ESCRIPTION
The ICS8537-01 is a Hex low skew, high performance 1-to-2
Differential-to-3.3V/2.5 LVPECL Clock Buffer. The ICS8537-
01 has six selectable clock inputs. The CLKx, nCLKx pairs
can accept most differential input levels and translate them to
3.3V or 2.5V LVPECL output levels.Guaranteed output and
part-to-part skew specifications make the ICS8537-01 ideal
for those applications demanding well defined performance
and repeatability.
F
EATURES

Measured from at the output differential cross points.
NOTE 3: Defined as skew within a bank of outputs at the same voltages and with equal load conditions.
NOTE 4: Defined as between outputs on different devices operating at the same supply voltages and
with equal load conditions. Using the same type of inputs on each device, the outputs are measured
at the differential cross points.
NOTE 5: This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.
