2 General Description
The LMK1D1208I is an I2C-programmable clock buffer that delivers 8 differential LVDS outputs. This device has
two universal input buffers which support differential or single-ended clock inputs that can be selected through
I2C programming. The device also features on-chip bias generators that can provide LVDS common-mode
voltage for AC-coupled differential clock inputs.
The I2C capabilities of this device can be evaluated by connecting a micro-USB cable to the computer and
interfacing with the
This fully assembled and factory-tested evaluation board allows complete validation of device functionalities.
For optimum performance, the board is equipped with SMA connectors and well-controlled, 50-Ω impedance,
microstrip transmission lines.
3 Signal Path and Control Circuitry
The LMK1D1208I supports single-ended inputs up to 250 MHz and differential inputs up to 2 GHz. Each device
provides up to 8 LVDS outputs that operate at the selected input frequency.
