ESCRIPTION
The ICS8308I is a low-skew, 1-to-8 Fanout Buffer
and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of
High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The
ICS8308I has two selectable clock inputs. The
CLK, nCLK pair can accept most differential input
levels. The LVCMOS_CLK can accept LVCMOS or LVTTL
input levels. The low impedance LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs
are designed to drive 50Ω series or parallel terminated
transmission lines. The effective fanout can be increased
from 8 to 16 by utilizing the ability of the outputs to drive two
series terminated transmission lines.
The ICS8308I is characterized for 3.3V core/3.3V output,
3.3V core/2.5V output or 2.5V core/2.5V output operation.
Guaranteed output and part-part skew characteristics make
the 8308I ideal for those clock distribution applications requiring
well defined performance and repeatability.
