Product Description

The PI6LC4840 is an LC VCO based low phase noise design in- tended for the most demanding Ethernet applications. Common Ethernet frequencies of 25MHz and 125MHz are supported, with the 125Mhz having both LVDS and LVCMOS outputs for maximum flexibility. One 25Mhz LVCMOS non-PLL output is also available. 

Features

  • 3.3V supply voltage ± 5% Î Three banks of outputs:
       - Bank A: 3 25/50MHz pin selectable LVCMOS outputs
       - Bank B: 3 125MHz LVCMOS outputs
       - Bank C: 3 125MHz LVDS outputs
  • 1 25MHz LVCMOS reference clock output (no PLL)
  • 25MHz crystal input (SaRonix-eCera P/N FL2500029)
  • Low 1ps max 12k-20MHz integrated phase noise design (for 125MHz CMOS and LVDS outputs)
  • Industrial temperature -40°C to 85°C
  • Package (Pb-free & Green)

       - 32-contact 5x5mm TQFN (ZH)

PI6LC4840 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.
