CMOS clock buffers deliver low jitter, low skew and low power operation

Diodes Incorporated has introduced its new family of automotive-compliant clock buffers, designed for low power operation in ambient temperatures of up to 105C, as found in ADAS, infotainment applications, and automotive gateways.

Implemented employing a low-power CMOS process, the clock buffer family functions from an input voltage of between 1.5V and 3.3V. All clock inputs are aligned and synchronised, which maintains low skew, and the CMOS design introduces minimal phase noise, providing very low additive jitter.

The family comprises the PI6C49CB01Q (one differential input, one single-ended output), PI6C49CB02Q (one single-ended input, two single-ended outputs), and PI6C49CB04xQ (one single-ended input, four single-ended outputs). All inputs and outputs are compatible with LVCMOS/LVTTL signal levels. The parts are qualified to AECQ-100 with full PPAP support, and they are produced in IATF16949 certified facilities.
