GENERALDESCRIPTION
The ICS8516I is a low skew, high performance 1-to-16 Differential-to-LVDS Clock Distribution Chip and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The ICS8516I CLK, nCLK pair can accept any differential input levels and translates them to 3.3V LVDS output levels. Utilizing Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS), the ICS8516I provides a low power, low noise, point-to-point solution for distributing clock signals over controlled impedances of 100Ω.

FEATURES
• 16 Differential LVDS outputs
