9FGL0241CKILF

Overview

The 9FGL0241CKILF is a clock generator and support product manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It is designed for PCI Express (PCIe) applications, supporting low power and low voltage requirements. The device features three outputs with a maximum output frequency of 100 MHz and a maximum input frequency of 27 MHz. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V and consumes a typical operating supply current of 15 mA. The component is housed in a VFQFPN-24 package and supports surface mount installation. It exhibits a duty cycle of up to 55% and has a jitter specification of 50 ps. The operational temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports PCIe Gen 1–6 compliance with common, SRNS, and SRIS architectures
• Provides LP-HCSL and LVCMOS output signaling types
• Incorporates spread spectrum capability for EMI reduction
• Features integrated reference output functionality

Applications

• PCI Express Gen 1 through Gen 6 system designs
• SerDes clock generation for high-speed interfaces
• Low power electronic equipment requiring precise timing
• Industrial systems operating within extended temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' against official Renesas documentation to confirm pinout or electrical variations compared to standard variants. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly. Ensure the 24-VFQFPN package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding material or manufacturing site changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when PCIe Gen 1–6 compatibility is required with a 3.3V core voltage. The 1:3 input-to-output ratio suits designs needing multiple clock domains from a single source. Consider the 50 ps jitter performance for signal integrity requirements. Verify that the 100 MHz maximum frequency meets the system's bandwidth needs. Evaluate the VFQFPN-24 package size against available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 9FGL02x1 series of PCIe clock generators. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the 9FGL0441DKILF but differs in output count and specific electrical characteristics. The series is designed to meet stringent PCIe jitter standards while offering flexibility through spread spectrum and selectable output types.
