Description
The SL2304NZ is a low skew, jitter and power fanout
Buffer designed to produce up to four (4) clock outputs
from one (1) reference input clock, for high speed clock
distribution, including PCI/PCI-X applications.
The SL2304NZ products operate from DC to 140MHz.

General Description
The SL2304NZ is a low skew, jitter and power fanout
Buffer designed to produce up to four (4) clock outputs
from one (1) reference input clock, for high speed clock
distribution, including PCI/PCI-X applications.
Output Clock Skew
All outputs should drive the similar load to achieve output-
to-output skew and input-to-output delay specifications as
given in the switching electrical tables.

The input and output frequency is the same (1x) for
SL2304NZ-1 and SL2304NZ-1Z and operates from DC
to 140MHz clock range with up to 25pF output load.
Input and output Frequency Range
Power Supply Range (VDD)
OE (Output Enable) Function
The SL2304NZ is designed to operate 3.3V+/-10% (3.63V-
max to 2.97V-min) VDD power supply range. An internal
on-chip voltage regulator is used to provide to constant
power supply of 1.8V, leading to a consistent and stable
electrical performance in terms of skew and jitter. The
SL2304NZ I/O is powered by using VDD.
Refer to SL23EP04NZ products for DC to 220MHz-max
frequency range, 2.5V to 3.3V power supply operation,
improved skew, jitter and higher drive options.
Contact SLI for 1.8V power supply Fan-Out Buffer and
ZDB products.
The only difference between SL2304-1 and SL2304NZ-
1Z is the OE logic implementation. When OE=0,
SL2404NZ-1 outputs are disabled and outputs are at
Logic Low. In the case of SL2304NZ-1Z the outputs are
at High-Z. Refer to the Available OE Logic Configuration
Table. 1 below.
