74FCT3807SQGI8

Overview

The 74FCT3807SQGI8 is a clock driver and distribution component manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It functions as a low skew buffer with a 1-to-5 output configuration, supporting input voltages from 1.8V to 3.3V. The device achieves an additive phase jitter of 50fs RMS. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.3V and is packaged in a Reel format for surface mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Low skew clock driver with 1-to-5 output ratio
• Additive phase jitter specification of 50fs RMS
• Wide supply voltage operation from 1.8V to 3.3V

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring low jitter performance
• System-on-chip (SoC) clocking architectures
• High-speed digital signal processing interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GI8 corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging quantity of 3000 units. Confirm that the 1.8V to 3.3V operating range aligns with the target system power rails. Ensure the 1-to-5 fan-out capability meets the design requirements rather than the 1-to-10 variants found in other series members.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 1-to-5 split is required instead of the standard 1-to-10 buffers like the 74FCT3807APYGI8. The 50fs jitter specification makes it suitable for sensitive timing applications compared to standard logic buffers. Verify compatibility with the 1.8V to 3.3V I/O levels of the driving source and receiving loads.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 74FCT3807 family of clock drivers. It shares the core low-jitter technology with variants such as the 74FCT3807SPGGI8 but differs in output count and package type. While the 74FCT3807QGI8 offers a 1-to-10 ratio in SSOP, the SQGI8 variant provides a 1-to-5 configuration optimized for specific board space or load constraints.

Replacement Considerations

The 74FCT3807SPGGI8 is a direct functional equivalent offering identical 1-to-5 low skew specifications and 50fs jitter performance. Both parts share the same manufacturer and electrical characteristics, differing primarily in the package style and tube versus reel packaging options.
