Renesas Electronics Corporation

Renesas’ Timing product portfolio has been acquired by SiTime.

Datasheets, documentation, and sample orders remain available on Renesas.com through late 2026. For new designs, purchasing, support, and product inquiries, visit SiTime.com or send an email to SalesClocks@sitime.com. Full transition to SiTime is expected by late 2026.

Features

  • Proactive Power Saving (PPS) features save power during the end device power-down mode
  • Dynamic Frequency Control (DFC) feature allows programming up to 2 different configurations that switch dynamically
  • Programmable output clock amplitude (1.0V, 1.1V, 1.2V, and 1.8V) to support low output swing clock requirement
  • Dedicated 32kHz output with 8 options clock amplitude (5X1503L)
  • Spread spectrum compatible; tracks spreading input clock for low EMI (5X1503S)
  • Integrated crystal for no external input source requirement
  • User configurable through I²C or OTP programming
  • Supported by Renesas' Timing Commander™ software tool

Description

The 5X1503 is a series of small form factor programmable clock generators intended for low-power, consumer, battery-powered applications, wearables, and smart devices.

The device is a 1 PLL + DCO architecture design with one embedded crystal. The device is OTP programmable, allowing for up to three unique frequency outputs. The 5X1503 has built-in unique features such as Proactive Power Saving (PPS) and a low-power DCO to support system date/time keeping clock at 32.768kHz. Dynamic Frequency Control (DFC) supports dynamically changing between four different PLL frequencies via external requests with controlled frequency changes, reducing frequency overshoot and undershoot (ORT). The 5X1503S device can also support a spread clock for EMI reduction.

An internal OTP memory allows the user to store up to four independent configurations that can be loaded on power-up without programming. It can then be reprogrammed again through the I²C interface.

The 5X1503 supports three LVCMOS type outputs. Two outputs have programmable amplitude. A low-power 32.768kHz clock is supported with only less than 1.5μA current consumption for system RTC reference clock needs.

This device is factory-configurable.

  1. Do you provide CAD files for your timing products?

    I'm using the 5X1503-000NLGI in a new design.  We are creating a pcb footprint for this part but need some clarification on the package drawing.  I am wondering where I can find the CAD files for this and other devices.
