The SY58033U is a 2.5V/3.3V precision, high-speed, fully 
differential 400mV LVPECL 1:8 fanout buffer. The SY58033U 
is  optimized  to  provide  eight  identical  output  copies  with 
less than 20ps of skew and only 76fsRMS phase jitter. It can 
process clock signals as fast as 5.5GHz.
The differential input includes Micrel’s unique, 3-pin input 
termination architecture that allows the SY58033U to directly 
interface  to  LVPECL,  CML,  and  LVDS  differential  signal 
(AC- or DC-coupled) without any level-shifting or termination 
resistor  networks  in  the  signal path.  The result  is  a  clean, 
stub-free, low-jitter solution. The LVPECL (100k temperature 
compensated)  outputs  feature  a  400mV  typical  swing into 
50 ohms loads, and provide an extremely fast rise/fall time 
guaranteed to be less than 80ps.
The  SY58033U  operates  from  a  2.5V  ±5%  supply  or  
3.3V ±10% supply and is guaranteed over the full industrial 
temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Other high-speed 1:8 
fanout buffers include the CML SY58031U and the 800mV 
LVPECL SY58032U. The SY58033U is part of Micrel’s high-
speed, Precision Edge® product line.
