Texas Instruments High-Performance Analog Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters SN65LVP18DRFR

The SN65LVP18DRFR is a high-frequency oscillator gain stage designed for low-voltage PECL and LVDS applications. It operates with supply voltages of 2.5 V or 3.3 V and supports clock rates up to 1 GHz. The device features a gain control option that allows the Q output voltage to be adjusted from 300 mV to 860 mV, with a default of 575 mV when left open. It includes a voltage reference (VBB) typically set at 1.35 V below VCC for receiving single-ended PECL input signals. The SN65LVP18DRFR is characterized by fast output transition times of 250 ps and low intrinsic phase jitter of 0.12 ps. It is suitable for applications such as PECL-to-LVDS translation and clock signal amplification. The device is housed in a compact 2 mm x 2 mm small-outline no-lead package and is rated for operation over a temperature range of -40¬8C to 85¬8C. It is important to note that the device has limited built-in ESD protection and should be handled with care to prevent electrostatic damage.
