553MILF

Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 553MILF is a low skew, single-input to four-output clock buffer belonging to the ClockBlocks family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 5.25 V and supports maximum input frequencies up to 200 MHz. The device features extremely low output skew with a maximum value of 50 ps and includes an output enable pin for tri-stating outputs. It utilizes low power CMOS technology and is available in an 8-pin SOIC package. The component supports both commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.

Feature Summary

• Extremely low skew outputs with a maximum of 50 ps
• Single input to four output configuration (1:4 ratio)
• Operating supply voltage range from 2.375 V to 5.25 V
• Output enable pin allows tri-stating of outputs

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring low skew performance
• Systems utilizing 1.8V to 3.3V or 2.5V to 5V supply voltages
• Applications needing board-level testing via tri-state capability

Part Context

The 553MILF is part of the IDT/Renesas ClockBlocks family, specifically designed as a low skew, small form-factor clock buffer. It serves as a successor or alternative to previous generations like the ICS553 series. For applications requiring more than four outputs, related products such as the 552-02 (1-to-8 buffer) or MK74CBxxx Buffalo series are recommended by the manufacturer.
