• Clock Driver and Distribution Functionality
• Lead-Free (Pb-Free) Construction

Applications

• High-speed data communication systems requiring LVDS buffering
• Digital signal processing equipment
• Computer peripheral interfaces

Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and marked as End-of-Life (EOL). Availability is restricted to remaining stock from distributors or secondary markets. Verification of authenticity and storage history is critical due to the component's age and moisture sensitivity classification. Buyers should confirm the exact suffix 'LF' indicates lead-free compliance and check for any product change notices (PCN) issued prior to discontinuation.

Selection Notes

Designers replacing this obsolete part must evaluate current LVDS buffer alternatives from Renesas or other manufacturers. Key parameters to match include the LVDS output standard, drive capability, and package dimensions. Since the original part is EOL, functional pin compatibility with existing PCB layouts should be verified against new candidate datasheets to ensure seamless integration without redesign.

Part Context

The 8545AG-02LF belongs to the IDT/Renesas clock buffer family, originally developed by Integrated Device Technology before its acquisition by Renesas. The '8545' series typically denotes high-performance clock buffers. The 'AG' prefix often refers to the package type and temperature range, while '02' specifies the internal circuit configuration. The 'LF' suffix confirms the absence of lead in the manufacturing process, adhering to RoHS standards.
