Jason,
Take a look at the MPC940L clock driver from Motorola. It has a
3.3V core and the IO can be either 3.3V or 2.5V. You will probably
need to use 3.3V io to get the extra drive to drive those
edge rates. It has max. output to output skew of 150ps.
It supposedly will work up to 250MHz, which I question especially
from a thermal standpoint but the fastest I have tested the part is 125Mhz.
This is not pretty but it is better than nothing and should also
do a better job than a 244 buffer. I dont know how many clocks you need
to fan out but if you need a 1:1 clock buffer than this is probably
overkill since it is 1:18. It can receive a single ended or differential
clock input.
