GS4901BCNE3

Overview

The GS4901BCNE3 is an application-specific clock IC from Semtech Corporation, designed for video genlock and frequency generation. It operates as a synthesizer with a maximum frequency of 165MHz and provides one output. The device is housed in a 64-pin 64-QFN package measuring 9x9 mm. It supports a standard operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated video genlock and frequency synthesis capabilities
• Single output configuration for precise timing distribution
• Compact 64-QFN surface-mount packaging

Applications

• Video genlock synchronization systems
• Frequency generation for display interfaces
• Professional broadcast equipment timing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'BCNE3' against official Semtech documentation to confirm pinout and thermal specifications. Ensure the 64-QFN footprint matches the PCB layout requirements. Confirm that the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range meets the operational environment standards before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated single-output video genlock solution is required. The 165MHz limit defines the maximum clock speed capability. Consider the 64-pin QFN package size for board space constraints. Verify compatibility with existing system voltage levels and interface requirements against the official datasheet.

Part Context

This part belongs to Semtech's application-specific clock and timing family. These devices are engineered for high-precision signal generation in multimedia and communication applications. The GS4901 series specifically targets video synchronization needs, distinguishing itself from general-purpose oscillators by offering integrated genlock functionality.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for direct substitutes. Generic clock generators may not support video genlock features. Verify pin compatibility and frequency ranges before substituting.
