Product details
Overview
CY2304NZZXC-1 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 3.3 V, four-output clock buffer optimized for PCI-X and general-purpose timing distribution. It supports DC to 140 MHz input frequencies, delivers ≤100 ps output-to-output skew, and operates across 0 °C to 70 °C. Used in server motherboard clock trees to fan out system clocks to multiple PCI-X slots.
For engineers reviewing the CY2304NZZXC-1 datasheet, CY2304NZZXC-1 pinout, CY2304NZZXC-1 application, or CY2304NZZXC-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include output skew tolerance, industrial-grade thermal resistance (θJA = 165 °C/W), OE-controlled output enable functionality, and TSSOP-8 footprint compatibility with legacy PCI-X reference designs.
Technical Context
The CY2304NZZXC-1 implements a single-input, four-output CMOS buffer architecture with active-HIGH output enable (OE) control. All outputs are internally matched for low skew, and propagation delay is specified at 2.5–5 ns (BUF_IN rising edge to OUTPUT rising edge).
It uses a rail-to-rail output stage compatible with 3.3 V LVTTL logic levels, supports up to 24 mA sink/source per output, and maintains stable duty cycle (40–60%) across its full 1–140 MHz operating range under 25 pF load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - ensures compatibility with standard 3.3 V PCI-X power rails and noise margin compliance |
| Max Operating Frequency | 140 MHz - supports full-speed PCI-X 133 MHz operation with headroom for margin |
| Output-to-Output Skew | 60 ps typical / 100 ps max - enables synchronous sampling across four downstream devices without added deskew circuitry |
| Propagation Delay | 2.5–5 ns - defines worst-case timing budget between input clock arrival and first valid output edge |
| Input Threshold | VDD/2 - guarantees robust switching with standard CMOS-compatible clock sources |
| Load Capacitance | 25 pF - matches typical trace + IC input capacitance on dense server PCBs |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to 70 °C - qualified for commercial-grade computing environments including desktop and entry-level server applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TSSOP (4.40 mm body width), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: BUF_IN | Primary clock input | Accepts single-ended CMOS/LVTTL clock source; threshold at VDD/2 for reliable edge detection |
| 2: OE | Output enable control | Active-HIGH signal; drives all four outputs to high-impedance when LOW, enabling dynamic clock gating |
| 3: OUTPUT1 | Buffered clock output | One of four identical fanout outputs; electrically matched to minimize inter-output timing variation |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 5: OUTPUT4 | Buffered clock output | Fourth output in pin-sorted sequence; shares same electrical characteristics and skew profile as OUTPUT1–3 |
| 6: VDD | Power supply | 3.3 V supply input; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 7: OUTPUT3 | Buffered clock output | Third output; positioned to reduce crosstalk in TSSOP layout; same drive strength (24 mA) as other outputs |
| 8: OUTPUT2 | Buffered clock output | Second output; completes 4-output set; pinout order optimized for sequential routing on compact motherboard layers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four matched outputs | Guarantees ≤100 ps skew across all outputs under matched 25 pF loads, eliminating need for external delay tuning |
| OE-controlled tri-state | Allows dynamic clock shutdown without changing upstream source; reduces system-level EMI during idle states |
| DC to 140 MHz bandwidth | Supports both low-frequency reference clocks and high-speed PCI-X 133 MHz signals in same device |
| 3.3 V LVTTL compatibility | Meets VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V thresholds, ensuring interoperability with standard FPGA and ASIC clock inputs |
| TSSOP-8 footprint | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 8-pin clock buffers while maintaining thermal performance (θJA = 165 °C/W) |
Applications
| PCI-X Slot Clock Distribution | Desktop CPU Front-Side Bus Fanout |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Distributing 133 MHz PCI-X reference clock from southbridge to four peripheral slots on a server motherboard.

Use Value: Eliminates timing violations caused by trace-length mismatch; enables independent slot power-down via OE control. | Use Scenario: Fanning out 200 MHz FSB clock from northbridge to memory controller, graphics interface, and I/O hub on a desktop platform. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose clock repeater ensuring simultaneous clock arrival across asynchronous subsystems. Use Value: Maintains <60 ps typical output skew, preserving setup/hold margins across critical high-speed interfaces. |
| Industrial Control Backplane Timing | Legacy PCI Add-in Card Synchronization |
Use Scenario: Driving synchronized clocks to four isolated CAN or RS-485 transceivers on an industrial backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-jitter clock distributor enabling deterministic communication timing across distributed nodes. Use Value: 140 MHz bandwidth and 25 pF load capability support multi-protocol timing without additional level-shifting. | Use Scenario: Replacing aging clock buffers on PCI add-in cards requiring precise 33/66 MHz clock replication. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pin-compatible upgrade for obsolete 3.3 V clock drivers with improved skew and thermal specs. Use Value: Commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 70 °C) and TSSOP-8 package allow direct board-level replacement without layout changes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT 5V2310APG | 10-pin SOIC; 3.3 V; 5-output; 50 ps typical skew; no OE pin | Lacks output enable; higher pin count increases PCB area and routing complexity | Select when higher output count is required and OE control is unnecessary |
| ON Semi NB3N502MNR2G | 8-pin SOIC; 3.3 V; 4-output; 150 ps max skew; OE pin present | Higher skew spec limits use in >100 MHz PCI-X; SOIC footprint differs from TSSOP | Select for cost-sensitive commercial designs where 150 ps skew is acceptable |
Compared with IDT 5V2310APG and ON Semi NB3N502MNR2G, the CY2304NZZXC-1 uniquely balances TSSOP-8 compactness, 100 ps skew guarantee, and OE functionality-making it optimal for space-constrained, dynamically gated PCI-X clock trees.

FAQ
What is the maximum load capacitance supported by CY2304NZZXC-1?
The device is characterized for 25 pF total load capacitance per output, including PCB trace and downstream input capacitance. Exceeding this value may increase rise/fall times beyond the 1.5 ns max specification and degrade skew performance due to unequal loading across outputs.
Does CY2304NZZXC-1 require external termination resistors?
No external termination is required. The output drivers are designed for direct connection to LVTTL inputs with 25 pF load. Series termination is not needed unless driving long traces (>10 cm) where impedance matching becomes critical for signal integrity.
Can CY2304NZZXC-1 operate with a 2.5 V supply?
No. The device is specified only for 3.0–3.6 V operation. Using 2.5 V violates the Absolute Maximum Rating for VDD and will result in undefined logic behavior, increased propagation delay, and potential failure to meet 140 MHz frequency requirements.
Is the OE pin 5 V tolerant?
No. The OE pin is not 5 V tolerant. Its absolute maximum input voltage is VDD + 0.5 V (≤4.1 V). Applying 5 V to OE risks permanent damage to the input protection structure and may cause latch-up under sustained overvoltage conditions.
