Renesas 83023AMILFT

Overview

83023AMILFT from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a dual 1-to-1 differential-to-LVCMOS translator/buffer IC designed for high-fidelity clock signal conversion in timing-critical systems. It accepts LVDS, LVPECL, LVHSTL, SSTL, and HCSL differential inputs and delivers two low-skew LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs at up to 350 MHz, with 60 ps max output skew and 0.14 ps typical additive phase jitter - deployed in FPGA clock distribution, telecom line cards, and high-speed data acquisition.

For engineers reviewing the 83023AMILFT datasheet, 83023AMILFT pinout, 83023AMILFT application, or 83023AMILFT equivalent, this device serves as a precision, single-supply (3.3 V), space-constrained solution for translating diverse differential clock sources into clean, synchronized single-ended timing signals while maintaining tight skew and ultra-low jitter performance across industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).

Technical Context

The 83023AMILFT implements a fully differential input stage with internal 51 kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors on each CLK/nCLK pair, enabling direct interface with multiple industry-standard differential signaling families without external biasing in many cases. Its output stage drives LVCMOS/LVTTL loads with 7 Ω typical output impedance and supports 45–57% duty cycle over full frequency range.

It operates exclusively from a 3.3 V ±0.3 V supply, draws 20 mA typical supply current, and features guaranteed AC performance including 2.1 ns typical propagation delay, 500 ps max part-to-part skew, and validated operation across -40°C to +85°C ambient - all in an 8-lead SOIC (M package, 3.8 mm × 4.8 mm) with JEDEC MS-012 compliance.

FAQ

What differential input standards does the 83023AMILFT support?

The 83023AMILFT supports LVDS, LVPECL, LVHSTL, SSTL, and HCSL differential inputs. Its input stage accommodates common-mode voltages from GND+0.5 V to VDD−0.85 V and peak-to-peak swings from 0.15 V to 1.3 V. Each CLK/nCLK pair includes internal 51 kΩ pullup or pulldown resistors, simplifying interface design without external bias networks in most standard configurations.

Does the 83023AMILFT require external termination resistors?

The 83023AMILFT does not require external termination resistors for standard LVDS or LVPECL inputs due to its internal 51 kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors on each differential input pair. However, for non-standard driver types or marginal signal integrity, external 100 Ω differential termination may still be recommended per Figure 2A–2E in the datasheet. Always verify termination against the specific driver's datasheet.

What is the maximum guaranteed output skew between Q0 and Q1 on the 83023AMILFT?

The 83023AMILFT guarantees maximum output skew of 60 ps between Q0 and Q1 under matched load conditions and equal supply voltage, as defined in JEDEC Standard 65. This specification holds across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (3.0 V to 3.6 V), ensuring deterministic timing for dual-channel synchronous systems.

Can unused inputs on the 83023AMILFT be left floating?

Yes - unused CLK/nCLK inputs on the 83023AMILFT can be left floating. The datasheet explicitly states that for non-differential applications, both CLK and nCLK pins may float. For enhanced ESD protection, a 1 kΩ resistor from CLK to GND is optional but not required. Unused Q0/Q1 outputs may also float with no trace attached.

Is the 83023AMILFT pin-compatible with earlier IDT 83023I variants?

Yes - the 83023AMILFT is pin-compatible with all 83023I family members, including 83023AMILF and 83023I. All share identical SOIC-8 (M package) pinout, electrical characteristics, and thermal profile. The "MILFT" suffix denotes lead-free tape-and-reel packaging; no changes to functionality, timing, or layout are required when migrating from prior variants.
