The Pericom (now Diodes Incorporated) PI90LV180WE is a 1:8 LVDS fanout buffer designed for high-speed data distribution. It accepts a single LVDS input and replicates it to eight LVDS outputs with minimal skew and jitter. This device is ideal for distributing clock signals or data signals in high-performance systems where signal integrity is critical.

Applications:

• Clock Distribution: Distributing clock signals in servers, networking equipment, and high-speed data acquisition systems.
• Data Distribution: Fanout of data signals in backplanes, routers, and switches.
• High-Speed Interconnects: Signal buffering in high-speed communication links.
• ATE (Automated Test Equipment): Distributing test signals in testing and measurement equipment.
• Medical Imaging: Signal distribution in medical imaging systems.

Features:

• 1:8 LVDS Fanout Buffer: Distributes a single LVDS input to eight LVDS outputs.
• Low Skew: Minimizes timing differences between output signals.
• Low Jitter: Reduces noise and timing uncertainty in output signals.
• High Speed: Supports data rates up to several Gbps.
• Low Power Consumption: Efficient power usage for reduced heat dissipation.
• Wide Supply Voltage Range: Flexible power supply options.
• Small Package: Compact size for space-constrained applications.

Benefits:

• Improved Signal Integrity: Minimizes signal degradation in high-speed systems.
• Increased System Performance: Enables faster data rates and more reliable operation.
• Reduced Design Complexity: Simplifies clock and data distribution networks.
• Lower Power Consumption: Reduces overall system power consumption.
• Space Savings: Compact package allows for smaller board designs.

Additional Details:

The PI90LV180WE is typically available in a small outline package such as a TSSOP or QFN. It operates from a supply voltage of typically 3.3V or 2.5V. The LVDS outputs are designed to drive 100-ohm transmission lines. The device includes features such as output enable control and power-down mode. The operating temperature range is typically between -40°C and +85°C. It supports various LVDS standards, including ANSI TIA/EIA-644. The propagation delay is typically in the picosecond range, ensuring minimal impact on signal timing.
