8T73S208BNLGI8

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The 8T73S208BNLGI8 is a universal differential fanout buffer and clock divider manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It features one circuit with a 1:8 input-to-output ratio, supporting differential CML, LVDS, and LVPECL inputs to drive LVPECL outputs. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 1 GHz with supply voltages ranging from 2.375V to 2.625V or 3.135V to 3.465V. Packaged in a 32-VFQFPN (5x5) exposed pad in a tape and reel format, it functions within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix NLGI8 against official Renesas documentation to confirm the tape and reel packaging configuration. Ensure that the required supply voltage aligns with either the 2.375V–2.625V or 3.135V–3.465V operational range specified in the datasheet. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended or differential source requires expansion into eight synchronized LVPECL signals. Verify that the system power rails match the supported dual-voltage ranges. Consider the 32-VFQFPN footprint for thermal management and board space constraints. Ensure the operating environment remains within the -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature specification.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 8T73S208 family of universal differential fanout buffers. It is designed to interface with various high-speed logic families while providing precise timing distribution. The device integrates internal bias generators to simplify interfacing with single-ended or differential inputs without external components.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the 1:8 ratio, LVPECL output type, and 1 GHz maximum frequency capability.
