DATASHEET
PECL TO CMOS CONVERTER
Description
The ICS508 is the most cost effective way to generate
a high quality, high frequency CMOS clock output from
a PECL clock input.
The ICS508 has separate VDD supplies for the PECL
input buffer and the output buffer, allowing different
voltages to be used. For example, the input clock could
use a 3.3 V supply while the output operates from 2.5V.
The device has an Output Enable pin that tri-states the
clock output when the OE pin is taken low.
The ICS508 is a member of IDT’s
family.
