General Description
The SY58021U is a 2.5V/3.3V precision, high-speed, fully differential 1:4 LVPECL fanout buffer. Optimized to provide four identical output copies with less than 15 ps output skew and only 70 fs RMS phase jitter, the SY58021U can process clock signals as fast as 4 GHz.
The differential input includes Microchip's unique, 3-pin input termination architecture interfaces to differential LVPECL, CML, and LVDS signals (AC- or DC-coupled) as small as 100 mV without any level-shifting or termination resistor networks in the signal path. For AC-coupled input interface applications, an on-board output reference voltage ( V_REFAC ) is provided to bias the VT pin. The outputs are 100K LVPECL compatible, with extremely fast rise/fall times guaranteed to 70 ps.
The SY58021U operates from a 2.5V ±5% supply or 3.3V ±10% supply and is guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). For applications that require faster rise/fall times, or greater bandwidth, consider the SY58022U 1:4 fanout buffer with 400 mV LVPECL output swing, or the SY58020U 1:4 CML fanout buffer. The SY58021U is part of Microchip's high-speed, Precision Edge® product line.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
| Pin Number | Pin Name Description | |
| 1, 4 IN, /IN | Differential Input: This input pair receives the signal to be buffered. Each pin of this pair internally terminates with 50Ω to the VT pin. Note that this input will default to an indeterminate state if left open. See the “Input Interface Applications” section. | |
| 2 | VT | Input Termination Center-Tap: Each input terminates to this pin. The VT pin provides a center-tap for each input (IN, /IN) to the termination network for maximum interface flexibility. See the “Input Interface Applications” section. |
| 3 VREF-AC | Reference Output Voltage: This output biases to V_CC - 1.2V . It is used when AC-coupling to differential inputs. Connect VREF-AC directly to the VT pin. Bypass with 0.01 μF low ESR capacitor to VCC. See the “Input Interface Applications” section. | |
| 8, 13 VCC | Positive Power Supply: Bypass with 0.1 μF//0.01 μF low-ESR capacitors as close to the VCC pins as possible. | |
| 5, 16 GND, ePAD | Ground. Exposed pad must be connected to a ground plane that is the same potential as the ground pin. | |
| 14, 15, 11, 12, 9, 10, 6, 7 | /Q0, Q0, /Q1, Q1, /Q2. Q2, /Q3, Q3 | LVPECL Differential Output Pairs: Differential buffered output copy of the input signal. The output swing is typically 800 mV Proper termination is 50Ω to V_CC - 2V at the receiving end. Unused output pairs may be left floating with no impact on jitter or skew. See the “LVPECL Output Termination” section. |

5.0 LVPECL OUTPUT
LVPECL outputs have very-low output impedance (open emitter) and small signal swing, which results in low EMI. LVPECL is ideal for driving 50Ω- and 100Ω-controlled impedance transmission lines. There are several techniques in terminating the LVPECL output (Figure 5-1 through Figure 5-3).
