Technical Specifications

While specific electrical characteristics vary, typical specifications for clock buffers in this category include:

• Operating Frequency Range: The range of clock frequencies that the buffer can handle (e.g., 0 MHz to 200 MHz).
• Output Skew: The difference in arrival time between clock signals on different output channels.
• Additive Jitter: The amount of jitter added to the clock signal by the buffer.
• Output Voltage Swing: The voltage range of the output clock signals.
• Power Supply Voltage: The voltage required to power the buffer (typically 3.3V).
