ZL30163GDG2

Overview

The ZL30163GDG2 is a clock translator integrated circuit manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a single PLL-based channel capable of translating input clock signals to output frequencies up to 1.035 GHz. The device supports differential inputs and outputs, accepting CML, CMOS, or crystal inputs and providing CML or CMOS outputs. Designed for telecommunications applications, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 32-QFN package.

Feature Summary

• Single-channel clock translation with a maximum frequency of 1.035 GHz
• Supports differential inputs (CML, CMOS, Crystal) and differential outputs (CML, CMOS)
• Integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for precise frequency synthesis
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C

Applications

• Telecommunications systems requiring clock translation
• High-speed data transmission interfaces
• Network infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GDG2 against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout, packaging dimensions, and RoHS compliance status. Check for any Product Change Notifications (PCNs) related to marking or packing changes that may affect integration. Ensure the 32-QFN footprint matches the design board layout requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single high-frequency clock translation channel is required for telecom applications. Compare input/output voltage levels (CML vs. CMOS) against the system interface requirements. Consider the 32-QFN package size constraints and thermal dissipation capabilities relative to the PCB environment.

Part Context
