ASNT1016-PQA

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The ADSANTEC ASNT1016-PQA is a 16:1 multiplexer with an integrated clock multiplication unit (CMU). It serializes 16 parallel data channels into a high-speed serial bit stream operating between 9.8 Gbps and 12.5 Gbps. The device features reconfigurable LVDS, CML, or ECL input buffers and utilizes a PLL-based architecture with selectable VCOs. Power consumption is 660 mW at maximum speed. It operates on a single +3.3V supply within an industrial temperature range of -25°C to 125°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Integrated CMU with PLL1 and PLL2 supporting forward and counter-clocking modes
• Reconfigurable differential inputs compatible with LVDS, CML, and ECL standards
• Dual output clock buffers providing full-rate CML and divided LVDS signals
• Low power consumption of 660 mW at 12.5 Gbps

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-speed serial data transmission systems
• Point-to-point data transfer over controlled impedance media
• Clock distribution and synchronization in digital circuits

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix PQA corresponds to the 100-pin QFN package configuration. Confirm that external filtering capacitors are included in the system design, as the datasheet specifies a 1nF capacitor for PLL1 and a 47nF capacitor for PLL2. Ensure the application environment supports the specified industrial temperature range.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16:1 serialization ratio is required with data rates up to 12.5 Gbps. It is suitable for designs needing flexible input interface compatibility (LVDS/CML/ECL) and integrated clock cleaning via the secondary PLL. Consider the 100-pin QFN footprint and thermal management requirements for the exposed pad during PCB layout.
