MAX24710EXG2

Overview

The MAX24710EXG2 is a clock synthesizer manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for Ethernet and SONET/SDH applications. It features one circuit with a 3:10 input-to-output ratio, supporting differential inputs and outputs. The device accepts CMOS, TTL, or crystal inputs and generates CML, CMOS, or TTL outputs. It operates at a maximum frequency of 750MHz with a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.3V. The component is housed in an 81-CSBGA (10x10) package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports 10 output channels with a 3:10 frequency conversion ratio
• Compatible with CMOS, TTL, and Crystal input sources
• Generates CML, CMOS, and TTL output signals
• Operates on a 1.8V to 3.3V power supply

Applications

• Ethernet network infrastructure
• SONET/SDH transmission systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Microchip documentation to confirm availability and specifications. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package and temperature grade. Cross-reference with authorized distributors for current stock status and lead times. Confirm RoHS compliance details if environmental regulations apply to the project requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-input, multi-output clock solution is required for high-speed serial interfaces. The 3:10 ratio allows flexible frequency generation from lower input rates up to 750MHz. Ensure the system design accommodates the 81-CSBGA surface-mount package dimensions. Verify that the required output logic levels (CML, CMOS, TTL) align with the downstream receiver specifications.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Application Specific Clock/Timing category. It is part of a family of clock synthesizers optimized for telecommunications and networking equipment. The 81-CSBGA package provides a compact form factor suitable for dense PCB layouts in modern electronic devices requiring precise timing signals.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same product family. Verify that alternative components support the same 3:10 ratio and output drive capabilities. Ensure replacement parts meet the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
