ICS9161A-01CW16T

Overview

The ICS9161A-01CW16T is a video clock generator manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for graphics applications. It operates within a single 5V supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports both crystal and clock inputs. The device features one circuit capable of generating output frequencies up to 120MHz with a 2:2 input-to-output ratio. Packaged in a 16-SOIC surface-mount case, it functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Generates video clock signals with a maximum frequency of 120MHz
• Supports PLL-based frequency generation for graphics applications
• Accepts both crystal and external clock inputs

Applications

• Graphics systems requiring precise timing signals
• Video display controllers
• Computer motherboards and expansion cards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CW16T' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing 5V logic levels and crystal specifications before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated 120MHz video clock generator is required for graphics subsystems. Confirm that the 16-SOIC package fits the PCB layout constraints and that the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range meets the system's environmental requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas (formerly IDT) family of video clock generators. These devices are specialized integrated circuits used to provide stable timing references for video processing pipelines, ensuring synchronization between graphics processors and display outputs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives from Renesas or other vendors offering similar 120MHz video clock generators in 16-SOIC packages. Verify electrical parameters such as jitter performance and supply current to ensure functional equivalence.
