8305AGILF

Clock/Timing - Clock Buffers, Drivers is an important part of the integrated circuit market. 8305A/GILF is a well-known clock buffer/driver IC introduced by Digi International, a global vendor of embedded systems and components.

8305A/GILF is a high-performance, low-power input/output driver including driving capability to LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling). It assists in improving signal integrity, system clock frequency, noise immunity, and steady supply. This chip is placed between system-in and system-out so as to untwist, suppress the system clock jitter and maintain the desired clock quality for clock path.

8305A/GILF is available in both lead-free and standard leaded packages. It works with multiple voltage levels from 1.2 to 3.3V, and offers output clock frequency up to 160MHz. It supports a wide range of input and output formats, including SSTL, CMOS, LVPECL, LVDS and etc.

When it comes to working principle, 8305A/GILF is an input-output combinational switch IC. It utilizes flip-flopping and level-shifting combinations of buffers to create perfectly matched drivers and receivers with LVDS, SSTL and CMOS outputs. It comes with built-in clock doubler with adjustable output frequency and also supports synchronous PLLs. The integrated power circuit is also quite simple, wherein the chip’s internal voltage regulator links to the power-down input function, that helps reducing the power consumption to an adequate level.

8305A/GILF is one of the popular device used in data communications, telecommunications, medical and consumer electronics, industrial, computer and networking applications. It finds use in a broad range of products, from server and storage systems, baseband and transcoding systems, Ethernet and broadband networks and home entertainment systems.

In short, 8305A/GILF is an advanced IC that is known for its high-intensity amplifier for low-voltage signaling and clock distributions. Equipped with multiple input/output formats and improved voltage, it’s receiving increasingly widespread recognition for its features in multiple applications.
