8N3DV85FC-0164CDI

Overview

The 8N3DV85FC-0164CDI is a programmable FemtoClock clock generator manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It belongs to the 8N3DV85 series, designed for low-jitter clock distribution in high-speed digital systems. The device supports multiple output configurations and includes features such as spread spectrum clocking (SSC) capability to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Specific electrical parameters, pinout details, and exact frequency ranges are defined in the official datasheet.

Feature Summary

• Programmable FemtoClock architecture for precise jitter attenuation
• Integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with PLL synthesis
• Supports multiple output formats including LVPECL, LVDS, and HCSL
• Spread spectrum clocking functionality for EMI reduction

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces
• Data converter clocking systems
• FPGA and ASIC synchronization
• Telecommunications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'CDI' against the manufacturer's current naming convention, as similar models like 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI and 8N3DV85FC-0134CDI8 exist in public records. Confirm availability status, as several variants in this family are marked as obsolete or have restricted supply. Request the latest datasheet and PCN documents directly from Renesas or authorized distributors to ensure component authenticity and process change compliance.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on required output count, format compatibility (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL), and specific jitter performance metrics. Ensure the input reference frequency matches the device's supported range. Verify package type and thermal requirements for the target PCB layout. Compare against other 8N3DV85 variants if different output configurations or packaging options are needed.

Part Context

This part is part of Renesas' FemtoClock family, which specializes in low-phase-noise clock generation. The 8N3DV85 series typically offers flexible configuration via I2C/SMBus interface. It is designed to replace fixed-frequency oscillators in applications requiring precise timing and jitter cleaning capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 8N3DV85 series variants with compatible output configurations. Check for pin-to-pin replacements within the same package footprint. Verify that any alternative device meets the same jitter specifications and output drive strength requirements.
