SN65LVP16DRFR

Overview

The SN65LVP16DRFT is a high-frequency oscillator gain stage and buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates on a single 2.375-V to 3.6-V supply, typically 2.5 V or 3.3 V. The device features a single-ended Low-Voltage PECL input and provides both differential LVPECL outputs (Y and Z) and a single-ended Q output with adjustable gain control. It supports clock rates up to 2 GHz with a typical intrinsic phase jitter of 0.11 ps. Propagation delay ranges from 340 ps to 630 ps, and transition times are 140 ps maximum. It is housed in an 8-pin WSON package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports clock signal amplification for frequencies up to 2 GHz
• Provides low-voltage PECL input and LVPECL outputs
• Features adjustable gain control on the Q output terminal

Applications

• Clock distribution networks
• Oscillator gain stages
• High-speed digital systems requiring LVPECL signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DRFT corresponds to the 250-unit small tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the RoHS compliance status and lead finish material match the project requirements. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system's power delivery network specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended PECL input must be converted to differential LVPECL signals with gain adjustment capabilities. Consider the 2-mm x 2-mm WSON package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the thermal dissipation characteristics against the ambient operating conditions to ensure reliable performance at high clock frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS16/SN65LVP16 family of oscillator gain stages. It shares the same physical footprint and pinout as the SN65LVDS16, which differs primarily in providing LVDS outputs instead of LVPECL outputs. The DRFT suffix indicates a specific surface-mount reel packaging option distinct from other variants like the DRFR large reel.

Replacement Considerations

The SN65LVDS16DRFT serves as a functional alternative if LVDS outputs are acceptable instead of LVPECL. Verify that the receiving circuitry supports the respective output voltage levels and impedance matching requirements for either protocol.
