The ICS8535AG-21LFT is a high-performance, low-skew, zero delay clock buffer from IDT (Integrated Device Technology). This device is designed to distribute clock signals with minimal additive jitter and skew, making it suitable for demanding applications requiring precise timing. It features a fanout of multiple outputs, allowing it to drive numerous devices simultaneously.

Applications

• High-speed data communication systems
• Networking equipment (routers, switches)
• Server and storage systems
• Clock distribution networks in complex digital systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Features

• Zero delay buffer: Ensures minimal delay between input and output clocks.
• Low additive jitter: Maintains signal integrity in high-speed applications.
• High fanout: Drives multiple loads without signal degradation.
• Operating frequency up to 350 MHz
• Output Enable (OE) control: Allows for disabling outputs for power saving or testing.
• 3.3V power supply operation: Compatible with standard logic levels.
• Differential input and output: Supports differential clock signals for improved noise immunity.
• Available in a space-saving package

Benefits

• Improved system performance due to reduced clock skew and jitter.
• Simplified clock distribution design with high fanout capability.
• Enhanced signal integrity in noisy environments with differential signaling.
• Lower power consumption with output enable control.
