Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete status of this component before procurement planning. Confirm that the ordering suffix 'M' corresponds to the 8-lead SOIC package as specified in the datasheet. Ensure design timelines account for potential discontinuation or availability constraints associated with legacy National Semiconductor products now managed by Texas Instruments.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when low skew performance is critical for multi-output clock distribution. Verify that the system operates within the recommended 3.0V to 3.6V supply range. Ensure the load capacitance does not exceed 50 pF to maintain the specified propagation delay and skew parameters. Consider the 12 mA drive strength against the specific fan-out requirements of the downstream logic.
