74FCT38072DCGI

Overview

The 74FCT38072DCGI is a clock fan-out buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It provides a single input to two output configuration with a maximum operating frequency of 166 MHz. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V and supports LVTTL inputs with LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154" width) and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. This component is classified as a clock driver and distributor.

Feature Summary

• Single-input, dual-output clock distribution architecture
• Maximum operating frequency of 166 MHz
• LVTTL input compatible with LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs
• Operates on 3V to 3.6V power supply

Applications

• Clock signal distribution in digital systems
• Fan-out buffering for timing circuits
• Low-voltage TTL logic interface applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status of the 74FCT38072DCGI before procurement, as related variants such as IDT74FCT38072DCI are marked as obsolete. Confirm RoHS compliance details through official datasheets, as some older suffixes may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure the specific SOIC-8 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:2 clock split is required at frequencies up to 166 MHz. It is suitable for designs requiring LVTTL input compatibility. For lower voltage operations (1.8V), consider alternative models from the 74FCT38072S series. Verify that the 8-SOIC package size fits the available board space.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74FCT family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as a clock buffer/driver variant within the broader 74FCT38072 product line. Related packages include tube and reel options, with some variants offering extended temperature ranges or different pin configurations.

Replacement Considerations

IDT74FCT38072DCI is listed as a parameter-equivalent replacement, though it is marked as obsolete. Check for active alternatives like the 74FCT38072SDCGI or 74FCT38072SCMGI if long-term availability is required.
