General Description
The  SY58607U  is  a  2.5V/3.3V,  high-speed,  fully 
differential  1:2  LVPECL  fanout  buffer  optimized  to 
provide two identical output copies with less than 20  ps 
of skew. The SY58607U can process clock signals as 
fast as 2.5  GHz or data patterns up to 3.2  Gbps.
The  differential  input  includes  Microchip’s  unique, 
3-lead input termination architecture that interfaces to
LVPECL,  LVDS,  or  CML  differential  signals,  (AC-  or
DC-coupled) as small as 100  mV (200  mVPP) without
any level-shifting or termination resistor networks in the
signal  path.  For  AC-coupled  input  interface
applications,  an  integrated  voltage  reference
(VREF-AC) is provided to bias the VT pin. The outputs
are 800  mV LVPECL, with extremely fast rise/fall times
guaranteed to be less than 110  ps.
The  SY58607U  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).  For 
applications  that  require  CML  or  LVDS  outputs, 
consider  Microchip’s  SY58606U  and  SY58608U,  1:2 
fanout buffers with 400  mV and 325  mV output swings 
respectively.  The  SY58607U  is  part  of  Microchip’s 
high-speed, Precision Edge® product line.
