General Description

The 8V44N4614 is a FemtoClock® NG Clock Generator. The device

has been designed for frequency generation in high-performance

systems such wireless base-band boards, for instance to drive the

reference clock inputs of processors, PHY, switch and SerDes

devices. The device is very flexible in frequency programming. It

allows to generate the clock frequencies of 156.25MHz, 125MHz,

100MHz and 25MHz individually at three output banks. One output

bank supports configurable LVDS, LVPECL, the other two output

banks support LVCMOS output levels. All outputs are synchronized

on the incident rising edge, regardless of the selected output

frequency. Selective single-ended LVCMOS outputs can be

configured to invert the output phase, effectively forming differential

LVCMOS output pairs for noise reduction. The PLL reference signal

is either a 25MHz, 50MHz, 100MHz or 200MHz differential or

single-ended clock.

The device is optimized to deliver excellent period and cycle-to-cycle

jitter performance, combined with good phase noise performance,

and high power supply noise rejection.

The device is configured through an SPI serial interface. Outputs can

be configured to any of the available output frequencies. Two

hardware pins are available for selecting pre-set output enable/

disable configurations. In each of these pre-set configurations, each

output can be enabled/disabled individually. A separate test mode is

available for an increase or decrease of the output frequencies in

19.53125ppm steps independent on the input frequency. The device

is packaged in a lead-free (RoHS 6) 48-lead VFQFN package. The

extended temperature range supports wireless infrastructure,

telecommunication and networking end equipment requirements
