The ZL40217 is an LVDS clock fanout buffer with six output clock drivers capable of operating at frequencies up to 750MHz.

The ZL40217 provides an internal input termination network for DC and AC coupled inputs; optional input biasing for AC coupled inputs is also provided. The ZL40217 can accept DC coupled LVPECL or LVDS and AC coupled LVPECL and LVDS input signals, AC coupled CML or HCSL input signals, and single ended signals. A pin compatible device with external termination is also available.

The ZL40217 is designed to fan out low-jitter reference clocks for wired or optical communications applications while adding minimal jitter to the clock signal. An internal linear power supply regulator and bulk capacitors minimize additive jitter due to power supply noise. The device operates from 2.5V+/-5% or 3.3V+/-5% supply. Its operation is guaranteed over the industrial temperature range -40°C to +85°C.
