LMK00306SQ/NOPB

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The LMK00306SQ/NOPB is a 3.1 GHz differential clock buffer and level translator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features six outputs supporting HCSL, LVCMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL formats. The device operates on a single 3.15 V to 3.45 V supply with a maximum propagation delay of 2.3 ns. It is housed in a WQFN-36 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Provides ultra-low additive jitter performance for high-frequency signal distribution
• Supports flexible output voltage levels including HCSL, LVCMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL
• Integrates six differential outputs for efficient fan-out applications

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-frequency clock distribution networks
• Low-jitter data distribution systems
• Differential level translation interfaces

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (SQ vs SQE) against the official datasheet to ensure correct packaging and moisture sensitivity classification. Confirm that the WQFN-36 package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure input signal compatibility with the supported logic families before integration into the design.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a six-output differential buffer is required at frequencies up to 3.1 GHz. It is suitable for designs needing precise level translation between various logic standards without external components. Consider the thermal characteristics of the WQFN-36 package for heat dissipation requirements in dense layouts.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the LMK0030x series of ultra-low additive jitter differential clock buffers. It complements other variants like the LMK00304 and LMK00308, which offer four and eight outputs respectively. The series is designed for demanding applications requiring minimal phase noise addition during clock routing.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include LMK00304SQ/NOPB and LMK00308SQ/NOPB from the same family, offering different output counts. Cross-model comparison is necessary to verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment.
