CY2308SC-3T

Product Overview

CY2308SC-3T from Cypress Semiconductor Corp is a zero delay buffer integrated circuit for clock signal distribution. The device accepts clock inputs and provides clock outputs with a 2:4 input-to-output ratio, while using single-ended signal interfaces. It is supplied in a surface-mount 16-SOIC package and operates from a 3V to 3.6V supply, with a specified ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. This configuration supports clock fan-out tasks in digital systems that require buffered timing signals.

Key Features

• Type: zero delay buffer with clock input and clock output.
• Input-to-output ratio: 2:4, enabling clock inputs to drive multiple downstream clock paths.
• Signal interface: non-differential input and non-differential output.
• Supply voltage: 3V to 3.6V.
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C ambient.
• Package and mounting: surface-mount 16-SOIC (0.154 in, 3.90 mm width).

Applications

• Clock fan-out in synchronous digital control boards where timing sources must reach several logic devices.
• Buffering of a system clock before distribution to multiple logic devices in embedded digital systems.
• Timing signal distribution in data acquisition or communication modules operating within the specified ambient temperature range.

Design & Procurement Notes

Designers should verify that the board clock architecture matches the 2:4 input-to-output ratio and that the selected clock signals are single-ended rather than differential. The 3V to 3.6V supply range and 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature range should be checked against the target system power and thermal conditions. The surface-mount 16-SOIC package should also be considered during layout and assembly planning.
