General Description
This low-skew, low-jitter device is capable of accepting a
high-speed (e.g., 622MHz or higher) CML, LVPECL, LVDS
or HSTL clock input signal and dividing down the
frequency using a programmable divider ratio to create a
frequency-locked, lower speed version of the input clock.
Available divider ratios are 2, 4, 8 and 16, or straight pass-
through. In a typical 622MHz clock system this would
provide availability of 311MHz, 155MHz, 77MHz, or
38MHz auxiliary clock com ponents.
The differential input buffer has a unique internal
termination design that allows access to the termination
network through a VT pin. This feature allows the device to
easily interface to different logic standards. A VREF-AC
reference is included for A C-cou pled applications.
The /RESET input asynchronously resets the divider. In
the pass-through function (divide by 1) the /RESET
synchronously enables or disables the outputs on the next
falling edge of IN (rising edge of /N).

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional operation is not implied
at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
2. The data sheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond the operating ratings.
3. Due to the limited drive capability use for input of the same package only.
4. Junction-to-board resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device’s most negative potential on the PCB.
5. The circuit is designed to meet the DC specifications shown in the DC Electrical Characteristics table after thermal equilibrium has been
established.
6. Specification for packaged product only.
7. Due to the internal termination (see Input Buffer Structure), the input current depends on the applied voltages at IN, /IN, and VT inputs. Do not apply
a combination of voltages that causes the input current to exceed the maximum limit. Performance might be impacted if the differential inputs are
driven single-ended.
8. See Timing Diagram for VT definition. VIN (maximum) is specified when VT is floating.
9. See Typical Operating Characteristics section for VDIFF definition.
10. Operating using VIN is limited to AC-coupled PECL or CML applications only. Connect directly to the VT pin.

LVPECL Output Termination Recommendations
Figure 4a. Parallel Termination-Thevenin Equivalent
Note:
For +2.5V Systems: R1 = 250Ω, R2 = 62.5Ω.
Figure 4b. Three-Resisto r “Y-Termination”
Notes:
Power-saving alternative to Thevenin termination.
Place termination resistors as close to destination inputs as possible.
Rb resistor sets the DC bias voltage, equal to Vt. For +3.3V systems Rb = 46Ω to 50Ω. For +2.5V systems, Rb = 39Ω.
C1 is an optional bypass capacitor intended to compensate for any tr/tf mismatches.
Figure 4c. Terminating Unused I/O
Notes:
Unused output (/Q) must be terminated to balance the output.
For +2.5V Systems: R1 = 250Ω, R2 = 62.5Ω, R3 = 1.25kΩ, R4 = 1.2kΩ.
