8SLVP2102ANLGI

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The 8SLVP2102ANLGI is a high-performance, low-power differential dual 1:2 LVPECL output fanout buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics. Designed for the distribution of high-frequency, very low additive phase-noise clock and data signals, the device features two independent buffer channels, each providing two low-skew outputs. It operates from a full 3.3V or 2.5V supply voltage and supports case temperatures up to 105°C. The component utilizes a lead-free (RoHS 6) 16-lead VFQFPN package with dimensions of 3.0 x 3.0 x 1.0 mm and a 0.5 mm pitch, suitable for surface mount applications in demanding timing environments.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Operates on 3.3V or 2.5V supply voltages

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• PCI Express clock distribution
• High-speed serial link clock buffering
• Server and storage system timing networks
• Telecommunications equipment clocking

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NLGI' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Confirm the operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) matches the target application environment. Ensure design-in reviews account for the 16-lead VFQFPN thermal characteristics and moisture sensitivity level requirements during assembly.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel LVPECL fanout is required for frequencies up to 2 GHz. Compare against the 8SLVP1204 if four outputs are needed instead of two. Verify that the 3.3V or 2.5V supply rails align with the system power architecture. Consider the 5 ps typical output bank skew for tight skew budgets in parallel clock distribution networks.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The 8SLVP2102ANLGI belongs to the 8SLVP family of low-voltage PECL fanout buffers. This series is optimized for high-isolation between channels to minimize noise coupling. It serves as a replacement for older ICS/IDT legacy parts in designs requiring precise differential clock distribution with guaranteed part-to-part skew repeatability.
