GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADCLK944 is an ultrafast clock fanout buffer fabricated on
the Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary XFCB3 silicon germanium
(SiGe) bipolar process. This device is designed for high speed
applications requiring low jitter.
The device has a differential input equipped with center-tapped,
differential, 100 Ω on-chip termination resistors. The input can
accept dc-coupled LVPECL, CML, 3.3 V CMOS (single-ended),
and ac-coupled 1.8 V CMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL inputs. A V
REF
pin is available for biasing ac-coupled inputs.
The ADCLK944 features four full-swing emitter-coupled logic
(ECL) output drivers. For LVPECL (positive ECL) operation,
bias V
CC
to the positive supply and V
EE
to ground. For ECL
operation, bias V
CC
to ground and V
EE
to the negative supply.
The ECL output stages are designed to directly drive 800 mV
each side into 50 Ω terminated to V
CC
− 2 V for a total differen-
tial output swing of 1.6 V.
The ADCLK944 is available in a 16-lead LFCSP and is specified
for operation over the standard industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C.

The output-to-output skew is the difference between any two similar delay paths while operating at the same voltage and temperature.
Measured at the rising edge of the clock signal; calculated using the SNR of the ADC method.
