341MPLF

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Overview

The ICS341MPLF is a single-output, field-programmable clock synthesizer from the Renesas VersaClock series. It generates output frequencies ranging from 250 kHz to 200 MHz using Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques. The device supports Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). It operates on a 3.3V supply voltage and accepts input clocks or crystals between 5 MHz and 27 MHz. Packaged in an 8-SOIC format, it replaces multiple discrete oscillators to save board space.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Feature Summary

• Field programmability via One-Time Programmable (OTP) ROM with four selectable configuration registers
• Configurable Spread Spectrum Modulation for EMI reduction
• Single LVCMOS output with controllable drive levels
• Power-down feature that tri-states outputs and disables PLLs

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Applications

• Replacing multiple crystals and oscillators in embedded systems
• Generating system clocks for microprocessors and FPGAs
• Applications requiring low-cost, single-output clock synthesis

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Procurement Notes

Verify component status as obsolete or end-of-life through official Renesas channels. Confirm package type and temperature range specifications against current design requirements. Ensure programming tools are available for OTP configuration if field programmability is required.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single LVCMOS output is sufficient. Verify input frequency compatibility within the 5-27 MHz range. Consider the 8-SOIC package constraints and operating temperature limits during PCB layout.
