9DBU0241AKILF

Overview

The 9DBU0241AKILF is a clock buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics, designed for PCI Express (PCIe) applications. It operates with a single supply voltage of 1.5V and supports PCIe Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 standards. The device features zero-delay buffering functionality to minimize skew between input and output clocks. It provides four outputs and utilizes the VFQFPN-32 package for surface mount installation. The component is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Zero-delay clock buffering for low skew performance
• Supports PCIe Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 specifications
• Four output channels driven by a single input
• Operates at 1.5V supply voltage with typical power consumption of 53mW

Applications

• PCI Express root complex clock distribution
• Endpoint device clock generation
• High-speed digital system timing synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AKILF' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Check current availability as lead times may vary. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the standard factory packaging requirements specified in the product documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, zero-delay buffer is required for PCIe interfaces. Compare output drive strength and load capacitance requirements against the target PCB traces. Verify that the 32-pin VFQFPN footprint fits within the available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 9DBU series of clock buffers optimized for System-on-Chip (SoC) friendly designs. It complements other Renesas timing solutions like the 9DBU0441 and 9DBU0541, offering different output counts and ratios for varied system architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 9DBU0241 without suffix variations if electrical characteristics match. Cross-reference with 9DBU0441AKILF if additional outputs are needed, ensuring voltage levels and package types are compatible.
