GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS8521 is a low skew, 1-to-9 3.3V Differential-to-LVHSTL Fanout Buffer and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The ICS8521 has two selectable clock inputs. The CLK, nCLK pair can accept most standard differential input levels. The PCLK, nPCLK pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or SSTL input levels. The clock enable is internally synchronized to eliminate runt pulseson the outputs during asynchronous assertion/ deassertion of the clock enable pin.
