IDT74FCT3807QI

The IDT74FCT3807QI is a high-performance Clock/Timing device and belongs to the Clock Buffers, Drivers family. It is basically a dual bus buffer intended for low-skew clock and data distribution applications.

The IDT74FCT3807QI has two major application fields, which are the clock division and clock distribution. In the clock division application, it can be used to divide an incoming clock signal by two and generate two outputs running at half the speed of the input. This is essential in many systems that have multiple devices that require relatively low time resolution but different clocking requirements.

In clock distribution applications, the device can be used to generate multiple copies of a reference clock and distribute it to different devices or parts of the system. The device can also be used to drive multiple clock outputs with different skew while maintaining a low-jitter output.

In terms of working principle, the IDT74FCT3807QI uses a high-speed CMOS flip-flop to capture and drive the clock signal. This high-speed configuration provides superior frequency response and low-skew output signals. The device also includes an internal high-speed differential line-driver, which ensures that the clock signals can be routed with minimal signal attenuation and skew.

The device itself is also equipped with a wide range of features, including clock skew and jitter control, power-saving options, and programmable timing control. The device is also highly configurable, making it easy to implement clock hierarchy designs without having to worry about the complexity of the underlying circuitry.

Overall, the IDT74FCT3807QI is a highly versatile Clock/Timing device and is a great choice for applications that require low-skew and low-jitter clock distribution. It also offers a wide range of features and configurations, and is capable of a variety of clock manipulation techniques.
