300 MHz LVPECL fanout buffer with multi-protocol input
The LTC6957IDD-1#TRPBF is a single-channel, 1:2 fanout buffer from Analog Devices that accepts CML, CMOS, LVDS, or LVPECL inputs and delivers a LVPECL output at up to 300 MHz. This means one clock source can drive two downstream loads without degrading edge rates or adding jitter — a common need in ADC clock trees, FPGA reference distribution, and backplane timing.
Supply rail and temperature grade for industrial environments
Operates from a 3.15V to 3.45V supply — a tight tolerance that suits a regulated 3.3V rail with ±5% margin.
Package and mounting for high-speed layout
The 0.50 mm pitch demands careful fan-out — a 2-layer board is tight; a 4-layer stack-up with ground plane under the pad is recommended for signal integrity.
Active lifecycle and sourcing posture
The Tape & Reel variant (2,500 pieces per reel) is feeder-ready for volume assembly; Cut Tape is also available for prototype builds.
