AD9558BCPZ

Overview

The AD9558BCPZ is a quad-input multiservice line card adaptive clock translator with frame synchronization, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within an industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 64-lead LFCSP-VQ (9 mm × 9 mm) package. The device accepts input reference frequencies from 2 kHz to 1250 MHz and generates output frequencies ranging from 352 Hz to 1250 MHz. It supports multiple logic levels including CMOS, LVDS, HSTL, and LVPECL. Power supply requirements include DVDD3/AVDD3 at 3.135 V to 3.465 V and DVDD/AVDD at 1.71 V to 1.89 V.

Feature Summary

• Supports GR-1244 Stratum 3 stability in holdover mode and smooth reference switchover with minimal phase disturbance.
• Features a digital PLL with programmable loop bandwidth from 0.1 Hz to 5 kHz for jitter cleanup and synchronization.
• Includes four reference inputs and six pairs of configurable clock outputs supporting LVDS, HSTL, and CMOS standards.
• Contains on-chip EEPROM for storing multiple power-up profiles and supports software-controlled power-down.

Applications

• Network synchronization, including synchronous Ethernet and SDH to OTN mapping/demapping
• SONET/SDH/OTN clocks up to 100 Gbps, including FEC
• Stratum 3 holdover, jitter cleanup, and phase transient control
• Wireless base station controllers and cable infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix BCPZ against the manufacturer's current datasheet revision D to confirm package type and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with the required serial port interface (SPI or I²C) during procurement planning. Confirm that the 64-LFCSP-VQ package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low loop bandwidth clock multiplier is needed for systems requiring jitter cleanup and synchronization across multiple protocols. The AD9558 provides four reference inputs and flexible output configurations suitable for complex network timing applications. Consider the AD9557 if a smaller package with two inputs and two outputs is sufficient for the design constraints.

Part Context

The AD9558 belongs to the family of multiservice line card adaptive clock translators designed for high-performance network synchronization. It serves as a core timing solution for SONET/SDH and synchronous Ethernet systems. The device integrates a digital phase-locked loop and holdover circuitry to maintain low jitter output even during reference failures.

Replacement Considerations

The AD9557 is documented as a smaller package alternative offering two-input/two-output functionality for the same device architecture. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting.
