PI6C180BVE

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PI6C180BVE is a precision 1-to-18 non-inverting clock buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. Designed for high-speed SDRAM applications, it supports frequencies up to 140 MHz with low skew of less than 250 ps between any two output clocks. The device operates on a single 3.3V power supply and features an I2C serial configuration interface for individual output enable/disable control. It includes multiple VDD and VSS pins for noise reduction and a separate Hi-Z pin for testing purposes.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as the datasheet indicates potential obsolescence or lifecycle changes. Confirm RoHS compliance and Pb-free/Green packaging specifications before procurement. Ensure the 48-pin SSOP package matches the target PCB footprint requirements.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a single input to drive up to 18 SDRAM outputs with minimal skew. Ensure the system can accommodate the 3.3V supply voltage and provides adequate decoupling for the multiple VDD/VSS pins. Verify that the I2C bus speed is compatible with the device's serial configuration requirements.
