Active production — 2 GHz LVDS fanout buffer
The LMK1D2108RGZR is an active-production clock buffer from Texas Instruments, a 2:8 fanout device that accepts CML, HCSL, LVCMOS, LVDS, or LVPECL inputs and delivers LVDS clock outputs at up to 2 GHz. The 2:8 ratio means a single input drives eight output copies with matched skew, critical for distributing a clean reference clock across multiple high-speed converters or FPGAs on the same board.
Surface-mount tape-and-reel packaging suits automated pick-and-place assembly; the exposed pad requires a solder-paste stencil aperture matched to the pad opening for void-free reflow.
