The MPC9446 is a 2.5 V and 3.3 V compatible 1:10 clock distribution buffer designed

for low-voltage mid-range to high-performance telecom, networking and computing

applications. Both 3.3 V, 2.5 V and dual supply voltages are supported for mixed-voltage

applications. The MPC9446 offers 10 low-skew outputs and 2 selectable inputs for clock

redundancy. The outputs are configurable and support 1:1 and 1:2 output to input

frequency ratios. The MPC9446 is specified for the extended temperature range of –40

C

to 85

C.

Functional Description

The MPC9446 is a full static fanout buffer design supporting clock frequencies up to 250

MHz. The signals are generated and retimed on-chip to ensure minimal skew between the three output banks. Two independent LVCMOS

compatible clock inputs are available. This feature supports redundant clock sources or the addition of a test clock into the system design.

Each of the three output banks can be individually supplied by 2.5 V or 3.3 V supporting mixed voltage applications. The FSELx pins

choose between division of the input reference frequency by one or two. The frequency divider can be set individually for each of the three

output banks. The MPC9446 can be reset and the outputs are disabled by deasserting the MR/OE pin (logic high state). Asserting MR/

OE will enable the outputs.

All inputs accept LVCMOS signals while the outputs provide LVCMOS compatible levels with the capability to drive terminated 50



transmission lines. Please consult the MPC9456 specification for a 1:10 mixed voltage buffer with LVPECL compatible inputs. For series

terminated transmission lines, each of the MPC9446 outputs can drive one or two traces giving the devices an effective fanout of 1:20.

The device is packaged in a 7x7 mm2 32-lead LQFP package.
