How does the CLC001 compare to the CLC005?
The CLC001 and CLC005 are high-speed cable drivers with adjustable outputs. There are several differences to note between the two devices. First, the CLC001 is a 3.3V device, while the CLC005 is a 5V device. The CLC005 was designed using a complementary bipolar process, whereas the CLC001 is implemented in a CMOS process. From a switching performance standpoint, the major difference between these two parts is seen at rates of 400 Mbps and above. Both devices are available in an 8-lead SOIC (SOP) package but have different pinouts. The CLC001 has faster edge rates than the CLC005 to further enhance signal quality at high data rates. Rise and fall times are typically 400 ps for the CLC001, while they are 650 ps for the CLC005. The outputs of the CLC001 and CLC005 are similar at low data rates (311 Mbps and below). At higher data rates (400Mbps and above) the difference in the quality of the outputs becomes noticeable. The CLC005 has higher output jitter in this range, which typically lim
