524SCMGI8

Overview

The 524SCMGI8 is a clock buffer integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a single input and four LVCMOS outputs, providing a 1:4 distribution ratio. The device supports maximum operating frequencies up to 200 MHz with a typical propagation delay of 4 ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.71 V to 3.465 V, covering 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families. The component is housed in an 8-VFQFN (2x2 mm) surface-mount package and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• 1-to-4 Clock Buffer with LVCMOS output signaling
• Maximum frequency operation of 200 MHz
• Wide supply voltage support: 1.71V to 3.465V
• Compact 8-VFQFN (2x2 mm) package

Applications

• High-speed digital signal processing systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control and automation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '8' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) requirements for the assembly process. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the Renesas Electronics Corporation origin.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pin-count, single-supply clock distribution solution is required for LVCMOS loads. The 8-VFQFN package is suitable for space-constrained designs. Verify that the system power rails align with the specified 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V operating ranges to ensure proper signal integrity and timing performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 524S series of clock buffers from Renesas Electronics. It serves as a direct functional replacement for similar 1:4 LVCMOS clock drivers in the same family, such as the 524SCMGI, differing primarily in packaging and reel specifications. It complements other Renesas timing devices like the 651SCMGI8 for complex clock tree architectures.

Replacement Considerations

The 524SCMGI8 is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute for the 651SCMGI8. Designers should verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before swapping these components in existing layouts.
