REV. P1.0.1
LOW-COST 3.3V ZERO DELAY BUFFER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Offered in both 16 pin SOIC and TSSOP packages,
XRK32309 is a low cost 3.3V zero delay buffer. It is
designed to distribute high speed clocks by taking
one reference input and driving nine output clocks.
The feedback of its on-chip PLL is internally
connected to the FB output. XRK32309 devices
operate over 10-100 MHz frequency range with 30 pF
loads and up to 120MHz with lower loads (10 pF).
The -1H version has higher drive strength than the
base -1 version, featuring faster rise and fall time.
The XRK32309 has two banks each with four
outputs. These outputs are controlled by two select
input lines according to the Table 2, “Select Input
are needed, bank B can be tri-stated. The select
lines also enable putting the device in a bypass mode
where the input is directly applied to the outputs. This
feature is useful for chip and testing purposes.
Some applications may require distributing the clock
to several destinations. In such situations, multiple
XRK32309 devices can be connected to accept the
same input clock and generate several clock signals.

In this case, the skew between the outputs of two
devices is guaranteed to be less than 700 ps.
