Description
The SL23EP04 is a low skew, low jitter and low power
Zero Delay Buffer (ZDB) designed to produce up to four
(4) clock outputs from one (1) reference input clock, for
high speed clock distribution applications.

Low part-to-part output skew: 150 ps-typ
3.3V to 2.5V power supply range
Low power dissipation:
-
12 mA-typ at 66MHz and VDD=3.3V
- 10 mA-typ at 66MHz and VDD=2.5V
One input drives 4 outputs
The product has an on-chip PLL and a feedback pin
(FBK) which can be used to obtain feedback from any
one of the 4 output clocks. The SL23EP04 offers X/2,1X
and 2X frequency options at the output with respect to
input reference clock. Refer to the “Product Configuration
Table” for the details of these options.
The SL23EP04-1H and -2H High Drive version operates
up to 220 MHz and 200MHz at 3.3 and 2.5V power
supplies respectively. The standard versions -1 and -2
operate up to 167MHz and 135MHz at 3.3V and 2.5V
power supplies respectively with CL=15pF output load.
The SL23EP04 enter into Power Down (PD) mode if the
input at CLKIN is DC (GND to VDD). In this state all 4
output clocks are tri-stated and the PLL is turned off,
leading to 8μA-typ power supply current draw.

SpreadThru™ Feature
If a Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) were to be used as
an input clock, the SL23EP04 is designed to pass the
modulated Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) signal from
its reference CLKIN input to the output clocks. The
same spread spectrum characteristics at the input are
passed through the PLL and drivers without any
degradation in spread percent (%), spread profile and
modulation frequency.
