IDT74FCT38072DCI8

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The IDT74FCT38072DCI8 is a clock fan-out buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, belonging to the 74FCT series. It features a single circuit with a 1:2 input-to-output ratio, designed for low-skew clock distribution. The device accepts LVTTL inputs and provides LVCMOS or LVTTL outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V and supports maximum frequencies up to 166 MHz. Packaged in an 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm wide) surface-mount format, it is rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. This component is currently obsolete.

• LVTTL Input with LVCMOS/LVTTL Outputs
• Industrial Temperature Range (-40°C to 85°C)

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part is an enhanced version of the IDT74FCT38072DCI, distinguished by the '8' suffix indicating tape-and-reel packaging. It belongs to the broader 74FCT family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. While the base model IDT74FCT38072DCI was marked as obsolete in May 2009, this specific reel-packaged variant shares the same electrical characteristics and pinout.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Renesas recommends the 74FCT38072DCGI8 as a parameter-equivalent replacement. This alternative maintains the 1:2 ratio, 166 MHz speed, and 8-SOIC package while offering updated manufacturing status.
