Product details
Overview
CY2304NZZXC-1T from Cypress Semiconductor is a 3.3 V, four-output clock buffer optimized for PCI-X and general-purpose timing distribution. It supports DC–140 MHz input frequencies, delivers ≤60 ps typical output-to-output skew, and operates across 0 °C to 70 °C commercial temperature range in an 8-pin TSSOP package - deployed in server motherboard clock trees and peripheral interface timing subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the CY2304NZZXC-1T datasheet, CY2304NZZXC-1T pinout, CY2304NZZXC-1T application, or CY2304NZZXC-1T equivalent, key selection criteria include output skew budget, 3.3 V supply compatibility, industrial-grade thermal resistance (θJA = 165 °C/W), OE-controlled output enable functionality, and TSSOP-8 footprint constraints for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY2304NZZXC-1T implements a single-input, four-output fanout architecture with active-HIGH output enable (OE) control and CMOS-compatible input threshold (VDD/2). All outputs are internally matched for low skew and driven with rail-to-rail swing under 24 mA load.
It is characterized over 1–140 MHz at 3.0–3.6 V supply and 0–70 °C ambient, with propagation delay (2.5–5 ns) and rise/fall times (≤1.5 ns) guaranteed by design and characterization - not 100% production tested per unit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - ensures compatibility with standard 3.3 V logic rails and tolerance to board-level voltage ripple |
| Input Frequency Range | DC to 140 MHz - supports PCI-X 133 MHz, PCIe reference clocks, and legacy parallel bus timing |
| Output-to-Output Skew | 60 ps typical / 100 ps max - enables synchronous sampling across multiple downstream devices without added deskew circuitry |
| Propagation Delay | 2.5–5 ns - defines worst-case timing margin between input edge and earliest output edge |
| Load Capacitance | 25 pF - specifies maximum trace + IC input capacitance per output before signal integrity degradation |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to 70 °C - validated for commercial-grade computing and peripheral applications, not extended industrial use |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TSSOP (4.40 mm body width), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: BUF_IN | Clock input | Single-ended CMOS input with VDD/2 threshold; accepts DC–140 MHz signals |
| 2: OE | Output enable | Active-HIGH control; drives all four outputs to high-impedance when LOW |
| 3: OUTPUT1 | Buffered clock output | CMOS output capable of driving 24 mA sink/source into 25 pF load |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-inductance connection |
| 5: OUTPUT4 | Buffered clock output | Electrically identical to OUTPUT1–3; matched routing critical for skew control |
| 6: VDD | Power supply | 3.3 V supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 7: OUTPUT3 | Buffered clock output | One of four synchronized outputs; pin position minimizes trace length asymmetry |
| 8: OUTPUT2 | Buffered clock output | Final output in pinout sequence; layout symmetry with OUTPUT1 reduces inter-output skew |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four matched CMOS outputs | Enables simultaneous clocking of multiple ASICs/FPGAs without external fanout or buffering |
| 60 ps typical output skew | Reduces timing uncertainty across memory controllers, I/O bridges, and PCI-X peripherals |
| OE-controlled three-state outputs | Allows dynamic clock gating during system sleep or configuration phases without external logic |
| 140 MHz max frequency support | Covers PCI-X 133 MHz (133.33 MHz) with margin for jitter and PVT variation |
| 3.3 V single-supply operation | Eliminates need for level-shifting or dual supplies in legacy 3.3 V system designs |
Applications

Use Value: TSSOP-8 footprint and matched internal paths meet tight skew requirements without requiring custom silicon solutions. |
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 | 5 V supply only; 100 MHz max frequency; 150 ps max skew | Not suitable for 3.3 V systems or >100 MHz PCI-X; requires level translation | Select only if legacy 5 V infrastructure and lower-frequency operation are fixed constraints |
| ON Semi NB3N3010BDR2G | 3.3 V supply; 133 MHz max; 75 ps max skew; integrated termination resistors | Better for point-to-point DDR clocking but lacks OE control and has higher skew than CY2304NZZXC-1T | Prefer when board space is limited and termination integration offsets need for external resistors |
Compared with IDT 5V2310APG and ON Semi NB3N3010BDR2G, the CY2304NZZXC-1T offers superior skew performance (60 ps typ) and native 3.3 V compatibility - making it optimal for PCI-X 133 MHz fanout where timing margin and supply simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of CY2304NZZXC-1T?
The CY2304NZZXC-1T operates reliably down to 3.0 V per its specified operating conditions. Below this voltage, propagation delay increases, output drive strength degrades, and input threshold (VDD/2) shifts - potentially causing metastability or failure to meet 140 MHz timing. Designers must ensure power rail regulation stays within 3.0–3.6 V across all load and temperature conditions.
Does CY2304NZZXC-1T support spread-spectrum clocking (SSC)?
No, the CY2304NZZXC-1T does not support spread-spectrum clocking. Its internal buffer architecture provides fixed-phase, low-jitter fanout without modulation capability. For SSC applications, designers must apply spread-spectrum input externally - though doing so introduces deterministic phase variation that may exceed skew budgets in tightly synchronized systems.
Can OE be left unconnected or tied to VDD permanently?
No - OE must be actively driven HIGH or LOW. Leaving OE floating risks indeterminate output states due to noise coupling, potentially causing bus contention or unintended clock pulses. If always-enabled operation is required, OE should be hard-wired to VDD via a short trace; if dynamic control is unnecessary, a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to VDD is acceptable for robustness against ESD transients.
Is thermal derating required for continuous operation at 85 °C ambient?
Yes - although the CY2304NZZXC-1T is rated for 0–70 °C commercial operation, junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C. At 85 °C ambient, even with θJA = 165 °C/W, power dissipation must stay below 40 mW (calculated as (150–85)/165). This limits usable frequency/load combinations; full-speed operation at elevated ambient requires enhanced PCB copper pour or forced airflow.
