PECL-to-LVDS signal conditioning for high-speed serial links
It is a member of the SN65LVDS16 family, intended for point-to-point or multi-drop clock and data distribution where the transmission distance or cable loss has degraded the PECL edge rates. The 460 ps propagation delay is fixed and adds a deterministic latency to the link budget, which matters when the part is used in a closed-loop timing chain or a synchronous backplane.
Package and footprint — 8-WSON with exposed pad
The small 2x2 mm footprint suits dense layouts on multi-layer backplanes or line cards where board area is tight.
The industrial temperature range also suits test equipment and instrumentation that must function in unconditioned spaces.
