ESCRIPTION
The ICS8523 is a low skew, high perfor-
mance 1-to-4 Differential-to-HSTL fanout buffer
HiPerClockS™
and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of High
Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The
ICS8523 has two selectable clock inputs. The
CLK, nCLK pair can accept most standard differential input
levels. The PCLK, nPCLK pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or
SSTL input levels. The clock enable is internally synchronized
to eliminate runt pulses on the outputs during asynchronous
assertion/deassertion of the clock enable pin.
F
EATURES

After CLK_EN switches, the clock outputs are disabled or enabled following a rising and falling input clock edge
as shown in Figure 1.
In the active mode, the state of the outputs are a function of the CLK , nCLK and PCLK, nPCLK inputs as described

All parameters measured at 500MHz unless noted otherwise.
The cycle to cycle jitter on the input will equal the jitter on the output. The par t does not add jitter.
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 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.
NOTE 4: This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.
