Tri-state buffer ICs from Torex give a boost to handheld performance

18 June 2003 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Torex Semiconductor has introduced a new pair of compact tri-state output buffer ICs. The XC2300 and XC2301 have built-in input amplifier and divider circuits, and are claimed to provide a low cost yet highly efficient and flexible solution for a wide range of buffer applications. They are particularly suited to improving the performance of VCXO modules and crystal oscillator circuits found in handheld and portable equipment such as mobile phones, PDAs and laptop computers.

The XC2300 and XC2301 are low power CMOS buffers with maximum operating frequencies of 70 and 160 MHz respectively. Both are supplied in a compact mini-mould SOT-26 package. The XC2300 is available with a choice of operating voltage: either 3,3 V ±10% or 5,0 V ±20%. The XC2301 meanwhile is offered with an operating voltage of 3,3 V ±10%.

For both the XC2300 and XC2301 output is selectable from input frequency (fin) of: fin1, 2,4 and 8. So, for example, from an input of 160 MHz with the XC2301, typical output frequencies of 160, 80, 40 and 20 MHz can be achieved.
