Ultra-low-jitter, ultra-small packaged clock management ICs
The design platform used on the ZL30250 and ZL30251 is very flexible with highly configurable outputs and offers automatic self-configuration at power-up. This supports up to four different configurations, selected using two device pins. This flexibility includes:
- Any-to-any frequency conversion with 0 ppm error (inputs: 10 MHz-1.25 GHz, outputs: 1 Hz-1 GHz);
- Three universal clock inputs connect to any signal format at any voltage;
- Up to three differential outputs, up to six CMOS outputs;
- Configurable output signal format and voltage for direct interface without additional components.
The ZL30250 and ZL30251 offer a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) mode in which output frequencies can be controlled with very high resolution by system software. This capability allows the devices to replace solutions using large, expensive, fixed-frequency voltage-controlled oscillators (VCXOs) with a small, low-cost, any-frequency solution.
The ICs can generate PCI Express (PCIe) clock signals with or without spread-spectrum modulation required in server, storage and communication equipment allowing system designers to comply with EMI requirements. They can be combined with Microsemi’s high-performance fan-out buffers to provide complete timing solutions for complex systems. ZL30250 and ZL30251 can accept clock signals from other Microsemi timing ICs, perform frequency conversion and output additional clock signals needed for the system design. These devices are flexible building-blocks that system designers can reuse over and over in various parts of a system design and across multiple designs.
