LOW SKEW, 1-TO-4
DIFFERENTIAL LVPECL-TO-LVPECL/ECL FANOUT BUFFER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS889831 is a high speed 1-to-4 Differentialto-LVPECL/ECL Fanout Buffer and is a member
HiPerClockS™
of the HiPerClockS™ family of high performance
clock solutions from ICS. The ICS889831 is
optimized for high speed and very low output
skew, making it suitable for use in demanding applications
such as SONET, 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and Fibre
Channel. The internally terminated differential input and
VREF_ AC pin allow other differential signal families such as
LVDS, LVHSTL and CML to be easily interfaced to the input
with minimal use of external components. The device also has
an output enable pin which may be useful for system test
and debug purposes. The ICS889831 is packaged in a small
3mm x 3mm 16-pin VFQFN package which makes it ideal
for use in space-constrained applications.

ADDITIVE PHASE JITTER
the 1Hz band to the power in the fundamental. When the required offset is specified, the phase noise is called a dBc value,
which simply means dBm at a specified offset from the fundamental. By investigating jitter in the frequency domain, we get a
better understanding of its effects on the desired application over
the entire time record of the signal. It is mathematically possible
to calculate an expected bit error rate given a phase noise plot.
The spectral purity in a band at a specific offset from the fundamental compared to the power of the fundamental is called the
dBc Phase Noise. This value is normally expressed using a
Phase noise plot and is most often the specified plot in many
applications. Phase noise is defined as the ratio of the noise
power present in a 1Hz band at a specified offset from the fundamental frequency to the power value of the fundamental. This
ratio is expressed in decibels (dBm) or a ratio of the power in

As with most timing specifications, phase noise measurements
have issues. The primary issue relates to the limitations of the
equipment. Often the noise floor of the equipment is higher than
the noise floor of the device. This is illustrated above. The de-
889831AK
vice meets the noise floor of what is shown, but can actually be
lower. The phase noise is dependant on the input source and
measurement equipment.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
TERMINATION FOR 3.3V LVPECL OUTPUTS
50Ω transmission lines. Matched impedance techniques should
be used to maximize operating frequency and minimize signal
distortion. Figures 2A and 2B show two different layouts which
are recommended only as guidelines. Other suitable clock layouts may exist and it would be recommended that the board
designers simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed
circuit and clock component process variations.
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termination for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned
are recommended only as guidelines.
FOUT and nFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, terminating
resistors (DC current path to ground) or current sources must
be used for functionality. These outputs are designed to drive

LVPECL driver. These terminations are equivalent to terminating 50Ω to VCC - 2V. For VCC = 2.5V, the VCC - 2V is very close to
ground level. The R3 in Figure 3B can be eliminated and the
termination is shown in Figure 3C.

SCHEMATIC EXAMPLE
Figure 8 shows a schematic example of the ICS889831. This
schematic provides examples of input and output handling. The
ICS889831 input has built-in 50Ω termination resistors. The input can directly accept various types of differential signal without AC couple. For AC couple termination, the ICS889831 also
provides the VREF_AC pin for proper offset level after the AC
couple. This example shows the ICS889831 input driven by a
2.5V LVPECL driver with AC couple. The ICS889831 outputs
are LVPECL driver. In this example, we assume the traces are
long transmission line and the receiver is high input impedance
without built-in matched load. An example of 3.3V LVPECL termination is shown in this schematic. Additional termination approaches are shown in the LVPECL Termination Application Note.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the ICS839831.
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1. Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the ICS889831 is the sum of the core power plus the power dissipated in the load(s).
The following is the power dissipation for VCC = 3.63V, which gives worst case results.
NOTE: Please refer to Section 3 for details on calculating power dissipated in the load.
•
•
Power (core)MAX = VCC_MAX * IEE_MAX = 3.63V * 60mA = 217.8mW
Power (outputs)MAX = 30.94mW/Loaded Output pair
If all outputs are loaded, the total power is 4 * 30.94mW = 123.8mW
•
Power Dissipation at built-in terminations: Assume the input is driven by a 3.3V SSTL driver as shown in Figure 5E
and estimated approximately 1.75V drop across IN and nIN.
Total Power Dissipation for the two 50Ω built-in terminations is: (1.75V)2 / (50Ω + 50Ω) = 30.6mW
Total Power_MAX (3.63V, with all outputs switching) = 217.8mW + 123.8mW + 30.6mW = 372.2mW
2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad and directly affects the reliability of the
device. The maximum recommended junction temperature for HiPerClockSTM devices is 125°C.
The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj = θJA * Pd_total + TA
Tj = Junction Temperature
θJA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)
TA = Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θJA must be used. Assuming a
moderate air flow of 0 linear feet per minute and a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 51.5°C/W per Table 6 below.
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 85°C with all outputs switching is:
85°C + 0.372W * 51.5°C/W = 104°C. This is well below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow,
and the type of board (single layer or multi-layer).
