9112AG-16LFT

Overview

The Renesas 9112AG-16LFT is a PLL Zero Delay Buffer clock driver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It utilizes phase lock loop technology to align outputs in both phase and frequency with the input signal, effectively eliminating propagation delay. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 to 140 MHz at 3.3V supply voltage. It features low skew characteristics, with output skew controlled to less than 100 ps, and maintains jitter between outputs at less than 200 ps. This component is designed for high-performance clock distribution applications requiring precise timing alignment.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LFT' corresponds to the lead-free tape and reel packaging variant when sourcing. Confirm that the device status reflects current availability as lifecycle changes may occur. Ensure compatibility with 3.3V logic levels and check for any recent product change notices affecting pinout or electrical specifications before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when zero propagation delay is critical for system timing integrity. Consider the 140 MHz maximum frequency limit and 3.3V operating voltage requirements. Evaluate the package type availability against board space constraints. Compare jitter and skew specifications against other buffer options if tighter timing tolerances are required for the specific application environment.

Part Context

The 9112AG-16LFT belongs to the ICS9112A series of clock buffers from Renesas. These devices are engineered for applications where clock signal integrity and minimal delay are paramount. The series leverages PLL technology to provide robust clock distribution solutions across various industrial and commercial electronic systems requiring precise timing control.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include the 9112AM-16LF and 9112AF-17LF. Verify functional equivalence regarding output count and package type before substitution.
