85211BMI-03LN

Overview

The 85211BMI-03LN is a clock fanout buffer IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It functions as a 1:2 distribution device, accepting differential input signals and converting them to LVHSTL outputs. The component supports clock frequencies up to 700 MHz and features low skew characteristics for precise timing. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package with 8 lead counts. The device is RoHS compliant and currently holds an active lifecycle status.

Feature Summary

• Provides 1-to-2 differential-to-LVHSTL fanout buffering
• Supports high-speed clock distribution up to 700 MHz
• Features low skew performance for accurate signal timing

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring differential input conversion
• High-performance digital systems needing LVHSTL output drivers
• Timing-critical applications utilizing standard differential input pairs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and compliance details. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required 8-SOIC configuration. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to validate electrical parameters before integration. Confirm availability through authorized channels to guarantee genuine components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential clock source must drive two LVHSTL loads with minimal timing deviation. It is suitable for designs requiring standard differential inputs such as CLK and nCLK pairs. Consider the 700 MHz maximum frequency limit and the 8-SOIC footprint constraints during PCB layout and system architecture planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 85211 series of clock buffers from Renesas. It is functionally related to variants like the 85211BI-03, which shares similar low-skew differential-to-LVHSTL capabilities. The series addresses needs for reliable clock distribution in high-speed digital environments where signal integrity and timing precision are critical requirements.
