Description

The 8V19N490B is a fully integrated FemtoClock® NG jitter

attenuator and clock synthesizer designed as a high-performance

clock solution for conditioning and frequency/phase management

of wireless base station radio equipment boards. The device is

optimized to deliver excellent phase noise performance as

required in GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and LTE-A radio board

implementations. The device supports JESD204B subclass 0 and

1 clocks.

A two-stage PLL architecture supports both jitter attenuation and

frequency multiplication. The first stage PLL is the jitter attenuator

and uses an external VCXO for best possible phase noise

characteristics. The second stage PLL locks on the VCXO-PLL

output signal and synthesizes the target frequency.

The device supports the clock generation of high-frequency clocks

from the selected VCO and low-frequency synchronization signals

(SYSREF). SYSREF signals are internally synchronized to the

clock signals. Delay functions exist for achieving alignment and

controlled phase delay between system reference and clock

signals and to align/delay individual output signals. The four

redundant inputs are monitored for activity. Four selectable clock

switching modes are provided to handle clock input failure

scenarios. Auto-lock, individually programmable output frequency

dividers, and phase adjustment capabilities are added for

flexibility.

The device is configured through a three-wire SPI interface and

reports lock and signal loss status in internal registers and via a

lock detect (LOCK) output. Internal status bit changes can also be

reported via the nINT output. The 8V19N490B is ideal for driving

converter circuits in wireless infrastructure, radar/imaging, and

instrumentation/medical applications. The device is a member of

the high-performance clock family from Renesas.
