ON Semiconductor MC100LVE111FNR2G Clock Fanout Buffer

The MC100LVE111FNR2G is a high-performance, low-voltage clock fanout buffer designed and manufactured by ON Semiconductor, a leading name in the semiconductor industry. This device is specifically engineered to address the needs for distributing a single clock input to multiple destinations with minimal skew and high fidelity. It is an essential component in applications where precise timing and synchronization are crucial, such as in high-speed communication systems, data centers, and advanced computing platforms.

Constructed using ON Semiconductor's advanced ECL technology, the MC100LVE111FNR2G operates with a supply voltage range of 2.375V to 3.8V, making it compatible with low-voltage ECL systems. It boasts a maximum clock frequency of 2GHz, ensuring that it can handle even the most demanding high-speed applications.

The device features a single differential ECL/PECL clock input and three differential ECL/PECL clock outputs, each capable of driving 50Ω transmission lines matched to VTT. The outputs are internally terminated with 50Ω resistors to VCCO to facilitate easy interfacing with transmission lines. This onboard termination reduces component count and simplifies PCB layout, saving both space and cost.

ON Semiconductor's MC100LVE111FNR2G is packaged in a space-saving 28-lead PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package, which provides excellent thermal performance and is suitable for surface mount technology (SMT). The compact form factor of this device allows for high-density mounting and is ideal for applications where board space is at a premium.

This clock fanout buffer features a propagation delay of typically 225ps, ensuring minimal delay across the buffer. Its low skew characteristics (typically 20ps within the device) are critical for maintaining the integrity and timing of the clock signal across multiple destinations.

The MC100LVE111FNR2G is characterized for operation over the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance under various environmental conditions. With its robust design and high-speed capabilities, the MC100LVE111FNR2G is a versatile solution for clock distribution in a wide array of electronic systems.

For engineers and designers looking for a reliable, high-performance clock distribution solution, the MC100LVE111FNR2G from ON Semiconductor offers a mix of speed, precision, and efficiency that is hard to match.
