Pericom Saronix-eCera | PI6CV304LEX

A clock buffer is a circuit element used to increase the current or drive of a weak clock signal and consequently increase its fanout.

Clock Buffers are found in computing, networking, and communication applications.

Pericom’s PI6CV304 is a low-skew, low- noise, highspeed clock buffers and is ideal for computing, networking, and communication applications. Application examples include PCI(X) clock buffers in servers and workstations, PCI(X) Storage Area Network (SAN), and RAID controllers. They are used for networking and communications applications requiring 80 MHz for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and 125 MHz for Gigabit networking clocks.

To reduce EMI emission and power consumption, all outputs can be disabled to 3-state by asserting a low signal to the OE (Output Enable) pin. PI6CV304 output impedance is 20-ohms.
