Microsemi Corporation announces the availability of its ZL40250-ZL40253 miSmartBuffer™ devices. The highly flexible feature rich products reduce the complexity of designing clock trees for communications, enterprise switches and data center equipment by offering an innovative approach to traditional buffers.
Microsemi’s ZL40250-ZL40253 miSmartBuffer family is differentiated from industry traditional fanout buffers with compelling features including generating multiple frequencies using per output dividers. Also, the outputs of miSmartBuffers can be configured to generate native signal types such as LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, HSTL and CMOS, allowing the devices to easily interface to other components on the board with no need for level shifters or termination components.
In addition, the devices’ outputs are grouped in six output supply voltage banks with CMOS output voltages from 1.5 volts (V) to 3.3V, eliminating the need for multiple regulators and simplifying the design. The three, six or 10-differential output programmable fanout buffers’ per output control provides designers with flexibility to control signals as well as the ability to create factory pre-programmed devices to ensure clock availability and proper system bring-up for different applications.
