Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the part status carefully, as public records indicate this specific model may be discontinued or subject to limited availability. Confirm the manufacturer designation (Renesas vs. legacy IDT branding) and ensure the package type matches the design requirements. Check for any product change notices (PCN) related to process or material updates before finalizing procurement plans.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-jitter, four-channel LVDS clock buffer is required for frequencies up to 650MHz. Ensure the system power supply strictly adheres to the 3.135V–3.465V specification. Consider thermal management within the 0°C to 70°C operational window. Verify compatibility with existing clock sources and load requirements for LVDS signaling standards.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 8545 series of clock drivers from Renesas Electronics. It is functionally equivalent to the ICS8545AG-02 designation, reflecting the company's acquisition of Integrated Device Technology (IDT). The '02' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or environmental compliance variations within the family, such as lead-free construction.
