ICS8516FYI

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The ICS8516FYI is a low skew clock driver belonging to the HiPerClockS family, manufactured by IDT (now part of Renesas Electronics). It functions as a 1-to-16 differential-to-LVDS clock distribution chip. The device accepts differential input signals via a CLK/nCLK pair and translates them into 3.3V LVDS output levels. It features 16 true outputs with zero inverted outputs. The component is housed in a 48-pin LQFP package measuring 7 x 7 mm with a height of 1.40 mm. It operates within a temperature range consistent with standard commercial or industrial classifications for this series.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The ICS8516FYI is part of the 8516 series from IDT, which specializes in high-performance clock solutions. IDT was acquired by Renesas Electronics, making this component part of the broader Renesas portfolio despite the original IDT branding on the datasheet. It serves as a buffer for translating various differential input levels to standardized LVDS outputs.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should verify compatibility with current Renesas offerings or equivalent LVDS fanout buffers from other manufacturers if sourcing new production units.
