AK8181F

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The AK8181F is a clock fanout buffer and multiplexer manufactured by Asahi Kasei Microdevices/AKM. It features a 3:4 input-to-output ratio, supporting up to 650 MHz maximum frequency. The device accepts differential inputs including CML, HCSL, LVDS, LVHSTL, and LVPECL, and provides four differential LVDS outputs. Powered by a 3.135V to 3.465V supply, it operates within -40°C to 85°C. Packaged in a 20-TSSOP surface-mount case, it is supplied in tape and reel format for automated assembly.
