PL123-02NGC

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PL123-02NGC is a low-cost, general-purpose inverting LVCMOS fanout buffer manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides a 1:2 signal distribution capability with an operating frequency range of DC to 200 MHz at 3.3V supply voltage. The device supports 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V power supplies and accepts both SST and non-SST clock signals. It features an Output Enable (OE) pin that defaults to logic high due to an internal pull-up resistor, allowing the outputs to be disabled into an active-low state for power savings below 5 µA. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a space-saving 6-lead UDFN package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• DC to 200 MHz operation at 3.3V; 150 MHz at 2.5V; 100 MHz at 1.8V
• Inverting 1:2 LVCMOS fanout buffer with Spread Spectrum Modulation support
• Output Enable (OE) pin with internal pull-up resistor for low-power standby mode (<5 µA)
• 6-Lead UDFN (HXA) package with GREEN/RoHS-compliant construction

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Clock distribution in embedded systems requiring minimal board area
• Fan-out buffering for LVCMOS-compatible digital circuits
• Applications utilizing Spread Spectrum Modulation clock signals

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'C' confirms the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. Confirm the media type corresponds to the 20/Bag packaging format specified for this variant. Ensure compatibility with the 6-Lead UDFN footprint during procurement planning.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select the PL123-02NGC when a commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) is sufficient for the application environment. Choose this part over the '-I' suffix variants if industrial grade (-40°C to +85°C) is not required. Verify that the 1:2 inversion requirement matches the system design needs.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the PL123-02N family of DC to 200 MHz inverting fanout buffers. The specific model PL123-02NGC denotes the 6-Lead UDFN package configuration combined with the commercial temperature rating. It shares core electrical characteristics with other suffixes in the series, differing primarily in environmental ratings and packaging quantities.
