1:8 Universal Differential Fanout
Buffer
8T79S308
Datasheet
Description
The 8T79S308 is a fully integrated signal fanout buffer for
high-performance, low additive phase noise applications. The
main function of the device is the distribution and fanout of
high-frequency clocks or low-frequency synchronization signals.
The 8T79S308 is optimized to deliver very low phase noise clocks
and precise, low-skew outputs, low device-to-device skew
characteristics and fast output rise/fall times help the system
design to achieve deterministic clock phase relationship across
devices.
The device distributes the input signals (IN_0, IN_1) to two fanout
banks. A input select logic allows the device to operate as
1:8 buffer, dual 1:4 buffers, and to cross the input signals.
The propagation delay in both outputs banks is designed for equal
delay to support fixed phase relationships between both banks. All
outputs are very flexible in LVPECL/LVDS output style
configuration, output signal termination, and allow both DC and
AC coupling. Outputs can be individually disabled through a serial
interface.
The device is packaged in a lead-free (RoHS 6) 40-VFQFPN
package. The extended temperature range supports wireless
infrastructure, telecommunication, and networking end equipment
requirements. The 8T79S308 is a member of the
high-performance clock family from IDT.

8T79S308 Datasheet
Principles of Operation
Overview
The 8T79S308 is designed for low phase noise and skew critical differential clock distribution systems and supports clock frequencies
from 1PPS up to 3GHz. An input-to-output cross-connect, individually configurable LVPECL/LVDS outputs, amplitude settings and output
enable make this device very flexible. The power-up default output enable state can be set by an dedicated control input. An I
2
C interface
is available for individual output configurations. The signal voltage level of the I
2
C interface pins is configurable to 1.8V and 2.5V/3.3V
voltage supply. The configurable I
2
C slave address pins are available to allow up to eight devices on the same I
2
C bus.
Signal flow:
The device can be configured as single 1:8 or dual 1:4 buffer with selectable IN_0 and IN_1 inputs as signal source,
controlled by the XSEL[1:0] configuration input.
The
output style
state of each individual differential output Q, nQ can be set by the content the I
2
C register 0x10 (see
Table 10).
A logic
zero to an I
2
C bit in register 0x10 sets corresponding differential output to LVPECL, while a logic one sets the differential output to LVDS
(see
Table 11).
Register 0x10 resets to logic 0 (all outputs: LVPECL) at each power-up. Setting and changing the output style through the
I
2
C interface is asynchronous to the input reference clock.
The
output amplitude
of each individual differential output Q, nQ can be set by the content of the I
2
C registers 0x11–0x12 (see
Table 11).
For LVPECL outputs, the device supports amplitude settings of 500mV and 750mV; for LVDS outputs, 350mV and 500mV are
supported. Register 0x11-0x12 reset to logic 0 (LVPECL standard amplitude) at each power-up. Setting and changing the output style
through the I
2
C interface is asynchronous to the input reference clock. For LVPECL, the output termination has to be adjusted for the
selected amplitude.
The
output enable/disable state
of each individual differential output Q, nQ can be set by the content of I
2
C register 0x13
(see
Table 11).
A logic zero to an I
2
C bit in register 0x02 disables the corresponding differential output in high-impedance state, while a
logic one enables the differential output (see
Table 11).
After each power cycle, the device copies the state of the POD_OE input into all
eight bits (D7-0) of register 0x13 to: If pin POD_OE = 0 or open, the device powers up with all outputs disabled in high-impedance state,
if pin POD_OE=1, the device powers up with all outputs enabled. After the first valid I
2
C write, the output enable state is controlled by the
I
2
C register 0x13. Setting and changing the output enable state through the I
2
C interface is asynchronous to the input reference clock.
