1.6 GHz clock distribution in a 1:8 fanout
The LMK01010ISQE/NOPB is a 1:8 fanout buffer and divider from Texas Instruments, rated for clock frequencies up to 1.6 GHz. That 1.6 GHz ceiling means it handles high-speed serial links like 10GbE reference clocks or ADC sampling clocks without adding jitter from the distribution tree. All eight outputs are LVDS with fully differential I/O, so the signal integrity budget stays clean across a backplane or long PCB trace — the common-mode rejection rejects ground bounce that would corrupt a single-ended clock.
The supply range is a tight 3.15V to 3.45V — this part needs a regulated 3.3V rail, not a raw battery or a loosely-tolerated LDO.
