74FCT38072SCMGI8

Overview

The 74FCT38072SCMGI8 is a low skew clock buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It features one input and two outputs, supporting supply voltages from 1.8V to 3.3V. The device exhibits an additive phase jitter of 50fs RMS and extremely low output skew of 50ps. It operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and supports input/output clock frequencies up to 200MHz. Packaged in an 8-pin COL (DFN) format with dimensions of 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.5 mm, it utilizes low-power CMOS technology.

Feature Summary

• Low additive phase jitter of 50fs RMS
• Extremely low skew outputs at 50ps
• Supports 1.8V to 3.3V operating voltages
• Input/Output clock frequency up to 200MHz

Applications

• High-speed digital systems requiring precise clock distribution
• Data communication equipment needing low jitter buffering
• Consumer electronics utilizing LVCMOS interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the package type is 8-pin COL (DFN) and confirm the suffix '8' indicates reel packaging with a quantity of 4000 units. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the requirement of -40°C to +105°C. Check for RoHS compliance details as specified in the product documentation. Confirm the manufacturer part number matches exactly to avoid confusion with similar variants like the SDCGI8.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended input must be buffered to two low-skew outputs with minimal added jitter. It is suitable for applications requiring operation across a wide voltage range of 1.8V to 3.3V. Consider the 8-pin DFN package for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 200MHz maximum frequency aligns with system requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74FCT38072 series of clock buffers. It is distinct from the 74FCT3807 series which offers different output counts such as 1:5 or 1:10 configurations. The SC prefix denotes the specific COL package variant, while other suffixes like DC indicate SOIC packages. This specific model focuses on high-performance timing characteristics in a compact footprint.
