AD9516-1BCPZ-REEL7

Overview

The AD9516-1BCPZ-REEL7 is a 14-output clock generator featuring an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with a tuning range of 2.30 GHz to 2.65 GHz. It provides six LVPECL outputs operating up to 1.6 GHz and four LVDS outputs operating up to 800 MHz, which can be reconfigured as eight CMOS outputs up to 250 MHz. The device supports a single 3.3 V supply and operates within the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. It utilizes a 64-lead LFCSP package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated on-chip VCO tunes from 2.30 GHz to 2.65 GHz
• Six pairs of LVPECL outputs (up to 1.6 GHz) and four pairs of LVDS outputs (up to 800 MHz)
• LVDS outputs configurable as CMOS outputs (up to 250 MHz) with fine delay adjust
• Additive output jitter of 225 fs rms for LVPECL and 275 fs rms for LVDS

Applications

• Low jitter, low phase noise clock distribution
• Clocking high-speed ADCs, DACs, DDSs, DDCs, DUCs, and MxFE
• High-performance wireless transceivers
• ATE and high-performance instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the REEL7 suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the specific -1 variant requirements against the datasheet specifications. Ensure compatibility with the 64-lead LFCSP footprint during procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring subpicosecond jitter performance and multiple differential output formats. Verify that the required output frequencies fall within the specified limits for LVPECL, LVDS, or CMOS configurations. Check power supply constraints for the 3.3 V nominal operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD9516 family of clock generators. The -1 suffix denotes the specific variant with an integrated VCO tuned between 2.30 GHz and 2.65 GHz. Other variants in the family may feature different VCO ranges or external VCO support.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the AD9516 family include parts with similar output counts but potentially different VCO frequency ranges. Verify pinout and register compatibility before replacing with other AD9516 series members.

FAQ

Can the LVDS outputs be used as CMOS outputs?

Yes, each of the four LVDS output pairs can be reconfigured as two separate 250 MHz CMOS outputs.

What is the maximum input frequency for the reference inputs?

The reference inputs accept LVPECL, LVDS, or CMOS signals with a maximum frequency of 250 MHz.

Does the device support external VCOs?

Yes, an external VCO or VCXO with a frequency up to 2.4 GHz can be used optionally.
