Propagation Delay

The converter requires two clock rising edges for data to be

represented at the output. Each rising edge of the clock

captures the present data word and outputs the previous

data. The propagation delay is therefore 1/CLK, plus <2ns of

processing. See Figure 15.

Test Service

Intersil offers customer-specific testing of CommLink

converters with a service called Testdrive. To submit a

request, fill out the Testdrive form. The form can be found by

doing an ‘entire site search’ at www.intersil.com on the
