MK2304S-2TR

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Overview

The MK2304S-2TR is a zero delay, low skew buffer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation (formerly IDT). It utilizes a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) to align the rising edge of the input clock with all four outputs. The device provides two 1X outputs and two 1/2X outputs, supporting frequencies up to 133 MHz at 3.3 V. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and features less than 200 ps output-to-output skew. The unit draws less than 25 µA in standby mode when no rising edges are detected on the REF input.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to End-of-Life (EOL) status. Confirm that the TR suffix indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-pin SOIC package before procurement.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring precise clock alignment with minimal jitter. The MK2304S-2TR is suitable for designs needing both full-speed and divided clock signals from a single source. Verify that the 3.3 V supply voltage and 8 mA drive capability meet the load requirements of the downstream circuitry.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Part Context

This component belongs to the MK2304-2 family of zero delay buffers. It was originally developed by Integrated Device Technology (IDT), which was acquired by Renesas Electronics Corporation. The device is designed to replace competitive CMOS devices by offering lower jitter and skew performance in high-speed digital environments.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Replacement Considerations

Consult official documentation for direct substitutes. Alternative solutions may include other zero delay buffers from the same manufacturer family or comparable low-skew PLL-based buffers from other vendors, ensuring pinout and electrical specifications match.
