8SLVP1212ANLGI8

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The Renesas 8SLVP1212ANLGI8 is a high-performance, 12-output differential LVPECL fanout buffer designed for distributing high-frequency clock and data signals. It operates from full 3.3V or 2.5V supply voltages and features two selectable differential inputs supporting LVDS, LVPECL, and CML levels up to 2GHz. Key electrical characteristics include a typical output skew of 15ps, maximum propagation delay of 550ps, and low additive phase jitter (RMS <50fs). The device consumes 118mA typically and is housed in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 40-lead VFQFPN package with dimensions of 6.0 x 6.0 x 0.9mm.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Twelve low-skew, low additive jitter LVPECL outputs
• Two selectable differential clock inputs accepting LVDS, LVPECL, or CML
• Maximum input clock frequency of 2GHz
• Typical output skew of 15ps and RMS additive jitter <50fs

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-frequency clock distribution networks
• Data signal fanout requiring low phase noise
• PCI Express Gen 1–5 compliant systems

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NLGI8' against official documentation to confirm package type (VFQFPN), lead finish, and reel quantity specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required 3.3V or 2.5V power supply rails and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range before procurement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when twelve synchronized LVPECL outputs are required with minimal skew. It is suitable for applications demanding operation at frequencies up to 2GHz with strict jitter constraints. Verify that the system supports the necessary differential input standards and voltage levels.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 8SLVP series of differential LVPECL fanout buffers. It shares architectural similarities with models like the 8SLVP1204 but provides a higher output count (12 vs 4) and a larger 40-lead package to accommodate the additional channels while maintaining low skew performance.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the 8SLVP1204, though it offers only four outputs. For identical 12-output configurations, verify pin-to-pin compatibility with other 8SLVP1212 variants having different suffixes.
