CLC006

The Texas Instruments CLC006 is a monolithic, high-speed cable driver engineered for the SMPTE 259M serial digital video data transmission standard. This component is capable of driving 75 Ohm transmission lines, such as Belden 8281, at impressive data rates reaching up to 400 Mbps.

Key electrical specifications include controlled output rise and fall times of 650 ps typical, which help minimize transition-induced jitter. The output voltage swing is typically 1.65V, delivering an 800 mV swing to a back-matched and terminated 75 Ohm cable. Notably, the output swing is adjustable from 0.7 V P-P to 2 V P-P through the use of external resistors.

The CLC006 features a class AB output stage that contributes to its low power dissipation, consuming 185 mW with both outputs terminated. It requires no external bias resistors. The differential inputs can accept a wide range of digital signals, from 200 mV P-P up to ECL levels, within specified common-mode limits. This makes the CLC006 a versatile, high-speed driver for various digital applications.

This device is powered by a single +5V or -5.2V supply and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package. Its design includes no external pull-down resistors and offers adjustable output amplitude and differential input/output capabilities.
