Product Description

The PI6LC4820 is an LC VCO based low phase noise design intended for 10GbE applications. Typical 10GbE usage assumes a 25Mhz crystal input, while the PLL loop is used to generate the 156.25MHz outputs. An additional buffered crystal oscillator output is provided to serve as a low noise reference for other
circuitry.

For Ethernet applications other than 10GbE, programmable dividers allow for simultaneous output of 312.5, 156.25, and 125MHz.

Features

  • 3.3V supply voltag
  • Crystal input: 25 MHz
  • Differential input: 25MHz, 156.25 MHz
  • Output frequencies of 312.5, 156.25, 125MHz supported
  • 9 LVPECL or LVDS bank selectable outputs
  • Low 1ps max integrated phase noise design (12kHz to 20MHz)
  • Optional xtal or clock input selection
  • PLL Bypass mode for test
  • Power supply noise rejection: -50 dBc typical @ 156.25 MHz
  • Packaging (Pb-free & Green): 48-lead 7×7mm TQFN

PI6LC4820 FAQs

What is LVPECL clock and its termination?

LVPECL is Low Voltage Positive (supply) Emitter Couple Logic. Its voltage level is around 2V+/-400mV and the most use termination is 150 ohm pull-down at output pin and AC or DC coupling to an equivalent 100 ohm across pair at RX ASIC side. Check ASIC datasheet  to prevent double termination.
