SN65LVP17DRFR

Overview

The SN65LVP17DRFR is a high-frequency oscillator gain stage and buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates on a single 2.5-V or 3.3-V supply voltage and supports clock rates up to 2 GHz. The device features fully differential inputs and provides low-voltage PECL outputs. Key electrical parameters include a typical intrinsic phase jitter of 0.11 ps, propagation delay times ranging from 460 ps to 630 ps, and output transition times of 140 ps. It is housed in an 8-pin WSON (DRF) package with dimensions of 2 mm x 2 mm and is characterized for operation over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports clock signal amplification with extremely low intrinsic phase jitter for high-speed timing applications.
• Provides low-voltage PECL outputs suitable for direct interfacing with LVPECL loads.
• Features fully differential inputs to enhance noise immunity and signal integrity.

Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring signal buffering and amplification.
• High-speed serial link interfaces utilizing LVPECL signaling standards.
• Test and measurement equipment demanding precise clock generation and low jitter performance.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DRFR against current Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the tape and reel packaging configuration. Ensure that the component status remains active for production use before finalizing procurement plans. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to validate all electrical specifications against the latest published data.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fully differential input is required alongside low-voltage PECL outputs. It is appropriate for designs needing oscillator gain stages capable of handling frequencies up to 2 GHz. Consider the 2-mm x 2-mm WSON package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and PCB layout requirements during the design phase.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SN65LVx17 family of high-frequency oscillators and buffers. It shares architectural similarities with the SN65LVDS17 but differs in its output signaling standard, providing PECL rather than LVDS. The family is designed for applications requiring robust clock signal conditioning and amplification in compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

The SN65LVDS17DRFR serves as a functional alternative within the same package if LVDS outputs are acceptable instead of PECL. Verify pin compatibility and output voltage levels carefully when substituting between these variants.
