8516FYILF

Overview

The Renesas 8516FYILF is a clock buffer and fanout buffer belonging to the HiPerClockS family. It functions as a 1-to-16 LVDS fanout buffer, translating differential input signals into sixteen low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) outputs. The component is designed for high-performance clock distribution applications requiring low skew. This specific part number variant includes an 'LF' suffix indicating lead-free construction, distinguishing it from non-compliant versions like the 8516FYI. The device operates within standard industrial temperature ranges typical for this series.

Feature Summary

• 1-to-16 LVDS Fanout Buffer configuration
• HiPerClockS family member for high-performance clock solutions
• Low skew clock distribution capability
• Lead-free (LF) package construction

Applications

• High-speed data communication systems
• Server and storage backplane clock distribution
• Telecommunications equipment timing networks

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully, as the base model 8516FY is listed as non-RoHS in some distributor records. Confirm the LF suffix specifically denotes lead-free packaging. Check current availability as the base model may be discontinued or restricted in certain regions. Ensure the datasheet matches the exact suffix requirements for your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential clock source must drive up to sixteen LVDS loads with minimal skew. Compare against other HiPerClockS devices if different output counts or voltage levels are required. Verify that the 48-pin LQFP package fits the board layout constraints. Ensure the input signal levels are compatible with the differential input specifications of the 8516 series.

Part Context

The 8516FYILF is part of the broader 8516 series manufactured by IDT, which was acquired by Renesas Electronics. The series is known for HiPerClockS technology. The 'I' typically denotes industrial temperature range, while 'LF' indicates lead-free material composition. This places the component in the category of precision timing and clock distribution integrated circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the 8516 family such as the 8516FYI, provided lead-free compliance is not mandatory. Cross-reference with other Renesas HiPerClockS buffers if pin compatibility or specific electrical parameters differ. Verify functional equivalence regarding skew and output drive strength before substitution.
