VersaClock® 7 Programmable Clock Generator Family
Jump to Page Section:
Overview
Description
The RC21xxxA (RC21012A and RC21008A) is a member of Renesas's VersaClock® 7 programmable clock generator family. It is intended for high-performance compute, data-communications, and industrial applications, designed to be placed immediately adjacent to a PHY, switch, ASIC or FPGA that requires several reference clocks with jitter performance 150fs typical RMS.
Up to 27 configurations reusable across multiple designs may be stored in on-chip One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory or external I2C EEPROM. Redundant input available for backup and used as reference clock where needed.
Features
- 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V flexible power rails
- Typical 150fs RMS 12k-20MHz phase jitter
- 5/8/12 outputs with integrated crystal options
- 1kHz to 650MHz LVDS/LP-HCSL outputs
- 1kHz to 200MHz LVCMOS outputs
- Programmable hardware configuration select-pins
- PCIe Gen5/6 ready
- Space saving packages 4 x 4mm, 5x5 mm, 6x6 mm
- Integrated crystal option for space saving and BOM optimization
