AK8111

Overview

The AK8111 is a single clock generator integrated circuit manufactured by Asahi Kasei Microdevices. It operates at a fixed frequency of 24.576 MHz and utilizes Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) technology for signal generation. The device is housed in a compact 6-lead Small Outline Package (SOP) or 6-SMD Flat Lead configuration, suitable for space-constrained applications requiring precise timing signals.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a single-channel clock generator with PLL functionality
• Provides stable 24.576 MHz output frequency
• Available in compact surface-mount package options

Applications

• Digital audio systems requiring precise clock synchronization
• Embedded controllers needing dedicated timing sources
• Consumer electronics utilizing standard audio sampling rates

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant (6-SMD Flat Leads vs. 6-SOP) against design requirements. Confirm that the fixed 24.576 MHz frequency aligns with system timing needs. Ensure RoHS compliance status matches environmental regulations. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency clock source is required without programmability. Consider the 24.576 MHz output for audio-centric designs. Evaluate board space constraints due to the small footprint. Compare against other AKM clock generators if variable frequencies are needed.

Part Context

AKM produces various timing solutions including oscillators and PLLs. The AK8111 belongs to their single clock generator series. These devices support digital signal processing applications. The company emphasizes reliability in mixed-signal semiconductor manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives from AKM's catalog. Verify frequency stability and phase noise specifications match original requirements. Ensure package dimensions allow for physical substitution without PCB redesign.
