13 Gbps NRZ-to-RZ Converter, +3.3V Supply

The HMC706LC3C is a NRZ-to-RZ converter designed to support data transmission rates of up to 13 Gbps, and clock frequencies as high as 13 GHz. During normal operation, RZ data is transferred to the outputs on the positive edge of the clock. Reversing the clock inputs allows for negative-edge triggered applications. All input signals to the HMC706LC3C are terminated with 50 Ohms to Vcc on-chip, and may be either AC or DC coupled.

The differential outputs of the HMC706LC3C may be either AC or DC coupled. Outputs can be connected directly to a 50 Ohm Vcc terminated system, while DC blocking capacitors may be used if the terminating system is 50 Ohms to a non-Vcc DC voltage. The 50 Ohm termination resistors are bypassed on chip from Vcc to ground. The HMC706LC3C operates from a single +3.3V DC supply and is available in a ceramic RoHS compliant 3x3 mm SMT package.
