ZL30160GGG

Overview

The ZL30160GGG2 is a four-channel universal clock translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 100-pin LBGA package. The device features programmable synthesizers capable of generating frequencies from 1 kHz to 750 MHz, with two precision synthesizers delivering jitter below 0.7 ps RMS for 10 G PHYs. It includes four reference inputs and provides eight LVPECL outputs alongside four LVCMOS outputs. Configuration is supported via SPI/I2C interfaces or customer-defined OTP memory.

Feature Summary

• Four independent clock channels with flexible two-stage architecture for arbitrary data rate translation
• Two precision synthesizers generate clocks with jitter below 0.7 ps RMS for 10 G PHY applications
• Digital PLLs filter jitter at rates including 14 Hz, 28 Hz, 56 Hz, 112 Hz, 224 Hz, 448 Hz, and 896 Hz
• Eight LVPECL outputs and four LVCMOS outputs, with configurable drivers supporting LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL

Applications

• 10 Gigabit line cards
• Synchronous Ethernet, 10 GBASE-R and 10 GBASE-W
• OTN multiplexers and transponders
• SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel, XAUI

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type and environmental compliance. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS standards and lead-free specifications before procurement. Ensure the supply chain source provides valid traceability for the Microchip Technology part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring precise frequency synthesis up to 750 MHz with ultra-low jitter performance. Evaluate the need for automatic hitless reference switching and digital holdover capabilities during reference failure. Consider the availability of customer-defined default configurations via OTP memory if static initialization is preferred over dynamic register programming.

Part Context

The ZL30160GGG2 belongs to the ZL30160 family of universal clock translators. It is designed to translate between arbitrary data rates, line coding rates, and FEC rates. The device supports both single-ended and differential input references, providing versatile synchronization solutions for high-speed networking equipment.
