252M-64LF

Overview

The 252M-64LF is a clock buffer and driver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a single input to four output configuration with a maximum frequency of 200 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.135 V to 3.465 V and supports surface mount installation in an 8-SOIC package. It is designed for high-speed signal distribution applications requiring precise timing integrity.

Feature Summary

• Single-to-four differential clock buffering
• Maximum operating frequency of 200 MHz
• Low noise performance for signal integrity
• Wide supply voltage compatibility

Applications

• High-speed data communication systems
• Server and storage backplane clock distribution
• Test and measurement equipment
• Networking infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '64LF' against official Renesas documentation to confirm lead-free status and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SOIC footprint dimensions during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance through current datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-jitter, single-input to multi-output clock distribution solution is required for frequencies up to 200 MHz. Consider the 8-SOIC package constraints for thermal management and board space. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the specified supply voltage range of 3.135 V to 3.465 V.

Part Context

This part belongs to Renesas' clock buffer family, often associated with IDT acquisition lines. It serves as a critical timing element in complex digital systems where clock skew must be minimized across multiple receivers. The 252M series typically offers robust drive capabilities for long traces or multiple loads.
