Programmable clock generator with integrated crystal

IDT has introduced new versions of its VersaClock 5 programmable clock generators, featuring built-in crystals for a simpler, cost-effective approach to electronic systems timing. The 5P49V5933 and 5P49V5935, which come in 4 x 4mm packages, are said to reduce board space and cost through the integration of a crystal.

VersaClock 5 programmable timing devices feature jitter performance at half the power of competing devices and offer universal output pairs that are independently configurable as LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, or dual LVCMOS. They also feature a core current consumption of 30mA.

The 5P49V5933 can generate two output frequencies, while the 5P49V5935 generates up to four. A 700fsec RMS phase jitter performance enables customers to meet the requirements of 1G/10G Ethernet and PCI Express Gen 1, 2, 3, along with other high-performance interconnects, and meet the clock generation requirements for SoCs and FPGAs.
