8536AG-01LF

Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 8536AG-01LF is a low skew, high-performance fanout buffer belonging to the HiPerClockS family. It converts selectable crystal, single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL, or differential clock inputs into six LVPECL outputs operating at either 3.3V or 2.5V supply levels. The device supports maximum output frequencies up to 700MHz and accepts crystal frequencies between 12MHz and 40MHz. Key electrical specifications include a maximum part-to-part skew of 450ps and an additive phase jitter RMS of 0.19ps typical. It is housed in a 24-pin TSSOP package with an ambient operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Six LVPECL outputs configurable for 3.3V or 2.5V supply modes
• Selectable input sources: Crystal oscillator, LVCMOS/LVTTL single-ended, or differential CLK1/nCLK1 pair
• Differential input compatibility with LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, SSTL, and HCSL levels
• Maximum output frequency of 700MHz with maximum output skew of 55ps

Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems requiring precise clock distribution
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Test and measurement instruments demanding low jitter performance

Part Context

The 8536AG-01LF is part of the IDT HiPerClockS family, now manufactured by Renesas Electronics following their acquisition of Integrated Device Technology (IDT). This component series is designed for high-performance clocking applications where signal integrity and timing precision are critical. The 'AG' suffix typically denotes the commercial temperature grade and lead-free packaging variant within this product line.
