W163-05GT

Overview

The W163-05GT is a five-output zero delay buffer manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes an internal Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) to generate five copies of the reference input signal, ensuring outputs remain in phase with the source. The device features Spread Aware technology for compatibility with SSFTG signals and supports three-stating of outputs. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and provides extra strength output drive capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Five-output zero delay buffer with internal PLL feedback
• Spread Aware design compatible with SSFTG reference signals
• Three-stateable outputs for bus isolation
• Extra strength output drive available

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring low skew
• Systems utilizing Spread Spectrum Frequency Tuning Generation
• High-speed digital interface synchronization

Part Context

The W163 series belongs to Cypress's Zero Delay Buffer family, designed to eliminate clock skew by feeding back the output to the PLL input. This specific model offers five outputs in a compact 8-pin form factor, maximizing pin availability compared to standard buffers.
