89HP0608RZBABI8

Overview

The Renesas 89HP0608RZBABI8 is an eight-channel signal repeater designed for high-speed serial data applications. It supports data rates up to 6 Gbps and utilizes a 100-pin CABGA package with a 9x9 mm footprint and 0.8 mm pitch. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It features I2C programmability for configuration and diagnostic monitoring. The component is classified as a signal integrity product intended for computing, storage, and communications systems requiring robust signal regeneration.

Feature Summary

• Eight independent channels for simultaneous signal regeneration
• I2C interface for advanced configuration and diagnostics
• Optimized analog performance for demanding high-speed applications
• Supports fail-over capabilities through built-in mux/demux functionality

Applications

• High-performance computing systems
• Enterprise storage area networks
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RZA against official Renesas documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance, as suffixes dictate environmental and material specifications. Confirm current production status, as related variants in this series have been marked obsolete or subject to product change notices. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and reflow profiles specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when eight-channel signal regeneration at 6 Gbps is required. Compare against the 89HP0608X variant if higher speeds up to 6.25 Gbps are needed. Verify that the 0-70°C commercial temperature range meets system requirements; otherwise, consider industrial grade options. Ensure the design accommodates the 100-CABGA package constraints and I2C bus requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IDT/Renesas 89HP0608 family of signal repeaters. It is functionally similar to the 89HP0608S and 89HP0608X models but may differ in speed grades, temperature ranges, or packaging details. The family is widely used in SAS/SATA and XAUI applications. Check the specific datasheet for the 'R' suffix to distinguish it from other channel counts or speed variants in the lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers for the 89HP0608RZBABI8 were not found in the provided source material. Related variants such as the 89HP0608SZBAB8 or 89HP0608XZBABI exist within the same family but may have different electrical characteristics or statuses.
