8T73S1802NLGI/W

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The 8T73S1802NLGI/W is a high-performance, low-power differential fanout buffer designed for clock distribution in demanding embedded applications. It accepts CML, LVDS, or LVPECL inputs and provides two differential outputs configurable as LVCMOS or LVPECL. Operating on a single 2.375V to 3.465V supply, the device supports frequencies up to 1 GHz with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a compact 16-VFQFPN (3x3 mm) format, it offers flexible output drive capabilities for system integration.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Accepts CML, LVDS, or LVPECL differential input signals
• Generates two differential outputs selectable as LVCMOS or LVPECL
• Supports maximum operating frequency of 1 GHz
• Operates on a single voltage supply from 2.375V to 3.465V

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-speed data communication systems
• Embedded networking equipment
• Industrial control systems requiring precise clock distribution

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm packaging type and reel specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required tape and reel or cut tape configuration for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 16-VFQFPN package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint design constraints.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential source must drive two distinct loads with different logic levels. The ability to mix LVCMOS and LVPECL outputs allows for optimized power consumption across mixed-voltage domains. Verify that the input signal amplitude falls within the specified tolerance for CML, LVDS, or LVPECL standards to ensure reliable switching performance.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas clock buffer family, which focuses on low-jitter signal distribution for digital systems. Unlike programmable synthesizers, this device functions strictly as a passive buffer, maintaining signal integrity without frequency multiplication or division. It serves as a critical interface between high-frequency oscillators and downstream logic components.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible devices within the same product family. Ensure any alternative maintains the 1:2 ratio, 1 GHz speed, and 16-VFQFPN package compatibility. Verify that replacement parts support the same input/output voltage combinations and thermal characteristics.
