DATASHEET
LOW SKEW 1 TO 4 CLOCK BUFFER
Description
The ICS651 is a low skew, single input to four output, clock
buffer. Part of IDT’s ClockBlocks
TM
family, this is a low
skew, small clock buffer.
IDT makes many non-PLL and PLL based low skew output
devices as well as Zero Delay Buffers to synchronize
clocks. Contact us for all of your clocking needs.

Pin Description
Clock Input. 3.3 V tolerant input.
Output Enable. Tri-states outputs when low. Connect to VDD for normal operation.
External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for proper operation. A decoupling capacitor of 0.01
μ
F
should be connected between VDD on pin 7 and GND on pin 6, as close to the device as possible. A 33
Ω
series
terminating resistor may be used on each clock output if the trace is longer than 1 inch.
To achieve the low output skew that the ICS651 is capable of, careful attention must be paid to board layout.
Essentially, all four outputs must have identical terminations, identical loads and identical trace geometries. If they
do not, the output skew will be degraded. For example, using a 30
Ω
series termination on one output (with 33
Ω
on
the others) will cause at least 15 ps of skew.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS651. These ratings, which are
standard values for IDT commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can affect product reliability. Electrical
parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating temperature range.
