PL133-37TC-R

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PL133-37TC-R is a low-power, inverting 1:3 fanout buffer IC manufactured by Microchip Technology. It accepts reference clock inputs ranging from 1 MHz to 150 MHz and produces three inverted LVCMOS outputs with a 12 mA drive strength. The device operates on a single power supply between 1.62 V and 3.63 V. It supports both LVCMOS and sine wave input signals via internal AC coupling. The component is housed in a 6-lead SOT-23 package and is rated for commercial operating temperatures from 0°C to +70°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Provides three inverted LVCMOS outputs with 12 mA drive capability
• Supports input frequencies from 1 MHz to 150 MHz (up to 100 MHz at 1.8V)
• Features very low additive phase jitter (typical 70 fs at 26 MHz)
• Accepts LVCMOS or sine wave inputs through internal AC coupling

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-performance, low-power clock distribution systems
• Small form-factor electronic designs requiring minimal footprint
• Applications demanding low jitter and phase noise performance

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'TC' confirms the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range and the '-R' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging containing 3,000 units per reel. Confirm RoHS compliance status as specified in the datasheet documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a small 6-lead SOT-23 package is required for clock buffering. Ensure the application voltage falls within the 1.62 V to 3.63 V range. Note that maximum input frequency is limited to 100 MHz if operating at 1.8 V; otherwise, it supports up to 150 MHz at higher voltages.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the PL133-37 series of low-power fanout buffers. The specific suffix 'TC' designates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C), while 'TI' variants are available for industrial grades (-40°C to +85°C). The device is designed to replace larger buffer solutions in space-constrained environments.
