Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this component may be subject to end-of-life or limited supply conditions. Confirm package variant matches design requirements. Check for alternate pin-compatible devices if sourcing is constrained. Ensure compliance with latest environmental regulations before integration into final products.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low-jitter clock performance is required for digital systems. Consider the 200MHz maximum frequency limit for application compatibility. Evaluate the SOIC-8 footprint against board space constraints. Compare against other VERSACLOCK variants for specific feature sets such as output count or power consumption requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas VERSACLOCK series of clock synthesizers. It shares functional similarities with models like the 252PMILFT and 252MI-48LF. These devices are commonly used in embedded systems requiring precise timing signals. The series offers various package options and frequency configurations to suit different design needs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the 252MI series. Verify electrical compatibility with similar Renesas clock generators. Consider cross-referencing with industry-standard alternatives if original sourcing is unavailable.
