2304NZG-1LF

Overview

The 2304NZG-1LF is a high-performance, low skew, low jitter 1:4 LVCMOS clock buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics. Designed for PCI/PCI-X and networking applications, it features a low input-to-output propagation delay of 1.8ns at 3.3V and a maximum output skew of 40ps. The device operates on a power supply ranging from 1.8V to 3.3V and includes a glitch-free output enable function. It supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and is available in small form factor packages such as the 8-pin 2x2mm DFN, TSSOP, and SOIC.

Feature Summary

• Low input to output propagation delay of 1.8ns (at 3.3V)
• Maximum output skew of 40ps
• Glitch-free Output Enable function
• Operates on 1.8V to 3.3V power supply

Applications

• PCI/PCI-X systems
• Networking equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix (e.g., DCGI for SOIC, NTGI for DFN) required for your PCB layout, as the base part number covers multiple physical footprints. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the selected variant meets the required moisture sensitivity level and reel specifications for your assembly line.

Selection Notes

Select the appropriate package type based on board space constraints; the DFN offers the smallest footprint while SOIC/TSSOP provide standard lead pitches. Verify that the system voltage aligns with the 1.8V to 3.3V operating range. Consider the thermal requirements if operating near the upper limit of the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Renesas clock buffer family, which provides precise timing signals for digital systems. These buffers are essential for distributing reference clocks to multiple endpoints while maintaining signal integrity through low jitter and skew characteristics.
