PL123-05N/-09N
Low Skew Fanout Buffer
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The PL123-05N and PL123-09N are a low-cost
fanout buffers for distributing high-speed clocks with
low output to output skew and preserving low noise
properties. The fanout buffers accept an input from
DC to 134MHz and provide 5 or 9 outputs of the same
frequency. A typical PL123-09N application for driving
SDRAM in PC systems would use eight outputs to
drive two DIMMs, or four SO-DIMMs, with the remaining output used for driving an external fee dback to a PLL. A typical PL123-05N application is
to fanout a low noise CMOS clock oscillat or to 5
low noise CMOS clocks.
Output fanout buffer for DC to 134MHz
Output Options:
o 1:5 output fanout with PL123-05
o 1:9 output fanout with PL123-09
Low power consumption for portable applications
Low input-output delay
Output-Output skew less than 250ps
Low Additive Phase Jitter of 60fs RMS
2.5V to 3.3V, ±10% operation
1.8V ±10% operation up to 67MHz
Operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C
Available in 16-Pin SOP (PL123-09) and 8-Pin
SOP (PL123-05). Both are GREEN/RoHS packages.
These parts are not intended for 5V input-tolerant applications.

LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
The following guidelines are to assist you with a pe rformance optimized PCB design:
Signal Integrity and Termination
Considerations
Decoupling and Power Supply
Considerations
- Keep traces short!
- Trace = Inductor. With a capacitive load this equals
ringing!
- Long trace = Transmission Line. Without proper termination this will cause reflections ( looks like ringing ).
- Design long traces (> 1 inch) as “striplines” or
“microstrips” with defined impedance.
- Match trace at one side to avoid reflections bounc ing
back and forth.
- Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible
to the VDD pin(s) to limit noise from the power
supply
- Addition of a ferrite bead in series with VDD can
help prevent noise from other board sources
- Value of decoupling capacitor is frequency dependant. Typical values to use are 0.1 F for designs using frequencies < 50MHz and 0.01F for
designs using frequencies > 50MHz.
Typical CMOS termination
Place Series Resistor as close as possible to CMOS output
CMOS Output Buffer
To CMOS Input
( Typical buffer impedance 20 ohm)
50 ohm line
Connect a 33 ohm series resistor at each of the output clocks to
enhance the stability of the output signal

When a buffer is used to pass a signal then the buffer will add a little bit of its own noise. The phase noise on the output of the
buffer will be a little bit more than the phase noise in the input signal. To quantify the noise addition in the buffer we compare the
Phase Jitter numbers from the input and the output. The difference is called "Additive Phase Jitter". The formula for the Additive
Phase Jitter is as follows:
2
Additive Phase Jitter = (Output Phase Jitter) - (Input Phase Jitter)
