W163-15GT

Overview

The W163-15GT 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 includes three-statable outputs. Designed for high-speed clock distribution, it offers extra strength output drive capabilities within an 8-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Five-output zero delay buffer with internal PLL feedback
• Spread Aware design compatible with SSFTG reference signals
• Three-statable outputs for flexible bus configurations
• Extra strength output drive (-15 version)
• Compact 8-pin SOIC package

Applications

• High-speed clock distribution networks
• System synchronization requiring zero skew
• SSFTG signal processing applications

Part Context

The W163 belongs to Cypress's family of zero delay buffers designed for precise clock management. These components are engineered to minimize jitter and skew in digital systems by locking output phases directly to the reference input.
