ZL40216LDF1

Overview

The ZL40216LDF1 is a low-skew clock driver manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for high-speed communication systems requiring low-jitter clock distribution. It functions as a 1:6 LVDS fanout buffer with integrated termination. The device supports a maximum input frequency of 750 MHz and features a maximum propagation delay of 2 ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.465 V and is housed in a QFN-32 package. The component is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides one-to-six LVDS fanout buffering capability
• Features integrated termination resistors
• Delivers low skew and low jitter performance

Applications

• High-speed communication systems
• Low-jitter clock distribution networks
• Data acquisition equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and ordering suffixes to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm that the QFN-32 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint specifications. Check humidity sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles against your manufacturing process standards before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single clock source must drive six distinct LVDS loads simultaneously. It is suitable for designs prioritizing signal integrity through low skew characteristics. Ensure the system power supply remains within the specified 2.375 V to 3.465 V range to maintain optimal timing performance across the industrial temperature spectrum.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZL402xx series of clock buffers from Microchip Technology. These devices are engineered to distribute reference clocks to multiple downstream components while maintaining precise timing relationships. The series offers various output configurations to accommodate different system architectures requiring robust clock distribution solutions.

Replacement Considerations

The ZL40215LDF1 serves as a substitute offering four outputs instead of six. The ZL40217LDG1 provides six outputs but utilizes a QFN-32 package with external termination options rather than integrated ones.
