Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Procurement should focus on verifying the authenticity of remaining stock from authorized distributors or third-party suppliers. Ensure that any sourced units are free from damage and match the original specifications, as availability is limited and subject to market conditions.

Selection Notes

Engineers requiring this specific part must consider its obsolete status when designing new products. The primary selection criterion involves identifying available legacy stock or transitioning to newer compatible devices. Verify package compatibility and electrical parameters against current design requirements before sourcing.

Part Context

The ZL30136GGG belongs to the ZL30136 family of network synchronizers. It was produced by Micrel, which was later acquired by Microchip Technology. The device serves as a specialized solution for clock distribution and synchronization in high-speed serial communication networks, particularly where precise timing alignment is critical.

Replacement Considerations

The direct replacement part number is ZL30136GGG2. This updated version maintains functional compatibility while addressing manufacturing updates. Designers should verify pinout and electrical characteristics between the GGG and GGG2 suffixes to ensure seamless integration into existing systems.
