SY58603U
4.25Gbps Precision CML Buffer with Internal
Termination and Fail Safe Input
General Description
The SY58603U is a 2.5/3.3V, high-speed, fully
differential CML buffer optimized to provide less than
10ps
pp
total jitter. The SY58603U can process clock
signals as fast as 2.5GHz or data patterns up to
4.25Gbps.
The differential input includes Micrel’s unique, 3-pin
input termination architecture that interfaces to LVPECL,
LVDS or CML differential signals, (AC-coupled or DC-
coupled) as small as 100mV (200mV
pp
) without any
level-shifting or termination resistor networks in the
signal path. For AC-coupled input interface applications,
an integrated voltage reference (V
REF-AC
) is provided to
bias the V
T
pin. The output is 400mV CML, with
extremely fast rise/fall times guaranteed to be less than
85ps.
The SY58603U 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 LVPECL or LVDS outputs,
consider the SY58604U and SY58605U, buffers with
800mV and 325mV output swings respectively. The
SY58603U is part of Micrel’s high-speed, Precision
®
Edge product line.

Pin Function
Differential Input: This input pair is the differential signal input to the device. Input
accepts DC-Coupled differential signals as small as 100mV (200mVpp). Each pin of
this pair internally terminates with 50Ω
to the VT pin. If the input swing falls below a
certain threshold (typical 30mV), the Fail Safe Input (FSI) feature will guarantee a
stable output by latching the output to its last valid state. See “Input Interface
Applications” section for more details.
Input Termination Center-Tap: Each side of the differential input pair terminates to
VT pin. This pin provides a center-tap to a termination network for maximum
interface flexibility. See “Input Interface Applications” section.
Reference Voltage: This output biases to V
CC
–1.2V. It is used for AC-coupling input
IN and /IN. Connect VREF-AC directly to the corresponding VT pin. Bypass with
0.01µF low ESR capacitor to VCC. Maximum sink/source current is ±1.5mA. Please
refer to the “Input Interface Applications” section for more details.
Ground: Exposed pad must be connected to a ground plane that is the same
potential as the ground pin.
CML Differential Output Pair: Differential buffered output copy of the input signal.
The output swing is typically 400mV. See “CML Output Termination” section.
Positive Power Supply: Bypass with 0.1uF//0.01uF low ESR capacitors as close to
the V
CC
pin as possible.

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

4. Due to the limited drive capability, use for input of the same package only.
