8304AMLNT

Overview

The 8304AMLNT 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 within a supply voltage range of 3.135V to 3.465V. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package with a width of 3.90mm. The component is characterized for operation at ambient temperatures between 0°C and 70°C. This specific part number is designated as obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Feature Summary

• 1-to-4 Inverting Fanout Buffer configuration
• Maximum output frequency of 200 MHz
• LVCMOS/LVTTL input and output compatibility
• 8-SOIC surface mount package

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring signal buffering
• Digital systems utilizing LVCMOS or LVTTL logic families
• Board-level clock tree expansion

Procurement Notes

The 8304AMLNT is officially classified as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. Procurement must rely on existing stock from authorized distributors or third-party suppliers. Verification of the actual manufacturing date code and authenticity is critical due to the end-of-life status. Designers should initiate replacement strategies immediately to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Selection Notes

When selecting a replacement for the 8304AMLNT, verify that the substitute component maintains the 1:4 fanout ratio and LVCMOS/LVTTL interface compatibility. Ensure the new device supports the required 200 MHz frequency and operates within the 3.135V to 3.465V supply range. Package footprint compatibility, specifically the 8-SOIC form factor, should be evaluated to minimize board redesign efforts. Check for updated RoHS compliance if environmental regulations are a constraint.

Part Context

The 8304A series belongs to Renesas' portfolio of high-performance clock solutions, previously associated with IDT before acquisition. These components are designed for low skew clock distribution in digital systems. The 'AMLNT' suffix denotes the specific package type (SOIC) and tape-and-reel packaging format. The series is widely used in networking and computing applications where precise clock timing is essential.

Replacement Considerations

Public records identify the 5PB1104CMGI8 as a functional replacement for the 8304A series. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications against the original datasheet before substitution.
