General Description
The SY89833AL is a lower noise version of the SY89833L
3.3V, high-speed 2GHz Low Voltage Differential Swing
(LVDS) 1:4 fanout buffer. Within device skew is
guaranteed to be less than 20ps over supply voltage and
temperature.
The differential input buffer has a unique internal
termination design that allows access to the termination
network through a VT pin. This feature allows the device to
easily interface to different logic standards. A VREF-AC
reference is included for AC-coupled applications.
The SY89833AL is part of Micrel’s high-speed clock
synchronization family. For 2.5V applications, the
SY89832U provides similar functionality while operating
from a 2.5V ±5% supply. For applications that require a
different I/O combination, consult the Micrel website at:
www.micrel.com, and choose from a comprehensive
product line of high-speed, low-skew fanout buffers,
translators and clock generators. Datasheets and support
documentation can be found on Micrel’s web site at:

LVDS Differential Outputs: Normally terminated with 100 across the pair (Q,

terminated with a 100 resistor across each pair.

This single-ended TTL/CMOS-compatible input functions as a synchronous
output enable. The synchronous enable ensures that enable/disable will only
occur when the outputs are in a logic LOW state. Note that this input is internally
connected to a 25k pull-up resistor and will default to logic HIGH state
(enabled) if left open.
9, 12 /IN, IN Differential Input: This input pair is the differential signal input to the device.
Input accepts AC- or DC-Coupled differential signals as small as 100mV. Each
pin of the pair internally terminates to a VT pin through 50. Note that this input
will default to an intermediate state if left open. Please refer to the “Input
Interface Applications” section for more details.
10 VREF-AC
Reference Voltage: This output biases to VCC–1.4V. It is used when AC-
Coupling the input (IN, /IN). For AC-Coupled applications, connect VREF-AC to
VT pin and bypass with 0.1µF low ESR capacitor to VCC. See “Input Interface
Applications” section for more details. Maximum sink/source current is ±1.5mA.
Due to the limited drive capability, each VREF-AC pin is only intended to drive its
respective VT pin.
11 VT
Input Termination Center-Tap: Each side of the differential input pair terminates
to the VT pin. The VT pin provides a center-tap to a termination network for
maximum interface flexibility. See “Input Interface Applications” section for more
details.
13 GND
Ground. GND pin and exposed pad must be connected to the most negative
potential of the device ground.
7, 14 VCC Positive Power Supply: Bypass with 0.1µF//0.01µF low ESR capacitors and
place as close to each VCC pin as possible.

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional operation is not implied
at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
2. The data sheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond the operating ratings.
3. Package thermal resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device's most negative potential on the PCB. ψJB and θJA values
are determined for a 4-layer board in still-air number, unless otherwise stated.
4. The circuit is designed to meet the DC specifications shown in the above table after thermal equilibrium has been established.
5. Due to the internal termination (see "Input Stage" section) the input current depends on the applied voltages at IN, /IN and VT inputs. Do not apply a
combination of voltages that causes the input current to exceed the maximum limit!

Notes:
7. High-frequency AC parameters are guaranteed by design and characterization.
8. Within device skew is measured between two different outputs under identical input transitions.
9. Part-to-part skew is defined for two parts with identical power supply voltages at the same temperature and no skew at the edges at the respective
inputs.
10. Set-up and hold times apply to synchronous applications that intend to enable/disable before the next clock cycle. For asynchronous applications,
set-up and hold times do not apply.
11. Random jitter is measured with a K28.7 pattern, measured at fMAX.
12. Deterministic jitter is measured at 2.5Gbps with both K28.5 and 223–1 PRBS pattern.
13. Cycle-to-cycle jitter definition: The variation period between adjacent cycles over a random sample of adjacent cycle pairs. tJITTER_CC = Tn
Tn+1, where T is the time between rising edges of the output signal.
14. Total jitter definition: with an ideal clock input frequency of fMAX (device), no more than one output edge in 1012 output edges will deviate by
more than the specified peak-to-peak jitter value.
15. Integrated over the range of 12kHz to 20MHz.

LVDS specifies a small swing of 325mV typical, on a
nominal 1.20V common mode above ground. The common
mode voltage has tight limits to permit large variations in
ground noise between an LVDS driver and receiver.
