Clock distribution for high-speed serial links
The LMK01010ISQX/NOPB is a 1:8 fanout buffer with divider, accepting a single differential clock input and distributing eight LVDS outputs at up to 1.6 GHz. The 1:8 ratio means one reference clock feeds eight lanes, which suits FPGA transceiver banks or multi-channel ADC/DAC clock trees where skew between outputs must be minimal. Both input and output paths are differential (Yes/Yes per the spec), so the part mates directly with CML, LVPECL, or LVDS sources without external level translation — the common-mode range is handled inside the buffer.
Supply rail and thermal planning
Operating temperature covers -40°C to 85°C, which is the industrial range. The part is rated for outdoor or uncontrolled indoor environments where the ambient inside the enclosure stays below 85°C.
