Microchip’s 1.2V Clock Buffers Link Latest SoCs and FPGAs with Higher Voltage Components

CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The demand for low-voltage clock drivers continues to grow with the rapid adoption of advanced FinFET process nodes used in high-performance FPGAs, SoCs, AI accelerators and next-generation CPUs. Printed circuit board designers face increasing challenges due to the limited availability of standard 1.2V LVCMOS clock buffers and level-translating buffers capable of converting higher-voltage clock signals to the lower-voltage levels required by these advanced devices. Conventional approaches that rely on discrete components and voltage-divider techniques can compromise signal integrity and clock duty-cycle accuracy while increasing board complexity and component count.
