PCS2I9942P
With low output impedance (≈12Ω), in both the HIGH and
LOW logic states, the output buffers of the PCS2I9942P
are ideal for driving series terminated transmission lines.
With an output impedance of 12Ω, the PCS2I9942P can
drive two series terminated transmission lines from each
output. This capability gives the PCS2I9942P an effective
fanout of 1:36. The PCS2I9942P provides enough copies
of low skew clocks for most high performance synchronous
systems.
The differential LVPECL inputs of the PCS2I9942P allow
the device to interface directly with a LVPECL fanout buffer
to build very wide clock fanout trees or to couple to a high
frequency clock source. The OE pins will place the outputs
into a high impedance state. The OE pin has an internal
pullup resistor.
The PCS2I9942P is a single supply device. The V
CC
power
pins require either 2.5V or 3.3V. The 32 lead LQFP and
TQFP package is chosen to optimize performance, board
space and cost of the device. The 32–lead LQFP and
TQFP have a 7x7mm
2
body size with conservative 0.8mm
pin spacing.

Functional Description
The PCS2I9942P is a 1:18 low voltage clock distribution
chip with 2.5V or 3.3V LVCMOS output capabilities. The
device is offered in two versions; the PCS2I9942C has an
LVCMOS input clock while the PCS2I9942P has a LVPECL
input clock. The 18 outputs are 2.5V or 3.3V LVCMOS
compatible and feature the drive strength to drive 50Ω
series or parallel terminated transmission lines. With
output-to-output skews of 200pS, the PCS2I9942P is ideal
as a clock distribution chip for the most demanding of
synchronous systems. The 2.5V outputs also make the
device ideal for supplying clocks for a high performance
