PL133-27GC-R

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PL133-27GC-R is a low-power, inverting fanout buffer IC manufactured by Microchip Technology. It accepts a reference clock input from 1 MHz to 150 MHz and produces two inverted LVCMOS outputs of the same frequency. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.62V to 3.63V, supporting standard 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V systems. It features an extremely low additive phase jitter of 130 fs typical at 26 MHz and 150 fs typical at 100 MHz. The component is housed in a compact 6-lead TDFN package measuring 2 mm x 1.3 mm x 0.6 mm.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• 1:2 Inverting Fanout Buffer with LVCMOS outputs
• Input/Output Frequency Range: 1 MHz to 150 MHz
• Extremely Low Additive Phase Jitter (130 fs typ @ 26 MHz)
• Single Supply Voltage: 1.62V to 3.63V

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-performance, low-power embedded applications
• Small form-factor clock distribution systems
• Systems requiring minimal phase noise and jitter

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'R' indicates a tape and reel quantity of 3,000 units per reel. Confirm the 'C' suffix corresponds to the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Ensure compatibility with the 6-lead TDFN 2mm x 1.3mm package dimensions for PCB footprint design.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:2 inverting clock buffer is required within the 1 MHz to 150 MHz range. It is suitable for designs needing low power consumption and small physical size. Verify that the application environment stays within the 0°C to +70°C operating temperature limit. Ensure the input signal is compatible with LVCMOS or sine-wave levels as the inputs are internally AC-coupled.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PL133-27GC-R belongs to the PL133 series of low-power fanout buffers. The 'G' suffix denotes the 6-lead TDFN package, while 'C' specifies the commercial temperature grade. This specific part number represents the commercial grade version packaged in a tape and reel format for automated assembly.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

PL133-27GI-R offers the same electrical specifications but supports an industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
