RC38612A001GN2#BB0

Overview

The RC38612A001GN2#BB0 is a clock generator from Renesas Electronics, designed for Ethernet and SONET/SDH applications. It features five inputs and twelve outputs with an integrated PLL. The device supports input signals including CML, CMOS, HCSL, LVDS, PECL, and Crystal, while providing output options of CML, HCSL, HSTL, LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, and SSTL. It operates on a supply voltage of 1.71V to 3.465V, reaching a maximum frequency of 1GHz. The component is housed in a 72-VFQFPN (10x10) package with an exposed pad, suitable for surface mount mounting, and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports 5 differential inputs and 12 differential outputs
• Integrated PLL for clock generation
• Maximum operating frequency of 1GHz
• Wide input/output signal compatibility

Applications

• Ethernet systems
• SONET/SDH networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix #BB0 against official Renesas documentation to confirm specific tape-and-reel quantities or moisture sensitivity levels. Ensure the 72-VFQFPN package dimensions match the design footprint requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring precise clock distribution for Ethernet or SONET/SDH interfaces. The wide variety of input and output signaling standards allows flexibility in system architecture. Ensure the power supply voltage remains within the 1.71V to 3.465V range and that the thermal environment stays between -40°C and 85°C for reliable operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Application Specific Clock/Timing category by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It is distinct from general-purpose oscillators as it includes programmable PLL capabilities for generating multiple clock frequencies from various input sources.

Replacement Considerations

Check Renesas documentation for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same clock generator family. Verify that any substitute maintains the 5:12 input-output ratio and supports the required 1GHz frequency.
