SN65CML100DGK

The SN65CML100DGK from Texas Instruments is a versatile high-speed translator and repeater IC capable of handling signaling rates up to 1.5 Gbps. This device is designed to provide level translation from LVDS or LVPECL input signals to CML output signals, and also functions as a CML-to-CML repeater.

Key electrical specifications include a maximum data rate of 1.5 Gbps, total jitter less than 70 ps, and a part-to-part skew of 100 ps maximum. The CML compatible output can directly drive devices with 3.3-V, 2.5-V, or 1.8-V supplies. It features wide common-mode receiver capability, allowing direct coupling of input signals, and includes 25 mV of receiver input threshold hysteresis over a 0-V to 4-V common-mode range. The propagation delay is a maximum of 800 ps.

This translator/repeater is suitable for applications requiring level translation, such as 622-MHz central office clock distribution, high-speed network routing, and wireless basestations. It is also useful as a low jitter clock repeater.

The SN65CML100DGK is available in an 8-VSSOP package and operates within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It is designed for surface mount applications.
