8SLVD1208NBGI/W

Clock/Timing - Clock Buffers, Drivers

The 8SLVD1208NBGI/W is a specific type of clock buffer and driver. It is a low voltage, low skew, zero delay, universal clock buffer that is designed to improve signal integrity in clock distribution applications. It has a VLSI output that is designed to operate at 3.3 V and 5 V voltage levels, making it ideal for use in applications requiring low voltage and low power solutions, such as those found in portable electronic devices.

In a clock distribution application, the 8SLVD1208NBGI/W works by receiving a clock signal from an input source (such as a crystal oscillator), converting it to a single-ended signal, and then routing it through multiple copies of the same signal to drive circuit lines in multiple devices. This assures that all devices are operating in synchronization, and prevents problems related to timing skew commonly found in many distributed timing circuits. The 8SLVD1208NBGI/W also features two selectable outputs, which allow the user to select either a rising edge or falling edge clock signal to ensure proper timing alignment.

In addition to being used in clock distribution applications, the 8SLVD1208NBGI/W can also be used in high speed serial communications, such as Serial ATA or RapidIO. It can also be used in USB 2.0 and Firewire interfaces, as well as in CDMA/GSM wireless applications. Finally, the 8SLVD1208NBGI/W can be used in digital signal processing systems, such as those found in HDTV systems.

The 8SLVD1208NBGI/W operates on a 3.3 V voltage level, making it ideal for use in low voltage systems. It is also designed to be interoperable with a variety of clock signal standards, including LVDS, LVPECL, and SSTL. This allows the user to select the best clock specific interface signal standard for their application.

The 8SLVD1208NBGI/W features a wide input frequency range from DC to 150 MHz, making it suitable for use in applications where a maximum frequency is not desired. It also features an integrated phase-track-hold (PTH) circuit which reduces jitter and skews in the distributed signals, resulting in improved timing accuracy for all synchronized devices. In addition, the 8SLVD1208NBGI/W has an integrated programmable output delay, which allows the user to program the output signal to match the specific requirements of their application.

The 8SLVD1208NBGI/W is designed to be used in complex application environments and is capable of operating with a broad range of input signal standards and speeds. Its low power and low voltage design makes it ideal for embedded systems, where power and space are limited. Its high speed and flexibility make it ideal for a variety of clock distribution applications, and serial communications.
