ZL30182LFG7

Overview

The ZL30182LFG7 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 utilizes a 64-LGA (10x5) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum output frequency of 1.035 GHz and accepts input frequencies up to 1.25 GHz. It provides six outputs with selectable formats including CML, CMOS, HCSL, HSTL, LVDS, LVPECL, and SSTL. Each channel features three inputs: two differential/CMOS and one CMOS, allowing flexible clock signal translation for high-speed digital systems.
