GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 8344I is a low voltage, low skew fanout buffer and a member
of the family of High Performance Clock Solutions from IDT. The
8344I has two selectable clock inputs. The CLK0, nCLK0 and CLK1,
nCLK1 pairs can accept most standard differential input levels.
The 8344I is designed to translate any differential signal levels
to LVCMOS/LVTTL levels. The low impedance LVCMOS/LVTTL
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. 8344I
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
8344I ideal for those clock distribution applications demanding well
defi ned performance and repeatability.
