SN65LVP16DRFT

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 voltage and accepts low-voltage PECL input signals. The device provides differential LVPECL outputs with a typical propagation delay of 460 ps and transition times of 140 ps. It features an internal voltage reference (VBB) for signal reception and includes a Gain Control (GC) pin to adjust the Q output peak-to-peak voltage between 300 mV and 860 mV. Characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, it is housed in an 8-pin WSON package.

Feature Summary

• Supports clock rates up to 2 GHz for high-speed timing applications
• Provides adjustable gain control via the GC pin for customized output swing
• Integrates an internal voltage reference (VBB) for simplified single-ended PECL interfacing

Applications

• Clock signal amplification and buffering
• Low-voltage PECL to LVDS translation
• High-frequency oscillator gain stages

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix DRFT corresponds to the specific 250-unit small tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm the component status as active production data before initiating procurement processes. Ensure the selected variant matches the required single-ended input and LVPECL output specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-ended low-voltage PECL input is required alongside differential LVPECL outputs. The inclusion of the GC pin allows for precise adjustment of the Q output amplitude. Verify that the system power supply falls within the 2.375-V to 3.6-V range and that the thermal environment supports the specified operating temperature limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SN65LVx16 family of oscillator gain stages. It shares the same physical package and core architecture as the SN65LVDS16, differing primarily in its input/output signaling standards. The SN65LVP16 specifically targets applications requiring low-voltage PECL inputs rather than the fully differential inputs found in the SN65LVDS16 or SN65LVP17 variants.

Replacement Considerations

The SN65LVDS16DRFT serves as a functional alternative if the application requires differential LVDS inputs instead of single-ended PECL inputs while maintaining identical LVPECL outputs and package dimensions.
