ZL40260QGF1

Overview

The ZL40260QGF1 is a Citrine clock buffer manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an ES4 ENGCBGA package and operates as a low-jitter fanout buffer for high-speed digital applications. The component is currently listed as obsolete with limited supply availability. Official documentation, including the datasheet, is available for technical reference.

Feature Summary

• Citrine series clock buffer architecture
• ES4 ENGCBGA package configuration
• Low jitter performance characteristics

Applications

• High-speed data communication systems
• Server and storage infrastructure timing
• Network equipment clock distribution

Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and marked as obsolete by the manufacturer. Supply is restricted, and Mouser does not currently stock this item in the region. Verification of alternative sources or lifecycle status is required before procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Designers should consider the obsolete status when selecting this part. Verify if newer Citrine family members or compatible fanout buffers meet the specific jitter and pinout requirements of the target application without redesigning the PCB layout.

Part Context

The ZL40260 belongs to the Citrine family of clock products from Microchip (formerly IDT). These devices are designed for demanding timing applications requiring precise clock distribution with minimal added jitter compared to standard fanout buffers.

Replacement Considerations

As the ZL40260QGF1 is obsolete, direct replacement requires checking pin-to-pin compatibility with current Microchip Citrine models. Functional equivalents from other manufacturers must be evaluated for jitter specs and package dimensions.
