DS92CK16TMTCX

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The DS92CK16TMTCX is a 3.3V BLVDS (Bus Low Voltage Differential Signaling) clock buffer and bus transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It functions as a 1-to-6 fanout buffer, distributing a single differential input signal to six independent outputs. The device supports high-speed clock distribution with low skew characteristics suitable for synchronous digital systems. It operates within a specified temperature range and utilizes a small form-factor package to minimize board space while maintaining signal integrity in high-frequency applications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Single-ended or differential input compatible with LVDS, CML, or HCSL sources
• Six low-power BLVDS outputs with controlled slew rates
• Low propagation delay and output-to-output skew
• 3.3V single-supply operation

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure clock distribution
• Industrial automation control units
• Test and measurement equipment

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the DS92CK16 family of clock buffers. The 'TMTC' suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration (TSSOP-24), while 'X' typically denotes the reel quantity or variant specific to manufacturing runs. It is a successor to National Semiconductor designs acquired by TI, retaining pin compatibility with legacy parts like the DS92CK16.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the DS92CK16 and DS92CK16NOPB. Other manufacturers offering similar 1:6 BLVDS buffers include Pericom (PI90LVB16) and Integrated Device Technology (MPC905). Verify voltage levels and output drive strength when substituting.
