Overview

Description

8V19N407Z-24 is a fully integrated FemtoClock® NG Jitter Attenuator and Clock Synthesizer. The device is a high-performance clock solution for conditioning and frequency/phase management of wireless base station radio equipment boards and is optimized to deliver excellent phase noise performance. The device supports JESD204B subclass 0 and 1 clock implementations. The device is very flexible in programming of the output frequency and phase. 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 lock on the VCXO-PLL output signal and synthesizes the target frequency. The second-stage PLL use an internal VCO.

The device supports the clock generation of high-frequency clocks from the VCO and low-frequency system reference signals (SYSREF). The system reference 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 input is monitored for activity. The “hold-over” is 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 4-wire SP serial interface and reports lock and signal loss status in internal registers and optionally via an lock detect (nINT) output. The device is packaged in a lead-free (RoHS 6) 72-lead VFQFN package. The extended temperature range supports wireless infrastructure, telecommunication and networking end equipment requirements. The device is a member of the high-performance clock family from IDT.
