SY89854U
Precision Low Power 1:4 LVPECL Fanout
Buffer/Translator with Internal Termination
General Description
The SY89854U is a 2.5V/3.3V precision, high-
speed, fully differential 1:4 LVPECL fanout buffer.
Optimized to provide four identical output copies
with less than 20ps of skew and less than 10ps
(pp)
total jitter, the SY89854U can process clock signals
as fast as 2GHz.
The differential input includes Micrel’s unique, patent
pending 3-pin input termination architecture that
interfaces to any differential 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
applications, an on-board output reference voltage
(VREF-AC) is provided to bias the center-tap (VT)
pin. The outputs are 800mV LVPECL, with fast
rise/fall times guaranteed to be less than 180ps.
The SY89854U operates from a 2.5V ±5% supply or
a 3.3V ±10% supply and is guaranteed over the full
industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
The SY89854U is part of Micrel’s high-speed,

Pin Description

Pin Name
Pin Function
Differential Input: This input pair is the signal to be buffered. These inputs accept
AC- or DC-coupled differential signals as small as 100mV (200mV
PP
). Each pin
of this pair internally terminates to a VT pin through 50Ω.
Note that this input will
default to an indeterminate state if left open. Please refer to the “Input Interface
Applications” section for more details.
Input Termination Center-Tap: Each side of the differential input pair terminates
to this pin. The VT pin provides a center-tap to a termination network for
maximum interface flexibility. See “Input Interface Applications” section for more
details.
Positive Power Supply. Bypass with 0.1µF||0.01µF low ESR capacitors as close
to the VCC pin as possible.
Differential 100K LVPECL Output: These LVPECL outputs are the precision, low
skew copies of the input signal. Terminate with 50Ω
to V
CC
–2V. Unused output
pairs may be left floating with no impact on jitter. See “Output Interface
Applications” section.
Ground. Ground pin and exposed pad must be connected to the same ground
plane.
Reference Voltage: This output biases to V
CC
–1.2V. It is used when AC coupling
the inputs (IN, /IN). Connect V
REF-AC
to the VT pin. Bypass VREF-AF pin with a
0.01µF low ESR capacitor to V
CC
. Maximum sink/source capability is 1.5mA. See
“Input Interface Applications” section for more details.

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if the 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 Ratings
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. Package thermal resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the devices most negative potential on the PCB.
