ESCRIPTION
The ICS8524 is a low skew, 1-to-22 Differential-
to-HSTL Fanout Buffer and a member of the
HiPerClockS™
HiPerClockS™Family of High Performance Clock
Solutions from ICS. The ICS8524 has two select-
able clock inputs. The CLK, nCLK pair can accept
most standard differential input levels. The PCLK, nPCLK pair
can accept LVPECL, CML, or SSTL input levels. The device is
internally synchronized to eliminate runt pulses on the outputs
during asynchronous assertion/deassertion of the OE pin. The
ICS8524’s low output and part-to-part skew characteristics
make it ideal for workstation, server, and other high performance
clock distribution applications.
