The LMK1D1208I is an I 2C-programmable LVDS clock buffer. The device has two inputs and eight pairs of differential LVDS clock outputs (OUT0 through OUT7) with minimum skew for clock distribution. The inputs can either be LVDS, LVPECL, LVCMOS, HCSL, or CML.

The LMK1D1208I is specifically designed for driving 50-Ω transmission lines. When driving inputs in single-ended mode, apply the appropriate bias voltage to the unused negative input pin.

I 2C programming enables this device to be configured as a single bank buffer (one of the two inputs is distributed to eight output pairs) or as a dual bank buffer (each input is distributed to four outputs pairs). Each output can be configured to have either a standard (350 mV) or boosted (500 mV) swing. This device also incorporates individual output channel enable or disable through I 2C programming. The LMK1D1208I has fail-safe inputs that prevent oscillation at the outputs in the absence of an input signal and allows for input signals before VDD is supplied.Read more
