Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LDG1' against the official Microchip datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check moisture sensitivity levels (MSL) prior to surface mount assembly. Confirm that the QFN-16 footprint matches the design layout requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-skew 1:4 distribution of LVPECL signals is required. Compare against similar models like the ZL40202LDG1 if a different output count or input/output ratio is needed. Verify that the 750 MHz frequency limit meets the system clock requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZL402xx series of clock buffers from Microchip Technology. These devices are engineered for low jitter and precise timing distribution in digital systems. The LDG1 suffix typically denotes a specific package type and temperature range variant within the product line.

Replacement Considerations
