Low skew clock distribution for timing-critical boards
The Texas Instruments CGS74CT2526N is a low skew clock driver designed to distribute a reference clock to multiple loads with minimal delay variation between outputs. This part is suited for synchronous systems where clock edge alignment matters — think multi-card backplanes, high-speed ADC/DAC arrays, or FPGA banks that share a common clock source. The low skew specification keeps setup-and-hold margins tight across the fan-out tree, reducing the risk of metastability on parallel data buses.
Lifecycle and compliance — active but lead-free restricted
However, the part is RoHS non-compliant, which limits its use in designs that must meet EU RoHS directives. For legacy or exempt military/industrial builds where leaded solder is still permitted, the active status and ongoing availability make this a straightforward procurement line.
Sourcing and availability
Because the part is active and not subject to allocation or phase-out notices, lead times typically track standard semiconductor supply. Submit an RFQ for a firm price and delivery commitment tailored to your quantity and schedule.
