MK2304S-2LFTR

Overview

The MK2304S-2LFTR is a zero delay, low skew buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It utilizes a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) architecture to provide high-performance clock distribution for high-speed applications. The device features low jitter characteristics and ensures precise timing alignment between input and output signals. Packaged in an 8-SOIC format, it supports multiple output configurations including 1X and 1/2X outputs with output-to-output skew less than 200 ps.

Feature Summary

• Zero input-output delay capability
• Low jitter and low skew performance
• Multiple output drive options

Applications

• High-speed digital systems
• Clock distribution networks
• Data converter synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LFTR indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the operating temperature range and voltage supply requirements match the target design specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required clock frequencies and load conditions before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring minimal propagation delay and tight skew control. Consider the 8-pin SOIC package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the PLL-based architecture benefits over passive buffering solutions for signal integrity in high-speed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MK2304 series of clock buffers from Renesas. It is designed to replace discrete buffering solutions in complex digital circuits. The series offers various speed grades and output configurations to suit different system timing requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Check pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Verify that the replacement buffer meets the same frequency and skew specifications. Ensure the new component supports the required output loads and power supply voltages.
