9FGL0631AKILFT

Overview

The 9FGL0631AKILFT is a clock generator and support product manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It is designed for PCI Express (PCIe) applications, supporting Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 standards. The device features a low-power architecture with an operating supply voltage range of 1.425V to 1.575V. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 24-VFQFPN package with exposed pad.

Feature Summary

• Supports PCIe Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 clock generation
• Low power consumption with 1.5V supply operation
• Integrated PLL for frequency synthesis
• Available in 24-VFQFPN surface-mount package

Applications

• PCI Express Gen 1/2/3 clock distribution systems
• Server and storage backplane designs
• High-speed data acquisition equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AKILFT' against the official Renesas datasheet to confirm pinout, packaging, and RoHS compliance status. Check current availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary. Ensure the component meets the required thermal and electrical specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated PCIe clock generator with integrated PLL is required for Gen 1 through Gen 3 interfaces. Compare output drive strength and jitter performance against alternative Renesas models like the 9FGV series if different output configurations are needed. Verify that the 24-pin VFQFPN package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas 9FGL series of low-power clock generators. It is distinct from buffer-only devices like the 9DBU series or mux-based components like the 9DMU series. The 9FGL series is specifically optimized for synthesizing clocks for high-speed serial interfaces such as PCIe.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the Renesas product selection guide for direct replacements within the 9FGL family. Cross-reference with the 9FGV series for similar functionality but potentially different output counts or voltage levels. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution.
