85356AMILFT

Overview

The 85356AMILFT is a dual 2:1 differential-to-LVPECL multiplexer manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It accepts two differential inputs and selects one to drive dual LVPECL outputs. The device supports a maximum frequency of 900 MHz and operates on a single 3.3 V supply voltage within the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. It features both common select and individual select control inputs for flexible signal routing. Packaged in a 20-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm width) surface-mount housing, it is designed for high-speed clock distribution applications requiring precise timing and low jitter performance.

Feature Summary

• Dual 2:1 multiplexing capability with independent or common selection controls
• Supports high-speed operation up to 900 MHz
• Converts differential inputs to dual LVPECL outputs
• Operates on a standard 3.3 V power supply

Applications

• High-speed data handling systems
• FPGA clock distribution networks
• Precision timing infrastructure
• Telecommunications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Renesas distributors or certified partners. Confirm package integrity and marking consistency against official datasheet specifications. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly. Cross-reference ordering part numbers carefully to match exact suffix requirements for temperature grade and packaging format.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual redundant clock sources require seamless switching with minimal latency. Ideal for designs demanding LVPECL output compatibility with differential input standards. Consider thermal management requirements for SOIC packages in dense layouts. Evaluate jitter performance metrics against system timing budgets before finalizing integration into critical signal paths.

Part Context

This multiplexer belongs to Renesas' high-performance clock buffer and driver family. It complements other devices like the 85311 and 8535 series by providing specific 2:1 mux functionality. The 85356I variant focuses on dual-channel selection rather than simple buffering, offering greater flexibility for complex clock tree architectures in advanced digital systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Renesas 2:1 LVPECL multiplexers such as the 85356AGI-01LFT. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before swapping. Alternative manufacturers may offer functionally similar parts but require careful validation of timing characteristics and supply voltage ranges.
