ICS853013AMLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ICS853013AMLF is a Clock Fanout Buffer (Distribution) IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for 1:3 clock distribution with a maximum frequency of 2 GHz. This device features differential inputs and outputs, supporting multiple input standards (CML, LVDS, LVPECL, SSTL) and ECL/LVPECL outputs in a 20-SOIC package.

The ICS853013AMLF is classified as obsolete. Equivalent substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and system upgrades.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ICS853013AMLF are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Ratio - Input:Output: 1:3
• Number of Circuits: 2
• Differential - Input:Output: Yes/Yes
• Package / Case: 20-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

Allowable Variations:

• Frequency - Max: Substitute parts operating at 1 GHz are acceptable for applications not requiring the full 2 GHz bandwidth of the original part
• Input Standards: Substitute parts supporting ECL and PECL inputs are compatible with LVPECL input requirements
• Output Standards: Substitute parts with ECL and PECL outputs are compatible with the original part's output specifications
• Voltage - Supply: Substitute parts with 3V ~ 3.8V supply range operate within the lower portion of the original part's 2.375V ~ 5.25V range

The MC100LVEL13DWG and MC100LVEL13DWR2G from onsemi meet all critical matching parameters and are classified as active products with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MC100LVEL13DWG and MC100LVEL13DWR2G are active products from onsemi with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing long-term supply assurance compared to the obsolete ICS853013AMLF.

MC100LVEL13DWG (Tube Packaging): Suitable for lower-volume applications and prototype development where individual component handling is required.

MC100LVEL13DWR2G (Tape & Reel Packaging): Recommended for production environments requiring automated assembly and higher component volumes.

Both substitutes operate at 1 GHz maximum frequency, which is suitable for applications not requiring the full 2 GHz bandwidth of the original part. The reduced supply voltage range (3V ~ 3.8V versus 2.375V ~ 5.25V) requires verification that system power supply specifications are compatible. The increased moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3 versus MSL 1) necessitates appropriate handling and storage protocols during manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MC100LVEL13DWG or MC100LVEL13DWR2G directly replace ICS853013AMLF in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible if the application operates at frequencies up to 1 GHz and the system power supply is within the 3V ~ 3.8V range. The identical 1:3 ratio, 2-circuit configuration, differential input/output architecture, and 20-SOIC package ensure mechanical and functional compatibility. However, designs utilizing the full 2 GHz bandwidth or extended supply voltage range of the original part require circuit evaluation.

Q: What is the difference between MC100LVEL13DWG and MC100LVEL13DWR2G?

A: Both parts are electrically identical. The primary difference is packaging: MC100LVEL13DWG is supplied in tube packaging for manual handling, while MC100LVEL13DWR2G is supplied in tape and reel format for automated pick-and-place assembly. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and volume.

Q: Are there supply voltage compatibility concerns?

A: The substitute parts operate at 3V ~ 3.8V, which is narrower than the original part's 2.375V ~ 5.25V range. Verify that system power supplies deliver voltage within the 3V ~ 3.8V window. If the original design relies on the extended lower voltage range (below 3V), alternative substitutes may be required.

Q: What input and output standards are supported by the substitute parts?

A: The MC100LVEL13DWG and MC100LVEL13DWR2G support ECL and PECL input and output standards. These are compatible with LVPECL signals used in the original ICS853013AMLF design. However, if the original design utilizes CML, LVDS, or SSTL input standards, signal conditioning or interface verification may be necessary.

Q: How do moisture sensitivity levels affect component handling?

A: The original ICS853013AMLF has MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life), while substitutes have MSL 3 (168-hour floor life after moisture exposure). MSL 3 components require baking before reflow if exposed to ambient humidity for more than 168 hours. Implement appropriate moisture control procedures during storage and manufacturing to prevent solder joint defects.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both MC100LVEL13DWG and MC100LVEL13DWR2G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
