PI6C2308A
3.3V Zero-Delay Buffer
ProductFeatures
FunctionalDescription
• 10 MHz to 140 MHz operating range
• Zero input-output propagation delay, adjustable by
capacitive load on FBK input
• Multipleconfigurations, seeAvailablePI6C2308A

Providingtwobanksof fouroutputs,thePI6C2308Aisa 3.3Vzero-
delay buffer designed to distribute clock signals in applications
includingPC,workstation,datacom,telecom,andhigh-performance
systems. Each bank of four outputs can be controlled by the select
inputs as shown in the Select Input Decoding Table.
The PI6C2308A provides 8 copies of a clock signal that has 150ps
phase error compared to a reference clock. The skew between the
output clock signals for PI6C2308Ais less than 200ps. When there

PI6C2308A configuration table shows all available devices.
• Input to output delay, less than 150ps
• Multiple low skew outputs
- Output-output skew less than 200ps
- Device-device skew less than 500ps
- Two banks of four outputs, Hi-Z by two select inputs
• Low Jitter, less than 200ps
• 3.3Voperation
The base part, PI6C2308A-1, provides output clocks in sync with
areferenceclock. Withfasterriseandfalltimes,thePI6C2308A-1H
isthehigh-driveversionofthePI6C2308A-1.Dependingonwhich
output drives the feedback pin, PI6C2308A-2 provides 2X and 1X
clocksignalsoneachoutputbank.ThePI6C2308A-3allowstheuser
to obtain 4X and 2X frequencies on the outputs. The PI6C2308A-4
provides 2X clock signals on all outputs. PI6C2308A (-1, -2, -3, -4)

B is connected to feedback FBK. For testing purposes, the select
inputs connect the input clock directly to outputs.
