Press Release Summary:
Seventeen 3GHz to 4GHz PECL and LVPECL devices, part of ECL Pro(TM) communications logic solutions, include clock fanout buffers and clock dividers, drivers/receivers, and translators. They operate down to 2.5V single-supply and are guaranteed over -40 to 85 deg C temperature range. Fanout buffer family offers maximum frequency of more than 3GHz, pin-to-pin skew of less than 20ps, and tr/tf time of less than 180ps over temperature.
Original Press Release:
3GHz - 4GHz PECL/LVPECL Logic Family Operates Down to 2.5V, Guarantees Performance Over Industrial Temperature Range
* 30% to 50% improvement in speed and precision
* 2.5V to 5V operation guaranteed over -40degC to +85degC
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (January 29. 2002) - Seventeen new 3GHz to 4GHz PECL and LVPECL devices have been added to Micrel Semiconductor's growing portfolio of ECL Pro(TM) communications logic solutions. Micrel (NASDAQ: MCRL) is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of integrated circuits for the analog, power management and high speed communications markets.
The new PECL/LVPECL devices include clock fanout buffers and clock dividers, drivers/receivers and translators. They operate down to 2.5V single-supply and are guaranteed over the -40degC to +85degC temperature range. A new fanout buffer family (SY10/100EP11, EP 111 and EP210) features a 30% to 50% improvement in critical AC-timing parameters compared to the previous ECLinPS Lite(TM) family: a guaranteed maximum frequency >3GHz, pin-to-pin skew of <20ps, and tr/tf time of <180ps over temperature.
The ECL Pro(TM) family of devices is a rapidly growing line of high-performance ECL logic, offering a significant speed upgrade compared to the ECLinPS Lite(TM) devices.
Manufactured with the same functionality as ECLinPS Lite(TM) but with greatly improved performance, the seventeen new ECL Pro devices include:

"The demand for faster, more accurate, timing-critical support functions has increased in step with the demand for lower voltage, faster VLSI ASICs and ASSPs," said Steve Pratt, product marketing manager. "Micrel's ECL Pro(TM) family meets the demanding timing requirements of today's SONET OC-3 to OC-192 optical networking, Fiber Channel, Gigabit Ethernet communications systems, and high-end server/networking systems. The new ECL Pro(TM) devices provide a significant reduction in channel-to-channel skew, improved rise and fall time and increased bandwidth."
