Can anyone explain wt is the difference between clock buffer and ordinary buffer ??
 

clock buffer has the same rise time and fall time as the input which is not the case for an ordinary buffer....
 

clkbuffer as output rise/fall transitions matched.
in a normal buffer, normally fall transition is faster than rise transition. so if you use normal buffer on clock trees, you'll have duty cycle distortion.
 

only one difference ??
 

Any more difference except this ?? Plz tell me some more differences
Bye take care
 

since the clock buffers are optimised for the transitions their power consumption would be higher than ordinary buffers.... speed is trade offed for power consumption...
