SN65LVP18DRFR

Overview

The SN65LVP18DRFR 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 within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features a single-ended Low-Voltage PECL input and provides both LVDS and LVPECL outputs. It supports clock rates up to 1 GHz with typical intrinsic phase jitter of 0.12 ps. The package is a compact 2-mm x 2-mm WSON-8 (DRF) with nine pins, including dedicated pins for enable control, ground, power, and a voltage reference.

Feature Summary

• Supports clock signal amplification with low intrinsic phase jitter
• Provides PECL-to-LVDS translation capabilities
• Features configurable output amplitude via Gain Control pin

Applications

• Clock distribution networks
• High-speed serial communication systems
• Oscillator buffering stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current Package Option Addendum to ensure correct packaging and material specifications. Confirm that the DRF package designation matches the required surface-mount footprint for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and lead finish details in the latest datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended PECL input must be converted to differential LVDS or LVPECL signals. Ensure the system design accommodates the specific VCC requirements of either 2.5 V or 3.3 V. Verify that the 2-mm x 2-mm WSON-8 package dimensions fit within the available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVx18 family of oscillator gain stages. It shares functional similarities with the SN65LVDS18 but differs in its input type, utilizing single-ended inputs instead of differential ones. It is designed specifically for applications requiring clock signal amplification and format translation in high-speed digital environments.

Replacement Considerations

The SN65LVDS18DRFR serves as a direct alternative if differential input functionality is acceptable. For devices requiring fully differential inputs, consider the SN65LVP19 series. Always verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting.
