LMK3H0102A006RERT

Overview

The LMK3H0102A006RERT is a single-ended spread-spectrum clock generator from Texas Instruments, designed for PCIe Gen 1 to Gen 6 compliance. It utilizes bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology and operates without an external reference oscillator. The device provides two outputs with a maximum frequency of 400 MHz and features a jitter specification of 20 ps. It functions within a supply voltage range of 1.71 V to 3.465 V, drawing approximately 97.8 mA. The component is housed in a TQFN-16 package and supports operation temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Referenceless design based on Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) technology
• Two single-ended outputs supporting frequencies up to 400 MHz
• Low jitter performance of 20 ps
• Compliant with PCIe Gen 1 through Gen 6 standards

Applications

• PCIe Gen 1 to Gen 6 compliant systems
• High-speed serial link clock generation
• Server and storage infrastructure timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RERT' against official documentation to confirm reel packaging and tape width specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's datasheet before integration. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a referenceless clock solution is required for PCIe applications. Compare the 20 ps jitter specification against system requirements. Verify that the TQFN-16 package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints. Check if the single-ended output type matches the downstream receiver inputs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LMK3H0102 family of BAW-based clock generators. Other variants in the series include LMK3H0102A016RERR and LMK3H0102A002RERR, which share similar electrical characteristics but may differ in ordering suffixes or specific configuration options.

Replacement Considerations

LMK3H0102A016RERR and LMK3H0102A002RERR are members of the same family. Verify functional equivalence and pin compatibility before substitution.
