PL102-10TI-R

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Overview

The PL102-10TI-R is a low skew, low jitter zero delay buffer manufactured by Microchip Technology. It distributes high-speed clocks with two outputs synchronized to the input via CLKOUT feedback to the PLL. The device supports frequency ranges of 15 MHz to 170 MHz at 3.3V and 15 MHz to 145 MHz at 2.5V. Key electrical parameters include an output-to-output skew of less than 200 ps, cycle-to-cycle jitter under 100 ps, and a supply voltage range of 2.25V to 3.63V. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Feature Summary

• Zero Input-to-Output Delay: Maintains zero phase difference between REF and CLKOUT using internal PLL feedback.
• Low Skew Performance: Achieves less than 200 ps skew between outputs and less than 700 ps device-to-device skew.
• Spread Spectrum Support: Internal PLL allows spread spectrum modulation on the reference clock to pass to outputs.
• Dual Output Configuration: Provides two buffered clock outputs (CLK1, CLK2) synchronized with the input.
