Hello,
for an application I am looking for a 1:5 fanout buffer, up to 3Gbps data rate, that could be interfaced to an AC coupled and terminated device inputs.
The signal source I need to fanout has a 750 mV differential swing (into a 100 ohm load).
The devices i need to route the signal to have inputs AC coupled and terminated, accept 200 - 350 mV differential swing. So it seems an LVDS fanout buffer such as the
DS25BR204 (datasheet) would fit nicely, but I need not only 4, but 5 outputs really.
Do you know of any other fanout buffer, that would fit the above, with probably LVDS output swing and accepting LVDS/LVPECL input swing and would work as a simple 5 output fanout buffer?
So far I have only found some with LVPECL outputs, but I have no idea if or how I could use those with the AC coupled terminated device inputs.
Thanks for any hints for devices.
Y.
//EDIT: This is the LVPECL 1:6 fanout IC:
Renesas 8S58035I (datasheet). Can these even be used for data? They seem to be marketed just as clock buffers.
