Low-jitter clock devices geared for cost-sensitive designs

Integrated Device Technology Inc. (IDT) has announced additional six products in its portfolio of VersaClock 5 family of low-power field-programmable clock generators. According to the company, the devices offer industry-leading capabilities in multiple configurations to match varying application types.

By having different numbers and types of outputs, the products are geared to meet specific engineering needs, providing a complete clock tree while removing unnecessary outputs and expense.

IDT's multi-output timing solutions consolidate system components with superior design flexibility, making them ideal for cost-sensitive, low-power consumer and low-jitter communications applications. The initial 5P49V5901 VersaClock 5 offering features four universal output pairs capable of producing four independent programmable frequencies up to 350MHz with programmable output types of LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL and LVCMOS and with industry-leading jitter performance of only 0.7psec RMS phase jitter at 30mA core current consumption.

The devices offer universal outputs as well as versions with LVCMOS-only outputs, all capable of generating any output frequency up to 350MHz with the same jitter performance and core current consumption.

The 5P49V5913 and 5P49V5914 devices have two and three universal outputs, respectively, along with a reference output, enabling customers to get the exact functionality they need on their systems in the most cost effective manner. The 5P49V5923, 5P49V5925, 5P49V5927, 5P49V5929 have three, five, seven and nine LVCMOS outputs, respectively, replacing multiple LVCMOS crystal oscillators with a low-cost, low-power single-device solution saving board space and expense.

All VersaClock 5 devices are available priced from $1 to $4.5 in 1K volumes.
