic 0:0 or left open)
the output frequency is equal to the input frequency (divide-by-1).
The other FSEL[1:0] settings configure the input divider to
divide-by-2, 4 or 8, respectively.
Figure 3. Figure 2

transaction. The 7-bit I
2
C slave address of the 8T74S208 is a
combination of a 5-bit fixed address and two variable bits which are
set by the hardware pins ADR[1:0] (binary 11010, ADR1, ADR0). Bit
0 of slave address is used by the bus controller to select either the
read or write mode. The hardware pins ADR1 and ADR0 should be
individually set by the user to avoid address conflicts of multiple
8T74S208 devices on the same bus.

Output Enable Operation
The output enable/disable state of each individual differential output
Qx, nQx can be set by the content of the I
2
C register (see
Table 3C).
A logic zero to an I
2
C bit in register 0 enables the corresponding
differential output, while a logic one disables the differential output
(see
Table 3B).
After each power cycle, the device resets all I
2
C bits
(Dn) to its default state (logic 0) and all Qx, nQx outputs are enabled.
After the first valid I
2
C write, the output enable state is controlled by
the I
2
C register. Setting and changing the output enable state through
the I
2
C interface is asynchronous to the input reference clock.

START (S)
– defined as high-to-low transition on SDA while holding
SCL HIGH.
DATA
– between START and STOP cycles, SDA is synchronous with
SCL. Data may change only when SCL is LOW and must be stable
when SCL is HIGH.
ACKNOWLEDGE (A)
– SDA is driven LOW before the SCL rising
edge and held LOW until the SCL falling edge.

C Interface Protocol
The 8T74S208 uses an I
2
C slave interface for writing and reading the
device configuration to and from the on-chip configuration registers.
This device uses the standard I
2
C write format for a write transaction,
and a standard I
2
C read format for a read transaction.
Figure 1
defines the I
2
C elements of the standard I
2
C transaction. These
elements consist of a start bit, data bytes, an acknowledge or
Not-Acknowledge bit and the stop bit. These elements are arranged
to make up the complete I
2
C transactions as shown in
Figure 2
