8-Output AutoClock Programmable Clock Generator Evaluation Board

The RC21214-EVB evaluation board is designed for evaluating the RC21214 clock generator in synthesizer mode for commercial automotive applications and PCIe Gen 1-6 compliance. 

When the board is connected via USB to the computer running the Renesas Integrated Circuit Toolbox (RICBox™) software, the RC21214 can be configured at various frequencies with best-in-class commercial performance. The board can function in the temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and is capable of operating in V_DD values of 3.3V. 2.5V, and 1.8V.

The RC21214 offers various features with a total of 8 pairs of differential outputs. Each pair of outputs can be programmed to LVCMOS, LVDS, and LP-HCSL style outputs. There are seven general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs) and two general-purpose inputs (GPIs) to support output enables, configuration selection, and status outputs. Voltage levels can be set by jumpers. The RC21214 is ISO 9001 compliant, AEC-Q100 qualified, and provides support for the production part approval process (PPAP).
