What this PLL clock generator does
The Renesas 8V97053LNLGI is a single-circuit PLL clock generator that takes an LVCMOS reference input and produces a differential LVCMOS output pair. It is designed for high-frequency synthesis up to 4.4 GHz, making it suitable for clock distribution in microwave backhaul, 5G base stations, test instrumentation, and high-speed data converters where low-jitter differential clocks are required. The 1:2 input-to-output ratio means one reference fans out to two synchronized differential outputs.
Supply and temperature — where it fits
The part operates from a 3.135 V to 3.465 V supply. The industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C covers outdoor telecom cabinets.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The 8V97053LNLGI is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. For a BOM line that needs a high-frequency PLL with differential output, this part is a current-production choice — no last-time-buy urgency.
