W152-11X

Overview

The W152-11X is an eight-output zero-delay buffer manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) to generate eight copies of a reference input signal, with external feedback ensuring outputs remain in phase with the source. The device features Spread Aware technology for compatibility with SSFTG signals and includes internal dividers to provide frequency multiplication options such as /2, x2, or x4. Designed for high-speed clock distribution, it offers configurable output banks and three-state control within a compact package.

Feature Summary

• Eight-output zero-delay buffer with PLL-based synchronization
• Spread Aware design compatible with SSFTG reference signals
• Internal frequency dividers supporting /2, x2, and x4 multiplication
• Outputs separated into two independent banks for flexible configuration

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring low skew
• Systems utilizing Spread Spectrum Frequency Tuning Generation (SSFTG)
• High-speed digital interfaces needing synchronized multi-phase clocks

Part Context

The W152 series belongs to Cypress's family of Spread Aware zero-delay buffers. These components are engineered to distribute clock signals with minimal latency while maintaining phase alignment with the input reference. The specific -11 suffix typically denotes enhanced output drive strength capabilities compared to standard variants, suitable for driving heavier loads across multiple outputs.
