252M-63LF

Overview

The Renesas 252M-63LF is a low-cost, dual-output, field-programmable clock synthesizer IC module. It generates two output frequencies ranging from 314 kHz to 200 MHz using an external crystal or oscillator input. The device supports flexible frequency synthesis for system timing applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual-output clock generation capability
• Field-programmable architecture for custom frequency settings
• Wide output frequency range supporting high-speed digital systems

Applications

• System clock generation for embedded processors
• Timing synchronization in communication equipment
• Clock distribution for peripheral interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and package variant against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm end-of-life status and availability through authorized distributors, as this component may be obsolete or superseded by newer generations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent clock outputs are required within a single package. Ensure the target frequency range falls within the 314 kHz to 200 MHz specification. Verify that the field-programmable nature aligns with your production programming capabilities and inventory management strategy.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ICS252 series of clock synthesizers from Renesas Electronics (formerly Integrated Circuit Systems). These modules are designed to replace discrete clock generator solutions, offering reduced board space and simplified design processes for timing-critical applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades such as the 252M-64LF if available. Consult the manufacturer's obsolescence notices for recommended next-generation replacements that maintain similar functionality and interface specifications.
