SY58021U
4GHz, 1:4 LVPECL Fanout
Buffer/Translator with Internal Termination
Precision Edge
®
General Description
The SY58021U 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 15ps output
skew and only 70 fs
RMS
phase jitter, the SY58021U can
process clock signals as fast as 4GHz.
The differential input includes Micrel’s unique, 3-pin input
termination architecture interfaces to differential LVPECL,
CML, and LVDS signals (AC- or DC-coupled) as small as
100mV without any level-shifting or termination resistor
networks in the signal path. For AC-coupled input interface
applications, an on-board output reference voltage (V
REFAC
)
is provided to bias the VT pin. The outputs are 100k
LVPECL compatible, with extremely fast rise/fall times
guaranteed to 70fs.
The SY58021U operates from a 2.5V ±5% supply or 3.3V
±10% supply and is guaranteed over the full industrial
temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). For applications that
require faster rise/fall times, or greater bandwidth, consider
the SY58022U 1:4 fanout buffer with 400mV LVPECL
output swing, or the SY58020U 1:4 CML fanout buffer. The
®
SY58021U is part of Micrel’s high-speed, Precision Edge
product line.

Pin Description

Pin Name
IN, /IN
Pin Function
Differential Input: This input pair receives the signal to be buffered. Each pin of this pair internally
terminates with 50Ω to the VT pin. Note that this input will default to an indeterminate state if left
open. See “Input Interface Applications” section.
Input Termination Center-Tap: Each input terminates to this pin. The V
T
pin provides a center-tap
for each input (IN, /IN) to the termination network for maximum interface flexibility. See “Input
Interface Applications” section.
Reference Output Voltage: This output biases to V
CC
–1.2V. It is used when AC-coupling to
differential inputs. Connect V
REF-AC
directly to the VT pin. Bypass with 0.01µF low ESR capacitor
to V
CC
. See “Input Interface Applications” section.
Positive Power Supply: Bypass with 0.1µF//0.01µF low ESR capacitors as close to the V
CC
pins
as possible.
Ground. Exposed pad must be connected to a ground plane that is the same potential as the
ground pin.
LVPECL Differential Output Pairs: Differential buffered output copy of the input signal. The output
swing is typically 800mV Proper termination is 50Ω to V
CC
–2V at the receiving end. Unused
output pairs may be left floating with no impact on jitter or skew. See “LVPECL Output
Termination” section.

Notes:
1.
Permanent device damage may occur if ratings in the “Absolute Maximum Ratings” section are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation is not implied for 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.
The data sheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond the operating ratings.
Thermal performance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device’s most negative potential on the PCB.
Due to the limited drive capability, use for input of the same package only.
The circuit is designed to meet the DC specifications shown in the above table after thermal equilibrium has been established.
