LMK00334: LMK00334 Compatible with LP-HCSL

Part Number: LMK00334

In my application,LMK00334 is used as clock buffer(one clock input and 2 clock outputs) for PCIE Gen5

The driver and receiver are all LP-HCSL but LMK00334 is HCSL

We are concerning for the communication of LP-HCSL to HCSL and HCSL to LP-HCSL

Could you provide your comments on this?

For example, could they communicate or not? Is there any risk or any concern technically?

  • Hi Murphy,

    That is fine to do but the 50 ohm to ground termination is still required for LMK00334. In other words, LP-HCSL driver to HCSL buffer to LP-HCSL receiver is acceptable as long as the HCSL buffer (LMK00334) is terminated with 50 ohms to ground at each output.

    Regards,

    Jennifer
