What this part is and where it fits
The W152-11X is a PLL-based zero delay buffer from the Spread Aware™ series, designed to regenerate a clock signal with deterministic phase alignment. It accepts a single-ended input and distributes it to eight outputs (1:8 ratio) at frequencies up to 140 MHz. The part operates from a 2.97 V to 3.63 V supply and is housed in a 16-SOIC package. Typical applications include clock distribution on PC motherboards, graphics cards, networking equipment, and any digital board where a clean, low-skew copy of a reference clock is needed across multiple loads.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The W152-11X is listed as Active in production — no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is currently in effect. It is RoHS non-compliant, so verify your BOM's environmental compliance requirements before specifying.
