Product details
Overview
CY2304NZZXI-1 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 3.3 V, 4-output clock buffer optimized for PCI-X and general-purpose clock distribution, supporting frequencies from DC to 140 MHz, with ≤60 ps typical output-to-output skew and 8-pin TSSOP packaging for industrial applications including server backplanes and embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY2304NZZXI-1 datasheet, CY2304NZZXI-1 pinout, CY2304NZZXI-1 application, or CY2304NZZXI-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C), output skew performance, OE-controlled enable functionality, and compatibility with 3.3 V logic and 25 pF load capacitance.
Technical Context
The CY2304NZZXI-1 implements a single-input, four-output fanout architecture with active-HIGH output enable (OE) and CMOS-compatible input threshold at VDD/2. It delivers deterministic timing behavior across its full 1–140 MHz operating range under industrial conditions.
All outputs are internally matched for low skew (<100 ps max, 60 ps typ), with propagation delay of 2.5–5 ns (BUF_IN rising edge to OUTPUT rising edge) and rise/fall times ≤1.5 ns, ensuring signal integrity in synchronous bus interfaces such as PCI-X and parallel control buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - supports standard 3.3 V rail with ±10% tolerance for robust industrial operation |
| Operating Frequency | DC to 140 MHz - enables use in PCI-X (133 MHz), legacy PCI (33/66 MHz), and custom high-speed clock trees |
| Output-to-Output Skew | 60 ps typical / 100 ps max - ensures tight phase alignment across all four outputs for synchronous sampling |
| Propagation Delay | 2.5–5 ns - guarantees predictable timing margin in critical path clock distribution |
| Input Threshold | VDD/2 - provides stable switching point compatible with CMOS and LVTTL logic families |
| Load Capacitance | 25 pF - defines maximum trace+fanout capacitance per output without degrading edge rate or jitter |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial environments including telecom infrastructure and factory automation |
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/LVTTL clock source; threshold at VDD/2; drives internal buffer tree |
| 2: OE | Output enable | Active-HIGH control; disables all outputs (high-impedance state) when LOW |
| 3: OUTPUT1 | Buffered clock output | One of four identical fanout outputs; 3.3 V CMOS level; 24 mA drive capability |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and signals; must be low-inductance connection |
| 5: OUTPUT4 | Buffered clock output | Output #4; electrically matched to OUTPUT1–3 for skew-critical routing |
| 6: VDD | Power supply | 3.3 V core supply; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 7: OUTPUT3 | Buffered clock output | Output #3; shares same internal driver stage characteristics as other outputs |
| 8: OUTPUT2 | Buffered clock output | Output #2; pin placement supports symmetrical PCB layout to minimize trace-length skew |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four matched outputs | Ensures uniform loading and minimal inter-output timing variation in multi-sink clock trees |
| Industrial temperature rating | Validated operation from –40 °C to +85 °C supports deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments |
| OE-controlled three-state | Allows dynamic clock gating without external logic, reducing system-level power and EMI during idle states |
| Low propagation delay variation | ≤2.5 ns delay spread across temperature and voltage ensures consistent setup/hold timing margins |
| Input hysteresis free | VDD/2 threshold with no hysteresis simplifies interface to clean clock sources and avoids metastability in edge-sensitive systems |
Applications
| PCI-X Server Backplane | Industrial PLC Clock Distribution |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Distributing 133 MHz PCI-X reference clock to multiple slots on a high-density server motherboard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fanout buffer providing four synchronized, low-skew copies of the system clock to slot connectors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision clock splitter generating four phase-matched references for time-correlated measurements. Use Value: Reduces measurement uncertainty by limiting channel-to-channel timing error to ≤60 ps typical. |
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; 10-output; higher skew (150 ps max); commercial temp only (0 °C to +70 °C) | Not suitable for industrial 3.3 V systems; requires level-shifting for mixed-voltage designs | Select only if 5 V operation and higher fanout are required, and temperature range is non-critical |
| ON Semi NB3N502MNG | 3.3 V; 2-output; lower skew (35 ps typ); integrated termination resistors; no OE pin | Lacks output enable and fanout count; designed for differential LVDS, not single-ended CMOS | Prefer for dual-output LVDS applications where OE control and four outputs are unnecessary |
Compared with IDT 5V2310APG and ON Semi NB3N502MNG, CY2304NZZXI-1 uniquely balances industrial temperature support, 3.3 V compatibility, four matched outputs, and active-HIGH OE control-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained PCI-X and embedded clock distribution where skew and enable flexibility are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum load capacitance supported per output?
The CY2304NZZXI-1 is characterized for 25 pF load capacitance per output. Exceeding this value may increase rise/fall times beyond the specified 1.5 ns max and degrade output-to-output skew performance. Layout best practices recommend minimizing trace length and avoiding stubs to maintain signal integrity within this limit.
Does the device require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OE or BUF_IN?
No external biasing is required. The OE pin has an internal weak pull-down (not specified in datasheet but verified in Cypress application notes), and BUF_IN is a standard CMOS input with no internal termination. OE must be driven actively HIGH to enable outputs; floating OE results in disabled outputs due to internal pull-down.
Can CY2304NZZXI-1 operate at 2.5 V supply?
No. The device is strictly rated for 3.0–3.6 V operation. Operation below 3.0 V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks failure to meet timing specifications-including propagation delay, skew, and output drive strength-as confirmed in the Operating Conditions table (VDD min = 3.0 V).
Is thermal derating required above 70 °C ambient?
Yes. With θJA = 165 °C/W, junction temperature rises ~16.5 °C per 100 mA of supply current. At 85 °C ambient and 25 mA IDD (max), TJ ≈ 126 °C-within the 150 °C limit. However, sustained operation near max ratings requires adequate PCB copper area and airflow to avoid thermal throttling or long-term reliability degradation.
