AK8160B2

Overview

The AK8160B2 is a clock generator integrated circuit manufactured by Asahi Kasei Microdevices. It operates as a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) device capable of generating output frequencies up to 100MHz. The component is housed in a 20-WFQFN package with an exposed pad, designed for surface-mount installation. This specific model functions as a single-output clock generator intended for applications requiring precise timing signals.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a Phase-Locked Loop circuit for stable frequency generation
• Designed for low power consumption suitable for portable electronics
• Utilizes a compact 20-lead Wide Flat No-Lead package

Applications

• PCI Express clock generation
• Portable electronic devices
• General digital system timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact manufacturer part number against official datasheets before procurement. Confirm that the 20-WFQFN package matches the design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the required 100MHz maximum frequency specification. Check for any specific ordering suffixes that may alter electrical characteristics or packaging details. Validate RoHS compliance status through current documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-output PLL clock generator is required for systems operating at frequencies up to 100MHz. Consider the 20-WFQFN package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the device's specifications for portable applications. Ensure the input reference clock capabilities align with the system architecture.

Part Context

The AK8160B2 belongs to the AK81xx series of clock generators from Asahi Kasei Microdevices. These devices are engineered to provide low jitter and low power performance for various digital interfaces. The series supports multiple output configurations, with the B2 variant specifically offering a single output channel within a compact footprint.

Replacement Considerations

The AK8160BV2 is documented as a related low-power, low-jitter clock generator for PCI Express applications. Verify pinout and electrical parameter compatibility before substitution.
