Propagation delay question

Hi Everyone

I'm looking to buffer a clock oscillator to improve fan-out. In my application, skew is not important, but symmetry is - I need a 33MHz clock with 40% to 60% duty cycle. My clock oscillator is guaranteed to be between 45% and 55%, so my buffer must have (TPLH - TPHL) < 1.5ns in order to be safe.

My questions are: can I expect the low-to-high propagation delay of a CMOS device (ALVC244) to be very close to the high-to-low delay? In this type of device, what causes differences between TPLH and TPHL? Is the phenomenon temperature dependant?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers Geoff

Do you have access to a 66 MHz clock? If so, divide by 2.
