Thank you for your help!
Our ASIC is committed already. We are designing the prototype
board to bring it up. For now, it only needs to work at
room temperature (instead of the worst case conditions). If
the IDT74ALVC16244A part (or GAL16LV8) is not fast enough for
room temperature application, do you know of any other part that
might do? We will have adjustable delay lines to tune the skew
among ASICs, so the skew is not the prob. But it needs
to drive 100 or 50 ohm transmission lines for TTL/CMOS levels.
Thanks again!
