ZL30182LFF7

Overview

The ZL30182LFF7 is a dual-channel any-to-any clock translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 64-pin LGA (10x5 mm) package. The device supports maximum input frequencies up to 1.25 GHz and delivers output frequencies up to 1.035 GHz. It features six outputs per channel with selectable formats including CML, CMOS, HCSL, HSTL, LVDS, LVPECL, and SSTL. Each channel accommodates three inputs, allowing flexible clock routing and frequency translation for high-speed digital systems.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent channels with any-to-any frequency translation capability
• Supports up to 1.25 GHz input and 1.035 GHz output frequencies
• Configurable output drivers: CML, CMOS, HCSL, HSTL, LVDS, LVPECL, SSTL
• Three inputs per channel (two differential/CMOS, one CMOS)

Applications

• Ethernet network infrastructure
• SONET/SDH line card synchronization
• High-speed data converter clocking

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LFF7' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout, packaging dimensions, and electrical characteristics match design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before procurement. Ensure ESD protection protocols are followed during handling due to the fine-pitch LGA package.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring precise frequency translation between disparate clock domains. Verify that the required output voltage levels and drive strengths align with the available CML, LVDS, or CMOS options. Ensure the input source frequencies fall within the 1 kHz to 1250 MHz range specified for each channel.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZL30182 family of dual-channel clock translators. It is designed to replace legacy fixed-ratio clock generators in complex timing architectures. The device integrates PLLs for jitter attenuation and frequency synthesis, offering flexibility in network synchronization applications where multiple clock rates must be generated from a single reference.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate other members of the ZL3018x family or ZL3072x series only if they explicitly support identical pinouts and electrical parameters as defined in the official datasheet.
