Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Zarlink documentation to confirm functional specifications and pinout compatibility. Ensure that the procurement source provides valid traceability for this obsolete component. Cross-reference technical parameters such as operating voltage and frequency range with current design requirements before integration into new hardware projects.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed divide-by-16 prescaler is required for frequencies up to 6GHz. Consider the 8-SOIC package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate power consumption relative to the 3.45V supply requirement. Confirm availability through authorized channels due to the component's obsolete status, ensuring long-term supply chain stability for production needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Zarlink family of RF miscellaneous integrated circuits. It is specifically categorized under RF ICs and Modules. The device serves niche applications requiring precise frequency division in radio frequency environments. Its classification highlights its role in specialized wireless and communication hardware rather than general-purpose computing or standard logic functions.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, direct replacements may require functional equivalence analysis. Consult official distributor databases for cross-reference lists or contact the manufacturer for recommended alternatives compatible with the 8-SOIC package and 6GHz frequency range.
