Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official Renesas documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact package type and temperature grade required for your design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lifecycle stage before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require a single-clock source with four differential outputs. Consider the 312.5MHz maximum frequency limit and the specific input/output voltage levels. Evaluate the thermal performance requirements associated with the 32-VFQFN package. Confirm that the power supply constraints align with the 2.375V to 3.465V operating range specified for reliable operation.

Part Context

This device belongs to the FemtoClock NG series, which focuses on low-phase-noise clock generation solutions. The series is engineered to meet the stringent jitter requirements of modern high-speed serial interfaces. The 8V41N004 variant specifically addresses designs needing a single input converted to multiple synchronized outputs, reducing board space compared to discrete oscillator solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Renesas substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic clock generators may not match the specific jitter performance or input/output standard compatibility. Verify package dimensions and pin assignments if considering cross-brand replacements to ensure mechanical fit.
