FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Ultralow noise floor: −165.9 dBc/Hz or −165.2 dBc/Hz
(LVPECL or LVDS) at 2000 MHz
Configurable to LVPECL or pseudo LVDS outputs
2.5 V or 3.3 V LVPECL operation (LVDS 2.5 V only)
Wideband: 10 MHz to 3500 MHz operating frequency range
Flexible input interface
LVPECL, LVDS, CML, and CMOS compatible
AC or dc coupling
On-chip 50 kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistors to VDD and
GND
Multiple output drivers
Up to 8 differential or 16 single-ended LVPECL or LVDS
outputs
Low speed digital control via the IN_SEL and CONFIG pins
28-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm, LFCSP package, 25 mm2
The HMC6832 is an input selectable, 2:8 differential fanout
buffer designed for low noise clock distribution. The IN_SEL
control pin selects one of the two differential inputs. This input
is then buffered to all eight differential outputs. The low jitter
outputs of the HMC6832 lead to synchronized low noise
switching of downstream circuits, such as mixers, analog-todigital converters (ADCs)/digital-to-analog converters (DACs),
or serializer/deserializer (SERDES) devices. The device is capable
of low voltage, positive emitter-coupled logic (LVPECL) or low
voltage differential signaling (LVDS) configurations by pulling
the CONFIG pin low for LVPECL or high or open (internally
pulled high) for pseudo LVDS.

Multiple Output Configurations.
The CONFIG pin allows the user to select LVPECL or
LVDS output termination.
Multiple Supply Voltage Operation.
The HMC6832 operates at 2.5 V or 3.3 V for LVPECL
terminations (2.5 V only for LVDS).
Low Noise.
The HMC6832 noise is low, typically from −168 dBc/Hz to
−162 dBc/Hz up to 3000 MHz.
Low Propagation Delay.
The HMC6832 displays a low delay, less than 207 ps,
typical. Channel skew is also low, ±5 ps, typical.
Low Core Current.
The HMC6832 has a low core current of 56 mA, typical.
