PLL Clock Generator IC 230MHz 1 24-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width)
NRND750 in stock

Overview

The CDCE949PW is a modular, PLL-based programmable clock generator designed to provide flexible frequency synthesis for high-performance systems. It features an integrated EEPROM for non-volatile storage of configuration data and supports up to nine LVCMOS outputs derived from a single input source.

Why Choose This Part

The IC offers excellent flexibility with in-system programmability via I2C and an integrated EEPROM for stand-alone operation. Its 1.8V core voltage minimizes power consumption, while the ability to generate 0ppm clock signals and apply SSC modulation simplifies EMI compliance and system timing design.

Applications

Digital Video Systems
Generating precise pixel and reference clocks for video processing and display interfaces.
Embedded Computing
Providing multiple synchronized clock signals for processors, memory controllers, and peripherals in compact designs.
Consumer Electronics
Utilizing Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-speed digital products.
Communication Equipment
Acting as a centralized frequency source for networking hardware requiring stable LVCMOS clock outputs up to 230MHz.
