1:2 fanout buffer for 3 GHz clock distribution
The Renesas 854S712AKILF is a 1:2 fanout buffer designed to distribute high-frequency clock or data signals with minimal additive jitter. It accepts differential input standards — CML, LVDS, or LVPECL — and outputs a clean LVDS copy on each of the two channels, making it a straightforward choice for splitting a reference clock to multiple SerDes, FPGA, or converter devices on the same board. Rated for a maximum frequency of 3 GHz, this buffer covers common reference clocks for high-speed serial links. The industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) suits outdoor telecom cabinets and factory-floor equipment.
Lifecycle and supply posture
The 854S712AKILF carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, so there is no last-time-buy pressure and no imminent EOL notice. Renesas continues to manufacture this part through its standard wafer fab and assembly lines. For a BOM line that needs a known-good 1:2 LVDS fanout buffer, this part is a stable, long-availability choice — no need to stockpile or qualify a second source today.
