AM26LV32E: What is the maximum operating frequency of AM26LV32E?

Part Number: AM26LV32E

Hello guys,

One of my customers is going to replace DS26LV32AT with AM26LV32E because DS26LV32AT will be EOL in near future.
At this moment, they have the following questions about AM26LV32E.
Could you please give me your reply?

Q1.
What is the maximum operating frequency of AM26LV32E?
DS26LV32AT datasheet says that the maximum operating frequency is 32MHz and the value is described at "MIN" column.
But  in AM26LV32E datasheet case, it says that the maximum operating frequency value (32MHz) is described at "TYP" column.
Why the value is described at "TYP" column?

Q2. 
What are meaning of tSK(p), tSK(o) of switching characteristics?

Your reply would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Kazuya.

  • Hi Kazuya,

    1. 32MHz as stated in datasheet. Its in the typical category because in all reality its a system dependent spec - the DS device specifying a minimum is more strange - as system dependencies make it hard to give an absolute value. That being said you should expect the same frequency performance as the DS device.

    2. tSK(p) is the difference between Tphl and Tplh (difference between high to low and low to high propagation delays) and tSK(o) is the channel to channel skew - I understand the confusion though as its not super well defined in the datasheet. 

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Best,
