| A backplane is the common method of communication
between circuit boards. It allows the transfer of information between
multiple boards. These boards share a common electrical interface
between them, and also have an agreed protocol on the procedure of
transferring information. |

Clock
devices in High-Speed Backplane Applications |
To
address the need for higher speed and bandwidth, Fiber Channel
(FC1) Gigabit Ethernet is used and multiple channels can be
aggregated to achieve yet higher speeds. FC1 uses 106.25 MHz
frequency source, and Gigabit Ethernet normally uses 125 MHz. PI6CV304 is
ideal for this application because it provides 4 channels of
high frequency, low jitter, ion skew outputs or 49FCT387D with
I/O channels.

| The Pericom Advantage - Key Features
of the PI6CV304 Clock Family |
|
- Low-Voltage, 3.3V Power Supply
- 5V Tolerant Input
- No internal PLL: Very low jitter.
- Less than 35ps peak-to-peak jitter
- Ideal for Fiber Channel (106.25 MHz FC1), Gigabit
Ethernet (125 MHz).
- Small Footprint and Thin Package
