Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with target AMD processors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for end-of-life notifications or last-time-buy notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for legacy AMD CPU architectures requiring specific clock frequencies. Ensure the 48-SSOP footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 3.3V logic levels align with the connected processor requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Application Specific Clock/Timing category. It serves as a dedicated solution for AMD-based systems, offering a fixed-function alternative to general-purpose programmable clock generators.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated Renesas FemtoClock series devices or generic programmable clock generators with compatible pinouts and voltage levels. Verify frequency output specifications match the original design requirements.
