8304AMLFT

Overview

The 8304AMLFT is a low skew, 1-to-4 inverting fanout buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It accepts LVCMOS or LVTTL clock inputs and provides four corresponding outputs. The device supports a maximum output frequency of 200 MHz and operates on a supply voltage range of 3.135V to 3.465V. Packaged in an 8-SOIC format with a width of 3.90mm, it is designed for surface mount installation. The component functions within an ambient operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• 1:4 Fanout Buffer Configuration
• Maximum Frequency of 200 MHz
• LVCMOS/LVTTL Input and Output Compatibility
• 8-SOIC Surface Mount Package

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring signal splitting
• Digital systems utilizing LVCMOS or LVTTL logic families
• Board-level timing synchronization

Procurement Notes

The 8304AMLFT has been officially declared obsolete by the manufacturer, with End-of-Life notification dated June 12, 2020. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus inventory. Procurement planning must account for the discontinued status and potential long-term supply constraints.

Selection Notes

Designers should verify that the required clock frequency does not exceed 200 MHz and that the system voltage aligns with the 3.135V to 3.465V specification. Since this part is obsolete, alternative components such as the 5PB1104CMGI8 may be considered for new designs, ensuring compatibility with the 1:4 ratio and package requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 8304A series of clock buffers. It serves as a legacy solution for distributing single-ended clock signals to multiple destinations. The device was previously supplied in tape and reel packaging, with a standard manufacturing quantity of 3,000 units per reel.

Replacement Considerations

The 5PB1104CMGI8 is identified as a replacement option. Engineers must evaluate differences in maximum frequency (166 MHz vs 200 MHz) and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C vs 0°C to 70°C) before substituting.
