ZL40217LDG1

Overview

The ZL40217LDG1 is a clock fanout buffer manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for high-speed signal distribution. It features one input and six outputs with an LVDS interface and includes internal termination. The device supports a maximum input frequency of 750 MHz and exhibits a maximum propagation delay of 2 ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.465 V and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 32-pin QFN package.

Feature Summary

• Provides one-to-six LVDS fanout buffering capability
• Integrates internal termination resistors
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 750 MHz

Applications

• High-speed clock distribution networks
• Data communication systems requiring LVDS signaling
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DG1' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match the design requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards as indicated in product documentation. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly to prevent damage during manufacturing processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single LVDS source must drive multiple loads without external termination components. Consider the 32-pin QFN package size for board space constraints. Verify that the required operating temperature range and supply voltage align with system specifications before finalizing the part selection.

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 applications. The ZL40217 variant specifically targets LVDS output configurations, distinguishing it from other series members that may support PECL or CML interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Microchip cross-reference guide for verified substitutes. Direct replacements must maintain identical LVDS output configuration, 750 MHz frequency capability, and 32-pin QFN packaging to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
