PI6C59 High-Performance Clock Buffers for Networking Applications

Diodes’ PI6C59xxxxx series of 1.5 GHz to 6 GHz high-performance clock buffers have 2, 4, 6, 12, and 16 outputs for design optimization. These devices use a reference clock input to generate multiple copies of the same frequency outputs, which makes them cost-effective when designs require multiple copies of a frequency and maintain a synchronous clock throughout. These fan-out buffers also have a very low additive jitter of ~10 fs which provides ample margin for the latest high-speed designs with a total jitter budget of 150 fs or below. The PI6C59xxxxx series is suitable for PAM4 Ethernet switches, routers, and datacenter applications. The devices can also be used in industrial and embedded applications that support high port counts.
