ICS8516I
LOW SKEW, 1-TO-16
DIFFERENTIAL-TO-LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION CHIP
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS8516I is a low skew, high performance
1-to-16 Differential-to-LVDS Clock Distribution
HiPerClockS™ Chip and a member of the HiPerClockS™
family of High Performance Clock Solutions
from ICS. The ICS8516I CLK, nCLK pair can
accept any differential input levels and translates them to
3.3V LVDS output levels. Utilizing Low Voltage Differential
Signaling (LVDS), the ICS8516I provides a low power, low
noise, point-to-point solution for distributing clock signals
over controlled impedances of 100Ω.
• 16 Differential LVDS outputs
Dual output enable inputs allow the ICS8516I to be used in
a 1-to-16 or 1-to-8 input/output mode. Guaranteed output
and part-to-part skew specifications make the ICS8516I ideal
for those applications demanding well defined performance
and repeatability.
• Multiple output enable inputs for disabling unused
outputs in reduced fanout applications
ICS
• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential
input levels: LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, HCSL, SSTL
• Maximum output frequency: 700MHz
• Translates any differential input signal (LVPECL, LVHSTL,
SSTL, DCM) to LVDS levels without external bias networks
• Translates any single-ended input signal to LVDS
with resistor bias on nCLK input
• LVDS compatible
• Output skew: 65ps (maximum)
• Part-to-part skew: 550ps (maximum)
• Propagation delay: 2.4ns (maximum)
• 3.3V operating supply
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature

APPLICATION INFORMATION
WIRING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO ACCEPT SINGLE ENDED LEVELS
Figure 1 shows how the differential input can be wired to accept
single ended levels. The reference voltage V_REF = VDD/2 is
generated by the bias resistors R1, R2 and C1. This bias circuit
should be located as close as possible to the input pin. The
ratio of R1 and R2 might need to be adjusted to position the
V_REF in the center of the input voltage swing. For example, if
the input clock swing is only 2.5V and VDD= 3.3V, V_REF should
be 1.25V and R2/R1 = 0.609.

LVDS DRIVER TERMINATION
A general LVDS interface is shown in Figure 2. In a 100Ω differential transmission line environment, LVDS drivers require
a matched load termination of 100Ω across near the receiver
input. For a multiple LVDS outputs buffer, if only partial outputs are used, it is recommended to terminate the un-used
outputs.

DIFFERENTIAL CLOCK INPUT INTERFACE
The CLK /nCLK accepts LVDS, LVPECL, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL
and other differential signals. Both VSWING and VOH must meet
the VPP and VCMR input requirements. Figures 3A to 3E show
interface examples for the HiPerClockS CLK/nCLK input driven
by the most common driver types. The input interfaces sug-
gested here are examples only. Please consult with the vendor
of the driver component to confirm the driver termination requirements. For example in Figure 3A, the input termination
applies for ICS HiPerClockS LVHSTL drivers. If you are using
an LVHSTL driver from another vendor, use their termination
recommendation.

Figure 4 shows a schematic example of ICS8516I. In this example, the input is driven by an LVDS driver. For LVDS buffer, it
is recommended to terminate the unused outputs for better sig-
