ESCRIPTION
The ICS858012 is a high speed 1-to-2 Differential-
to-2.5V, 3.3V LVPECL Fanout Buffer and is a
HiPerClockS™
member of the HiPerClockS™ family of high
performance clock solutions from ICS. The
ICS858012 is optimized for high speed and very
low output skew, making it suitable for use in demanding
applications such as SONET, 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit
Ethernet, and Fibre Channel. The internally terminated
differential input and V
REF
_
AC
pin allow other differential signal
families such as LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL and HCSL to be
easily interfaced to the input with minimal use of external
components. The ICS858012 is packaged in a small 3mm x
3mm 16-pin VFQFN package which makes it ideal for use in
space-constrained applications.

NOTE 1: Measured from the differential input crossing point to the differential output crossing point.
NOTE 2: Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions.
Measured at the output differential cross points.
NOTE 3: Defined as skew 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.
