CY2DP818ZCT

Overview

The CY2DP818ZCT is a low skew clock driver from Cypress Semiconductor Corp, belonging to the 2DP series. It functions as a fanout buffer with one circuit and differential input/output capabilities. The device accepts LVDS, LVPECL, or LVTTL inputs and provides LVPECL outputs. It supports a maximum frequency of 350 MHz and operates on a supply voltage of 3.135V to 3.465V. Designed for surface mount installation, it is housed in a 38-TSSOP package (0.173" width) and functions within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Low skew clock driver with differential input/output
• Supports LVDS, LVPECL, and LVTTL input signals
• Maximum operating frequency of 350 MHz
• Housed in a 38-TSSOP surface-mount package

Applications

• High-speed data communication systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring low skew
• Industrial control equipment timing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ZCT against official Cypress documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging versus bulk supply, as local data lists both. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors before placing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when LVDS, LVPECL, or LVTTL inputs must be converted to LVPECL outputs with minimal skew. Ensure the system power supply remains within the 3.135V to 3.465V range. Verify that the 38-TSSOP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2DP series of low skew clock drivers manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. These devices are designed for high-performance clock distribution applications where signal integrity and precise timing are critical requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cypress cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may not match the specific low skew characteristics or input/output voltage levels required for this application.
