PLL-based zero delay buffer for clock distribution
The Cypress CY2V995AI is a PLL-based zero delay buffer designed to regenerate a clock signal with minimal phase shift between input and output. It accepts LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs and delivers LVTTL outputs across eight fanout paths from two input sources (2:8 ratio), making it a fit for distributing a clean, low-skew clock to multiple loads in a system. Rated for a maximum operating frequency of 200 MHz, this part suits clock trees in networking gear, base stations, test equipment, and industrial controllers where timing margin matters. The industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C covers outdoor telecom cabinets and factory-floor automation without requiring a commercial-grade workaround.
Supply voltage flexibility and package
The CY2V995AI operates from two distinct supply ranges: 2.375V to 2.625V and 2.97V to 3.63V. This dual-range support lets the same part work in a 2.5V or 3.3V logic environment without a separate voltage translator on the clock line — a BOM simplification when mixing FPGA banks and ASIC I/O. Housed in a 44-TQFP (10x10 mm) surface-mount package.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
For a BOM line that needs a zero delay buffer, this part carries no near-term obsolescence risk. Note that the RoHS compliance status is marked non-compliant, so verify your assembly's exemption or waiver requirements for a lead-free reflow process.
