9FGV1004B215NBGI

Overview

The Renesas 9FGV1004B215NBGI is a programmable clock generator from the PhiClock family, designed for high-performance timing applications. It features four differential output pairs supporting LP-HCSL and LVDS signaling standards. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.71 V to 3.465 V and supports output frequencies up to 325 MHz. Key electrical specifications include a maximum input frequency of 240 MHz and a typical phase jitter of 27 ps. It is housed in a compact 24-pin VFQFPN package with dimensions of 4.0 mm x 4.0 mm.

Feature Summary

• Four programmable differential output pairs with LP-HCSL or LVDS signaling options
• Supports integer and fractional/spread-spectrum output configurations via hardware select pins or I²C
• Low phase jitter performance of 27 ps typical
• Compact 24-VFQFPN package (4.0 x 4.0 mm) suitable for space-constrained designs

Applications

• PCI Express Gen1 through Gen4 compliant systems
• High-speed data communication interfaces requiring low-jitter clocks
• Server and storage infrastructure timing solutions
• Industrial equipment requiring precise clock generation

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Renesas distributors. Confirm the specific suffix 'NBGI' corresponds to the 24-VFQFPN tray packaging format. Check for end-of-life status or alternative recommendations if current stock is limited. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal requirements for the VFQFPN-24 package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when four independent differential clock outputs are required with flexible signaling standards. The 9FGV1004 series allows configuration via two select pins or I²C, offering flexibility for multi-unit systems with unique addresses. Verify that the required output frequency falls within the 1 MHz to 325 MHz range and that the power supply constraints align with the 1.71 V to 3.465 V operating window.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Renesas PhiClock™ programmable clock generator family, which includes variants like the 9FGV1001, 9FGV1002, and 9FGV1008. These devices share common architectural features such as I²C configurability and support for PCIe jitter compliance. The 9FGV1004 specifically provides a mix of integer-related and fractional/spread-spectrum outputs, distinguishing it from models with uniform output types.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other 9FGV1004 variants with different output frequencies or packaging suffixes (e.g., LTGI for LGA). Cross-family substitution requires careful evaluation of pin compatibility and electrical parameters.
