GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 8344 is a low voltage, low skew, 1-to-24 Differential-to-LVCMOS
Fanout Buffer. The 8344 is designed to translate any differential
signal levels to LVCMOS levels. The low impedance LVCMOS
outputs are designed to drive 50Ω series or parallel terminated
transmission lines. The effective fanout can be increased to 48
by utilizing the ability of the outputs to drive two series terminated
lines. Redundant clock applications can make use of the dual clock
input. The dual clock inputs also facilitate board level testing. 8344
is characterized at full 3.3V, full 2.5V and mixed 3.3V input and 2.5V
output operating supply modes.
Guaranteed output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the
8344 ideal for those clock distribution applications demanding well
defi ned performance and repeatability.
