8SLVD1212ANLGI/W

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The 8SLVD1212ANLGI/W is a high-performance, 12-output differential LVDS fanout buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics. Designed for clock distribution applications requiring low additive phase noise and well-defined skew characteristics, the device operates from a single 2.5V power supply. It features two selectable differential inputs capable of accepting LVDS, LVPECL, or CML signal levels. The component integrates bias voltage generators to facilitate interfacing with single-ended signals. Characterized for operation within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it is housed in a lead-free (RoHS 6 compliant), 40-lead VFQFN package measuring 6.0 x 6.0 mm.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Twelve low skew, low additive jitter LVDS outputs
• Two selectable differential clock inputs supporting LVDS, LVPECL, and CML levels
• Low additive phase jitter with typical RMS value less than 50fs
• Integrated bias voltage generators for single-ended input interfacing

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-frequency clock distribution systems
• Data communication equipment requiring low jitter
• Industrial control applications demanding repeatability

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the 8SLVP family of fanout buffers. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series, such as the 8SLVP1212I, but is specifically optimized for LVDS output standards rather than LVPECL. The 'NLGI' suffix indicates a specific tape and reel packaging configuration suitable for automated surface-mount assembly.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same family include the 8SLVP1212I, though this variant utilizes LVPECL outputs instead of LVDS. Designers must verify output voltage compatibility when substituting between LVDS and LVPECL variants. Other members of the 8SLVP series may offer different output counts or input configurations.
