The CY23S08SI-4 is an IC component manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation. It is a precision, low-voltage, and low-skew eight-output clock driver that is specifically designed to target applications requiring high-performance clock distribution. Below are the key features and an overview of the CY23S08SI-4:
1. Clock Distribution: The CY23S08SI-4 is primarily used for distributing high-frequency clocks to various destinations within a system. It takes in one input clock and provides eight separate outputs, making it suitable for driving multiple devices or subsystems.
2. Low Voltage: This IC operates at a low voltage level of 1.8V to 3.3V. It enables compatibility with a wide range of systems, including those with lower power requirements or operating at lower voltages.
3. Low Skew: The CY23S08SI-4 ensures precise and synchronized clock distribution by minimizing skew across all its output channels. The skew is the time delay difference between clock edges at various outputs. Low skew is crucial for maintaining accurate timing in critical applications, such as data transmission or synchronous circuitry.
4. Output Configuration: All eight outputs of the CY23S08SI-4 are configurable, offering flexibility in designing clock distribution layouts. The outputs can be individually configured for differential or single-ended signaling, making it suitable for diverse system requirements.
5. Output Enable: The IC features eight individual output enable pins, allowing independent control over each output
