PL123-09NSC-R

The PL123-09NSC-R is a clock buffer and driver with a family of standard integrated circuits designed to enable timing signals to be shared between circuit devices such as FPGAs, ASICs, and microprocessors. It is used in a variety of applications, from consumer products to professional equipment, in order to ensure that timing signals are accurately distributed and synchronized. The PL123-09NSC-R is a type of Buffers and Drivers device, which is commonly used to counteract the problems that can occur when multiple devices, modules, or boards share the same timing signal. These problems can arise due to differences in clock-loading, operating frequency, or peak operating current within the system, leading to timing skew and problems in signal reliability.

The PL123-09NSC-R is designed to address these issues, offering a single clock source that can be shared between multiple items on the same circuit. It is based on a PECL (Positive Edge Clock Logic) platform, which is designed to be compatible with logic and programmable logic devices such as FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). This platform is ideal for high-speed, low-power applications, as it typically draws only a few milliwatts from the power supply. It is also immune to many of the issues associated with PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) designs, such as jitter and clock skew.

The PL123-09NSC-R has a typical input frequency range of 8kHz to 8MHz, allowing it to support a wide range of clock signals. In addition, it provides an adjustable skew of up to 15ps, ensuring that the timing signals are accurately forwarded to the connected devices. The integrated circuit also features adjustable termination resistors, allowing the user to adjust the impedance of the circuit, helping to reduce ringing and prevent unwanted signals.

The PL123-09NSC-R is designed to operate over a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for use in a variety of harsh conditions. It is also designed to meet the requirements of the EN55024 standard, which ensures EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) are kept to a minimum. In addition, it features both lead-free and low-power CMOS (Complementary Metal-oxide Semiconductor) technology, which helps to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation.

In conclusion, the PL123-09NSC-R is a versatile and reliable clock buffer and driver which is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its combination of adjustable termination resistors, adjustable skew, and wide temperature range, make it ideal for use in a variety of complex timing systems.
