miSmartBuffer/miClockBuffer Clock Fanout Buffers

Microsemi's miClockBuffer and miSmartBuffer lineups offer pin-compatible variants, ensuring ease of design and saving additional costs

Image of Microsemi's miSmartBuffer/miClockBuffer Clock Fanout Buffers Microsemi's ZL40231, ZL40234, ZL40241, and ZL40260 provide customers with single-ended and differential fanout buffers with hardware control pins, while the ZL40230, ZL40235, and ZL40240 additions to the miSmartBuffer lineup offer highly flexible single-ended and differential outputs (I/Os) and per output control through a serial port. The new devices augment Microsemi's product family of traditional differential buffers and miSmartBuffers to complete customers' clock trees by offering expanded options and features including up to 10 differential outputs, per output and output bank control, ultra-low additive jitter, and power supply noise suppression.
