8SLVD1204NLGI

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The 8SLVD1204NLGI is a high-performance differential dual 1:4 LVDS fanout buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics. Designed for the distribution of high-frequency, low additive phase-noise clock and data signals, it operates from a single 2.5V supply. The device features two independent buffers with four low-skew outputs each, supporting maximum input clock frequencies up to 2GHz. It accepts LVDS and LVPECL differential input levels and includes integrated bias voltage generators for interfacing single-ended signals. Characterized for operation between -40°C and +85°C, it is housed in a lead-free (RoHS 6) 28-lead VFQFN package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The 8SLVD1204NLGI belongs to the 8SLVD2104 series of clock buffers. It shares core architectural similarities with the 8SLVD2104, including the dual 1:4 LVDS configuration and 28-lead VFQFN packaging. The 'N' suffix typically denotes specific manufacturing or environmental compliance variations within the Renesas product line, while maintaining identical electrical characteristics to the standard 8SLVD2104 variant.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

The 8SLVD2104 serves as a direct functional equivalent within the same series. Verification of pin compatibility and electrical parameters against the specific datasheet revision is required before substitution.
