8SLVD1212NLGI

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The 8SLVD1212NLGI is a high-performance differential LVDS fanout buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features twelve low-skew outputs designed for distributing high-frequency, low-additive phase-noise clock and data signals. The device operates from a 1.8V or 2.5V power supply and supports case temperatures up to +105°C. It includes two selectable differential inputs that can accept LVDS, LVPECL, or CML levels, with integrated bias voltage references for single-ended signal interfacing. Packaged in a 40-lead VFQFPN (6.0 x 6.0 x 0.9 mm) with a 0.5 mm pitch, it is characterized for operation between -40°C and +85°C ambient temperature.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The 8SLVD1212NLGI belongs to the 8SLVP family of differential fanout buffers. This series is optimized for low power consumption and low additive phase noise, making it suitable for applications demanding precise timing integrity. The 'NLGI' suffix indicates specific packaging and environmental compliance attributes within the Renesas product line.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

For direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family, consider the 8SLVP1212I. Verify voltage supply requirements (1.8V/2.5V vs 3.3V/2.5V) and output logic levels (LVDS vs LVPECL) when selecting alternative components.
