CY29948

The CY29948 is a low-voltage 200-MHz clock distribution buffer with the capability to select either a differential LVPECL or a LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible input clock. The two clock sources can be used to provide for a test clock as well as the primary system clock. All other control inputs are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible. The 12 outputs are LVCMOS or LVTTL compatible and can drive 50 series or parallel terminated transmission lines. For series terminated transmission lines, each output can drive one or two traces giving the device an effective fanout of 1:24. The outputs can also be three-stated via the three-state input TS#. Low output-to-output skews make the CY29948 an ideal clock distribution buffer for nested clock trees in the most demanding of synchronous systems.

The CY29948 also provides a synchronous output enable input for enabling or disabling the output clocks. Since this input is internally synchronized to the input clock, potential output glitching or runt pulse generation is eliminated.
