PL130-05QC-R

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PL130-05QC-R is a high-speed translator buffer manufactured by Microchip Technology (originally Micrel). It converts input signals from DC to 1.3 GHz into differential PECL outputs. The device accepts AC-coupled inputs with a minimum 100 mV swing, supporting conversion from sine wave, TTL, CMOS, or LVDS sources. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 3.3 V. The component features one pair of complementary PECL outputs and an active-low output enable pin. It is housed in a 3x3 mm QFN package with 16 terminals.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Differential PECL output with complementary true and inverted signals
• Single AC-coupled reference input accepting frequencies from DC to 1.3 GHz
• Minimum input signal swing requirement of 100 mV
• Active-low output enable function with internal pull-down default

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• Conversion of sine wave, TTL, CMOS, or LVDS signals to PECL levels
• High-speed clock distribution systems requiring PECL compatibility
• Data communication interfaces utilizing differential signaling

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'R' indicates tape and reel packaging for the PL130-05QC variant. Confirm the temperature grade 'C' corresponds to commercial operation limits. Ensure the source document explicitly links the PL130-05QC-R designation to the specified QFN package and electrical characteristics provided in the datasheet.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended or differential input must be translated to a differential PECL output at frequencies up to 1.3 GHz. The design requires an AC-coupled input with sufficient swing (minimum 100 mV). Verify that the system power supply supports the 2.5 V to 3.3 V operating range and that the thermal requirements fit within the commercial temperature specifications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PL130-05 series consists of high-speed translator buffers designed for frequency reproduction. The PL130-05QC-R specifically denotes the commercial grade version packaged in a 3x3 mm QFN format and supplied in tape and reel. This part belongs to a family that includes industrial temperature variants and tube-packaged options.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing should focus on devices offering similar DC to 1.3 GHz translation capabilities with differential PECL outputs and compatible supply voltages.
