524SDCGI

Overview

The Renesas 524SDCGI is a low-skew clock buffer featuring a 1-to-4 output configuration. It supports maximum frequencies up to 200 MHz with specified skew performance of 50 fs and 50 ps. The device operates on a single supply voltage, typically 3.3V, and is designed for high-speed digital applications requiring precise timing distribution. It utilizes an HCSL-compatible output interface to ensure signal integrity in demanding environments.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GI' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature range. Check for alternative packaging options such as tape-and-reel if volume production is required. Confirm lead times with authorized distributors as availability may fluctuate based on global supply chain conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single source clock must drive four distinct loads with minimal skew. Ensure the system power supply matches the device's rated voltage. Verify that the load capacitance requirements are within the specified limits for the chosen output configuration to maintain signal integrity at 200 MHz operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas 524M series of clock buffers. The series offers various configurations including 1-to-2, 1-to-4, and 1-to-8 ratios. The 524SDCGI specifically addresses applications needing low jitter and skew for synchronous data paths in high-performance computing or communication infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same family include other variants of the 524M series with different output counts or skew specifications. Verify electrical compatibility before substitution.
