NB3N551
3.3 V / 5.0 V
Ultra-Low Skew
1:4 Clock Fanout Buffer
Description
The NB3N551 is a low skew 1−to 4 clock fanout buffer, designed
for clock distribution in mind. The NB3N551 specifically guarantees
low output−to−output skew. Optimal design, layout and processing
minimize skew within a device and from device to device.
The output enable (OE) pin three−states the outputs when low.

Clock Output 4
Negative supply voltage; Connect to ground, 0 V
Positive supply voltage (3.0 V to 5.5 V)
Output Enable for the clock outputs. Outputs are enabled when HIGH or when left
open; OE pin has internal pull−up resistor. Three−states outputs when LOW.
(DFN8 only) Thermal exposed pad must be connected to a sufficient thermal
conduit. Electrically connect to the most negative supply (GND) or leave uncon-
nected, floating open.

Figure 2. Phase Noise Plot at 25 MHz at an Operating Voltage of 3.3 V, Room Temperature
The above plot captured using Agilent E5052A shows Additive Phase Noise of the NB3N551 device measured with an input
source generated by Agilent E8663B. The RMS phase jitter contributed by the device (integrated between 12 kHz to 20 MHz;
as shown in the shaded region of the plot) is 43 fs (RMS Jitter of the input source is 203.31 fs and Output (DUT+Source) is
247.06 fs).
Figure 3. Phase Noise Plot at 50 MHz at an Operating Voltage of 5 V, Room Temperature
The above plot captured using Agilent E5052A shows Additive Phase Noise of the NB3N551 device measured with an input
source generated by Agilent E8663B. The RMS phase jitter contributed by the device (integrated between 12 kHz to 20 MHz;
as shown in the shaded region of the plot) is 16 fs (RMS Jitter of the input source is 104.08 fs and Output (DUT + Source) is
119.77 fs).
