1. What is the difference between a clock buffer and a clock driver?

The main function of a clock buffer is to distribute clock signals, while a clock driver is used to enhance signal strength to drive higher loads. Buffer is usually used for branching and synchronizing multiple clock signals, while driver is used to increase signal transmission distance and load capacity.
2. What are the main applications of clock buffers?

Clock buffers are widely used in systems that require the distribution of clock signals to multiple devices, such as computer motherboards, servers, communication equipment, data centers, and industrial control systems, to ensure synchronized operation of all devices.
3. How to choose a suitable clock buffer?

When choosing a clock buffer, the following factors need to be considered:

frequency range

Number of output channels

Signal type (differential signal or single ended signal)

Phase noise and jitter performance

Power supply voltage and power consumption
4. What output configurations does the clock buffer support?

Clock buffers typically support multiple output configurations, including single ended output, differential output, programmable delay, or selectable output frequency, to accommodate different system requirements.
