PL133-37TC

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The PL133-37TC 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 drive strength of 12 mA. The device operates on a single power supply between 1.62 V and 3.63 V, consuming as little as 0.6 mA at 1.8 V. Designed for high-performance applications, it features very low jitter and phase noise. The component is housed in a compact 6-lead SOT-23 package (3 mm x 3 mm) and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Provides three inverted LVCMOS outputs with 12 mA drive strength
• Supports input frequencies from 1 MHz to 150 MHz
• Accepts both LVCMOS and sine wave input signals via internal AC coupling
• Operates on a single 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V ±10% power supply

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

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

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'TC' confirms the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and standard bag packaging. Ensure the specific revision matches the required datasheet version DS20006403A. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation prior to procurement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select the PL133-37TI variant if the application requires an extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. Choose the '-R' suffix for tape and reel packaging instead of the standard bag configuration. Ensure the design accommodates the internally AC-coupled input requirements for sine wave signals.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

The PL133-37 belongs to the PL133 series of advanced fanout buffers designed for small form-factor applications. This specific model represents the commercial grade version packaged in a 6-lead SOT-23. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy components requiring low-power clock distribution with inverted output logic.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

The PL133-37TI is the industrial temperature equivalent. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications against existing designs when substituting.
