8SLVD2102NLGI8

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The Renesas 8SLVD2102NLGI8 is a dual 1:2 low skew, low additive jitter LVDS fanout buffer. It features two independent buffer channels with matched AC characteristics and high isolation to minimize noise coupling. The device supports fail-safe operation and accepts LVDS, LVPECL, and single-ended LVCMOS levels on differential inputs CLKA/nCLKA and CLKB/nCLKB. It operates from a 1.8V or 2.5V supply, with a maximum input clock frequency of 2.0GHz. Key electrical parameters include a typical output bank skew of 5ps, typical output skew of 30ps, and typical RMS additive phase jitter of 40fs at fREF = 156.25MHz (12kHz to 20MHz).

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Dual 1:2 LVDS fanout buffers with high channel isolation.
• Supports LVDS, LVPECL, and single-ended LVCMOS inputs.
• Low additive phase jitter: 40fs typical (fREF = 156.25MHz).
• Operates from 1.8V or 2.5V power supplies.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Fanout of high-frequency, very low additive phase-noise clock signals.
• Distribution of data signals requiring well-defined performance and repeatability.
• Applications demanding low skew and low power consumption.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NLGI8' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, lead finish, and tape/reel specifications. Check for Product Change Notices (PCNs) regarding assembly location changes or material updates, as these may affect compliance status such as RoHS3 or REACH. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as component lifecycle stages can change without immediate public announcement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel LVDS distribution with minimal skew is required. Ensure the system design accommodates either 1.8V or 2.5V supply voltages, as the device is characterized for both. Verify that input signal levels match the supported LVDS, LVPECL, or LVCMOS standards. Consider the 16-lead VFQFPN package dimensions (3.0 x 3.0 x 1.0 mm) for PCB layout constraints.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The 8SLVD2102NLGI8 belongs to Renesas' family of high-performance differential fanout buffers designed for clock distribution. It is part of the 8P34S series, which focuses on low-power, low-jitter solutions for high-speed digital systems. The 'NLGI8' suffix typically denotes the specific packaging and environmental compliance configuration provided by the manufacturer.
