NB6N14SMNR2G Integrated Circuits (ICs)

Clock buffering is the process of taking a low-frequency clock signal and producing a high-frequency clock signal with low-skew and highly symmetrical output. The NB6N14SMNR2G from ON Semiconductor is a high-speed fanout buffer, ideal for applications such as clock distributions, where a large variety of outputs are needed. This device integrates four low-skew 2-output buffers into a compact single package. It is suitable in applications requiring low-jitter, high-frequency outputs and which must limit timing errors between devices running off the same clock.The NB6N14SMNR2G is an ideal device for clock distribution applications and offers superior jitter performance without loading heavily on the input frequency source. It includes four independent,clock buffers are capable of operating over the full industrial temperature range of -40 to +85°C. It is also capable of producing frequencies of up to 150MHz with a total jitter of 10ps, which allows for tight timing tolerances between generated clocks on the same board. In addition to its low-skew operation, it provides excellent drive capability, as each output buffer is capable of driving up to 57mA.The NB6N14SMNR2G is designed to provide repeatable and reliable performance over a wide range of frequencies. It operates through a combination of analog and digital design techniques, providing superior jitter performance. The input buffer is designed to be ultra low-noise and low-skew, which helps keep the output clock signals within tight tolerances. It also incorporates additional features such as built-in ESD protection, as well as internal voltage rail monitoring and regulation.The operation of the NB6N14SMNR2G is quite simple. The input clock signal is sent to the input buffer where it is low-noise and low-skew. The signal is then sent to the digital block, which divides it according to the user’s needs. The digital block includes a divide-by-two circuit, which produces a divider output, and a divide-by-thirteen circuit, which produces a thirteen-edge output. Each one of these clocks is then sent to two separate buffering stages before being distributed to the output pins. The two buffering stages are designed to further reduce jitter and guarantee clean clock output signals. The device also includes a dedicated enable pin, which is used to over-ride all clock outputs and to put the device in a low-power state when no clocks are needed.The NB6N14SMNR2G is a robust and reliable device for clock distribution applications and is designed for the most demanding of environments. With its low-jitter, high-frequency outputs and wide temperature range, it is an ideal choice for applications requiring high-performance clocking solutions. It is capable of producing frequencies of up to 150MHz and superior jitter performance, which makes it an excellent choice for applications such as digital signal processors and system timing applications.
