1:8 HCSL clock buffer with integrated PLL for PCIe and Ethernet reference clocks
The Renesas 9DBV0831AKLF is a 1:8 differential clock buffer with an integrated PLL, accepting one HCSL input and delivering eight HCSL outputs. It is designed to distribute low-jitter reference clocks for PCI Express and Ethernet interfaces in servers, switches, and base stations. The PLL provides jitter attenuation, cleaning up a noisy reference before fanout. Temperature grade is commercial: 0°C to 70°C. This part is intended for indoor, controlled-environment equipment — not suitable for outdoor, industrial, or automotive use without additional qualification.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life risk for new designs
The 9DBV0831AKLF is listed as Active and ROHS3 compliant.
How it compares to nearby Renesas clock buffers
The 9DB803DFLFT is a 1:8 HCSL fanout buffer with PLL, but it runs at 400 MHz on a 3.135 V supply — a different voltage domain and higher speed tier. The 9DBL411BGLFT has no PLL and only a 1:4 fanout. It is a simpler fanout buffer, not a jitter-cleaning device.
