8T73S208B-01NLGI8

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The Renesas 8T73S208B-01NLGI8 is a high-performance clock buffer and divider designed for signal distribution. It features a single input to eight output configuration with a maximum operating frequency of 1 GHz. The device accepts differential inputs including CML, LVDS, and LVPECL, generating LVPECL outputs. It operates on a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.465 V and supports an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a 32-VFQFPN (5x5 mm) exposed pad format, it is supplied in tape and reel packaging for surface mount assembly.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• 1:8 Fanout Buffer and Divider supporting frequencies up to 1 GHz
• Differential input compatibility with CML, LVDS, and LVPECL signals
• LVPECL output signaling for high-speed clock distribution
• Operates within a 2.375 V to 3.465 V supply voltage range

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-frequency clock distribution networks
• Data communication equipment requiring low jitter buffering
• Networking infrastructure components
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix NLGI8 corresponds to the Tape & Reel (TR) carrier type as indicated in the product parameters. Confirm that the 32-VFQFPN package dimensions match the 5x5 mm specification required for the target PCB layout. Ensure the supply voltage constraints between 2.375 V and 3.465 V align with the system power design before procurement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential clock source needs to drive eight LVPECL loads at frequencies approaching 1 GHz. The device is suitable for applications requiring CML, LVDS, or LVPECL input compatibility. Consider the 32-VFQFPN package size if board space is limited. Verify that the output swing requirements of the downstream components are compatible with standard LVPECL levels.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas clock buffer and driver category. It functions as a fanout buffer and divider, converting one input clock into eight synchronized outputs. The device is distinct from simple inverters or oscillators, focusing on signal integrity and distribution for high-speed digital systems.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate alternative 1:8 LVPECL buffers with similar 1 GHz speed and VFQFPN-32 packaging if replacement is necessary.
