The ICS844004BGI-01LF is a high-performance, low-skew, 1-to-4 LVCMOS/LVTTL Fanout Buffer from Renesas (formerly IDT). It's designed to distribute clock signals with minimal signal degradation and skew, making it ideal for demanding clock distribution applications in networking, communications, and computing systems. This buffer ensures signal integrity and preserves timing accuracy across multiple outputs.

Applications:

• Clock distribution in networking equipment (routers, switches, servers)
• Backplane clock distribution
• High-speed data communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• General-purpose clock buffering

Features:

• 1-to-4 LVCMOS/LVTTL fanout buffer

• Operating frequency up to 200 MHz
• Low additive jitter
• 3.3V power supply
• Available in a space-saving TSSOP package
• RoHS compliant

Benefits:

• Improved system performance due to reduced clock skew
• Enhanced signal integrity in high-speed applications
• Simplified clock distribution design
• Cost-effective solution for clock buffering
• Reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Additional Details:

The ICS844004BGI-01LF operates from a 3.3V power supply. The low skew characteristic ensures that clock signals arrive at different destinations at virtually the same time, which is critical for synchronous systems. The device is available in a small-footprint TSSOP package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. This buffer is designed to drive terminated transmission lines effectively, minimizing reflections and signal distortion. The operating temperature range and detailed electrical characteristics can be found in the device datasheet. The low additive jitter contributes to a cleaner clock signal, further improving system performance.
