It is designed to generate precise clock signals for high-speed Ethernet applications, supporting various data rates required by modern networking infrastructure. The device integrates phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry to synthesize output frequencies from a single reference input, ensuring low jitter performance essential for reliable data transmission in Ethernet networks.

Feature Summary

• Integrated HiFlex Ethernet network clock generator
• Supports multiple Ethernet data rates via programmable outputs
• Low jitter PLL synthesis for signal integrity
• Surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly

Applications

• Ethernet switches and routers
• Network interface cards (NICs)
• Telecommunications equipment requiring precise timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'ZBBIE' against the manufacturer's current datasheet, as suffixes often denote specific packaging, temperature grades, or lead finish variations. Confirm availability through authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the standard reel pack size specified in the official documentation to avoid handling discrepancies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require dedicated clock generation for Ethernet PHYs or MAC interfaces. Compare output frequency options and jitter specifications against the target Ethernet standard (e.g., 10/100/1000BASE-T). Verify that the supply voltage range and operating temperature range align with the system's environmental constraints and power budget.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PI6LC48 series of clock generators from Diodes Incorporated, which are optimized for networking applications. The series typically includes variants tailored for different Ethernet speeds and interface requirements. The 'HiFlex' branding indicates flexibility in generating multiple clock domains from a single reference source.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family may include other PI6LC48 variants with compatible pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that any substitute supports the same Ethernet data rates and output formats. Cross-reference with Diodes Incorporated's obsolescence notices to ensure long-term availability.
