Clock Buffers, Drivers

Integrated Circuits (ICs)/Clock/Timing/Clock Buffers, Drivers.Products in the clock buffer & driver integrated circuit family are used to aid the dissemination of signals throughout a system, most commonly the frequency/time reference signals used to synchronize activity within the system. While the function most commonly performed is that of buffering, the replication of a signal from some source to isolate it from the influence of a driven load, some devices in the family perform additional functions such as selective rerouting of the buffered signals, division of signal frequency by some integer value, or translation of electrical signaling format used.
