General Description 
The  SY89112U  is  a  low-jitter,  low-skew,  high-speed 
LVPECL  1:12  dierential  fanout  buer  optimized  for 
precision  telecom  and  enterprise  server  distribution 
applications.  The  input  includes  a  2:1  MUX  for  clock 
switchover application. Unlike other multiplexers, this input 
includes a unique isolation design to minimize channel- -to
channel  crosstalk.  The  SY89112U  distributes  clock 
frequencies  from  DC  to  >2GHz  guaranteed  over 
temperature  and  voltage.  The  SY89112U  incorporates  a 
synchronous  output  enable  (EN)  so  that  the  outputs  will 
only  be  enabled/disabled  when  they  are  already  in  the 
LOW  state.  This  reduces  the chance  of  generating  “runt” 
clock pulses. 
The SY89112U differential  input includes  Micrel’s  unique, 
patent-pending  3-pin  input  termination  architecture  that 
directly  interfaces  to  any  dierential  signal  (AC-  or  DC-
coupled) as  small  as  100mV  (200mVpp)  without any  level 
shifting or termination resistor networks in the signal path. 
For  AC-coupled  input  interface,  an  on-board  output 
reference  voltage  (VREF-AC)  is  provided  to  bias  the 
center-tap  (VT)  pin.  The  outputs  are  800mV,  100K-
compatible LVPECL with fast rise/fall times  guaranteed to 
be less than 220ps. 
The SY89112U operates  from  a 2.5V ±5% or  3.3V ±10% 
supply  and  is  guaranteed  over  the  full  industrial 
temperature  range of  40°C  to  +85°C.  The SY89112U is –
part of Micrel’s high-speed, Precision Edge® product line.
