8304AMILFT

Overview

The Renesas 8304AMILFT is a low skew, 1-to-4 inverting fanout buffer designed for clock distribution applications. It accepts LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs and provides four corresponding outputs. The device supports a maximum output frequency of 166 MHz with an operating supply voltage range of 3.135V to 3.465V. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154 inch width) and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The component ensures defined performance through guaranteed output skew characteristics.

Feature Summary

• 1:4 Fanout Buffer Configuration
• Maximum Frequency of 166 MHz
• LVCMOS/LVTTL Input and Output Compatibility
• Low Skew Performance with 50ps Max Output Skew

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring signal splitting
• Systems demanding well-defined clock repeatability
• Mixed voltage domains using 3.3V input and 2.5V/3.3V outputs

Procurement Notes

The 8304AMILFT is classified as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. Procurement is limited to existing stock from third-party distributors. Verification of part authenticity and condition is critical due to the end-of-life status. Designers should initiate replacement strategies immediately to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Selection Notes

Select this component only if the design accommodates its 166 MHz maximum frequency limit and 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. Verify that the system requires a single-ended 1:4 inverting buffer with LVCMOS/LVTTL compatibility. Consider the 8-SOIC package dimensions for board layout constraints. Ensure power supply rails align with the specified 3.135V to 3.465V range for proper operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 8304A family of high-performance clock solutions. It serves as a specific variant of the 8304 series, distinguished by its lead-free (LFT) packaging and specific frequency characterization. The device addresses the need for precise clock skew management in digital systems where timing integrity is paramount across multiple downstream loads.
