ON Semiconductor Expands High Performance Clock Management Portfolio with Low Skew Fanout Buffers

ON Semiconductor has introduced three new highly accurate, low skew, 1:4 clock fanout buffers with CMOS outputs. The NB3N551, NB3L553, and NB3N2304NZ significantly outperform competitive devices. Used to create multiple copies of clocks at full system frequencies, the new devices are ideal for use in telecommunications, networking and automated test equipment (ATE).

New functions and increased performance levels offer better timing accuracy for high performance telecom, networking and ATE applications

The NB3N551 clock fanout buffer operates at up to 180 megahertz (MHz), and at VCC of 3.3 volts (V) or 5.0 V. The device provides an upgrade to the industry standard ICS551, with improved maximum output skew of 160 picoseconds (ps) versus 250 ps for existing products. Packaged in a lead free (Pb-free) SOIC-8 package or a space-saving (2.0 mm x 2.0 mm) DFN-8 package, the NB3N551 is budgetary priced at $0.80 USD per unit in 2,500 unit quantities.
