PI6LC48P03AZHIEX

Overview

The PI6LC48P03AZHIEX is a 3-output LVPECL synthesizer optimized for Ethernet reference clock generation, belonging to the HiFlex family. It supports output frequencies of 125MHz, 156.25MHz, 312.5MHz, and 625MHz using 31.25MHz or 26.041666MHz crystals. RMS phase jitter is typically 0.3ps at 156.25MHz (12kHz–20MHz). The device operates on full 3.3V or 2.5V supplies with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It features selectable crystal or single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL inputs and is housed in a lead-free 28-TQFN package.

Feature Summary

• Three differential LVPECL output pairs
• Supports 125MHz, 156.25MHz, 312.5MHz, and 625MHz outputs
• Ultra-low phase jitter: 0.3ps typical at 156.25MHz (12kHz–20MHz)
• Selectable crystal oscillator interface or LVCMOS/LVTTL input

Applications

• Networking systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'EX' confirms tape and reel packaging. Confirm the 'ZHIE' designation indicates Pb-free and Green compliance. Ensure the component matches the 28-pin TQFN physical form factor required by the design.

Selection Notes

Select this part when three independent LVPECL outputs are required for Ethernet applications. Verify that the system can accommodate either a 31.25MHz or 26.041666MHz crystal, or provides a compatible single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL reference signal.

Part Context

This component is part of the Pericom HiFlex family of high-performance clock solutions. It utilizes proprietary low phase noise PLL technology to achieve ultra-low phase jitter, making it suitable for demanding Ethernet interfaces across various system types.
