W152-1G

Overview

The W152-1G 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 time-varying input signal, ensuring outputs remain in phase with the reference via external feedback. The device supports Spread Aware technology for SSFTG signals and includes internal dividers for frequency multiplication options such as /2, x2, or x4. Outputs are organized into two banks of four, allowing mixed configuration. The component features three-state output capability and is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Eight-output zero delay buffer with PLL-based synchronization
• Spread Aware design compatible with SSFTG reference signals
• Internal frequency division/multiplication options (/2, x2, x4)
• Two independent output banks of four channels each

Applications

• Clock distribution in high-speed digital systems
• Signal buffering for spread spectrum clocking applications
• Multi-point clock synchronization networks

Part Context

The W152 series belongs to Cypress's family of Spread Aware zero delay buffers. These components are designed to mitigate jitter accumulation while distributing clock signals across multiple loads. The W152 specifically provides eight outputs, distinguishing it from variants like the W132 which offers ten or eleven outputs.
