NB3N106K
3.3V Differential 1:6 Fanout
Clock Driver with HCSL
Outputs
Description
The NB3N106K is a differential 1:6 Clock fanout buffer with
High−speed Current Steering Logic (HCSL) outputs optimized for
ultra low propagation delay variation. The NB3N106K is designed
with HCSL PCI Express clock distribution and FBDIMM
applications in mind.
Inputs can directly accept differential LVPECL, LVDS, and HCSL
signals per Figures 7, 8, and 9. Single−ended LVPECL, HCSL,
LVCMOS, or LVTTL levels are accepted with a proper external V
th
reference supply per Figures 4 and 10. Input pins incorporate separate
internal 50
W
termination resistors allowing additional single ended
system interconnect flexibility.
Output drive current is set by connecting a 475
W
resistor from
IREF (Pin 1) to GND per Figure 6. Outputs can also interface to
LVDS receivers when terminated per Figure 11.
The NB3N106K specifically guarantees low output–to–output
skew. Optimal design, layout, and processing minimize skew within a
device and from device to device. System designers can take
advantage of the NB3N106K’s performance to distribute low skew
clocks across the backplane or the motherboard.

Description
Use the IREF pin to set the output drive. Connect a 475
W
RREF resistor from the
IREF pin to GND to produce 2.6 mA of IREF current. A current mirror multiplies
IREF by a factor of 5.4x to force 14 mA through a 50
W
output load. See Figures 6
and 12.

board with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the declared
operating temperature range. Functional operation of the device exceeding these conditions is not implied. Device specification limit
values are applied individually under normal operating conditions and not valid simultaneously.
