ICS95V157AGI

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The ICS95V157AGI is a zero-delay buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for high-speed clock distribution. It accepts a single-ended clock input and generates ten differential pairs of clock outputs. The device operates within a voltage supply range of 2.3V to 2.7V and supports a maximum frequency of 233MHz. Packaged in a 48-TFSOP with a width of 6.10mm, it is intended for memory and DDR applications. The component features a 1:10 input-to-output ratio and includes an integrated PLL for precise timing alignment.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Zero-delay buffering architecture ensures minimal propagation delay between input and output clocks
• Converts single-ended input signals into ten distinct differential output pairs
• Integrated phase-locked loop mechanism maintains precise clock synchronization

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• DDR memory system clock distribution
• High-speed data bus timing alignment
• Memory controller clock generation

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AGI' against current Renesas documentation to confirm package type and RoHS compliance status. Check for product change notices or obsolescence announcements prior to procurement. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents. Confirm that the 48-TFSOP package dimensions match the design requirements. Review environmental declarations for regulatory adherence.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended source must drive multiple differential loads with zero latency penalty. The 233MHz maximum frequency suits standard DDR memory interfaces. Verify that the 2.3V to 2.7V supply range aligns with the system power rails. Consider the 48-pin footprint constraints during PCB layout. Evaluate thermal performance if operating near the upper temperature limit.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the ICS95V series of clock buffers from Renesas. These devices are engineered for memory subsystems requiring precise timing. The series typically offers various fanout ratios and output configurations. The ICS95V157 specifically addresses the need for distributing a master clock to multiple slave components without introducing jitter or skew.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Consult official Renesas substitution guides for verified alternatives. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics before swapping. Generic equivalents may not support the zero-delay feature or specific voltage ranges.
