AM9516A-8JC

Overview

The AM9516A-8JC is a high-speed clock generator and jitter cleaner manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It features an on-chip voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) capable of generating frequencies up to 1800 MHz. The device supports multiple output configurations, including LVPECL, LVDS, and HSTL, with up to 14 outputs available depending on the specific variant. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and requires a 3.3 V power supply. The component is housed in a 64-pin LFCSP package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated high-frequency on-chip VCO for precise clock generation
• Multiple differential and single-ended output interface options
• Jitter cleaning capabilities for signal integrity improvement

Applications

• High-speed serial communication systems
• Data converter clocking applications
• FPGA and ASIC synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required output types and packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may vary. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-jitter clock source with flexible output interfaces is required. Ensure the system design accommodates the 3.3 V supply voltage and the thermal requirements of the LFCSP package. Verify that the maximum output frequency meets the target application's bandwidth needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD9516 family of clock generators. It is designed for applications requiring high-performance clock distribution and jitter attenuation. The AM9516A series provides a solution for synchronizing high-speed data converters and digital logic components in complex electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the AD9516 family, such as the AD9516-1, AD9516-2, or AD9516-3, which offer different output counts and interface options. Cross-referencing pinouts and electrical specifications is essential when substituting with similar devices from other manufacturers.
