iT4021D 20 Gb/s (12.5 Gb/s RZ) T-Type Flip-Flop
(Advanced Information)
Description
The iT4021D is a high-speed T-type flip-flop fabricated using 1µm HBT GaAs technology. The T flip-flop consists of a master-slave latch, closed-in feedback, and is designed using an ECL topology in order to guarantee high-speed operation. The data input may be either AC or DC coupled, the output is DC coupled. At the input side the internal 50-ohm resistors avoid the need for external terminations for impedance matching. The iT4021D uses SCFL I/O levels and is designed to allow for either single-ended or differential data input/output. An on-chip, output buffer produces an excellent eye diagram up to an output rate of 12.5 Gb/s rate (20 Gb/s NRZ or 12.5 Gb/s RZ input data rate) or 14 GHz input clock.
