MK5818SLFTR

Overview

The MK5818SLFTR is a clock generator integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It operates with a single PLL circuit and supports an input-to-output ratio of 2:2. The device accepts clock or crystal inputs and provides LVCMOS outputs. It functions at a maximum frequency of 16MHz and requires a supply voltage between 2.97V and 3.63V. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154" width) and is rated for operation within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated PLL-based clock generation with 2:2 input-to-output ratio
• LVCMOS output configuration for digital logic compatibility
• Supports both external clock and crystal input sources
• Operates on a 2.97V to 3.63V power supply range

Applications

• System clock distribution in embedded electronics
• Timing reference generation for digital circuits
• Clock signal conditioning for microcontroller systems

Procurement Notes

The MK5818SLFTR is officially designated as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer, with the discontinuation notice dated August 25, 2017. Procurement is restricted to remaining stock from authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Verification of part authenticity and storage history is critical due to the component's discontinued status.

Selection Notes

Designers requiring this specific 16MHz LVCMOS clock generator must account for the EOL status when planning long-term production. Alternative solutions should be evaluated if new designs are being developed. For existing designs, ensure that any replacement units match the 8-SOIC footprint and electrical specifications precisely.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MK5818 series of clock generators. It shares the basic product number MK5818 but differs in suffixes indicating packaging and temperature ranges. The 'SLFTR' suffix specifically denotes the surface-mount SOIC package and tape-and-reel shipping format.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the EOL status, direct pin-compatible replacements from other manufacturers may require schematic and layout modifications.
