Clock distribution for high-speed serial links
The Texas Instruments LMK00725PW is a fanout buffer and multiplexer that distributes a single clock source to up to five LVPECL outputs, operating at frequencies up to 650 MHz. It accepts differential input signals across HCSL, LVDS, LVHSTL, LVPECL, and SSTL standards, making it a flexible glue component for systems where the reference clock source and the downstream loads speak different signal levels.
20-TSSOP footprint and board-level fit
The 2:5 input-to-output ratio means two input pins select the active source, and five differential LVPECL outputs fan out the selected clock — useful for distributing a clean timing reference across multiple ASICs or FPGAs on the same board.
