CDCLVD2102RGTR

Overview

The CDCLVD2102RGTR is a low jitter, dual 1:2 universal-to-LVDS buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It accepts differential inputs compatible with LVCMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL standards, converting them to LVDS outputs. The device supports a maximum frequency of 800 MHz and operates on a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V. Housed in a compact 16-VQFN (3x3 mm) package with an exposed pad, it is designed for surface mount assembly. The component functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, providing reliable clock distribution for high-speed digital applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual 1:2 buffer configuration with universal input compatibility for LVCMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL signals
• LVDS output interface supporting maximum frequencies up to 800 MHz
• Low additive jitter performance optimized for precise clock distribution
• Compact 16-pin VQFN package (3mm x 3mm) suitable for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Wireless communications systems requiring low jitter clock distribution
• Telecommunications and networking equipment
• Medical imaging devices
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required tape and reel quantity for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors prior to procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when LVDS outputs are required from mixed-signal clock sources including LVCMOS or LVPECL. Confirm that the 800 MHz maximum frequency meets system timing requirements. Verify that the 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply voltage aligns with the target power domain. Ensure the 16-VQFN footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CDCLVD series of low jitter buffers from Texas Instruments. It serves as a specialized clock driver designed to distribute reference clocks with minimal signal degradation. The RGTR suffix indicates the specific tape and reel packaging format used for high-volume surface mount manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the Texas Instruments product selection guide for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the CDC family. Verify electrical parameters such as supply voltage and output swing before substituting with other buffer models.
