ZL30167GDG2

Overview

The ZL30167GDG2 is a dual-channel clock translator manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in a 144-pin LBGA package. It integrates two programmable Digital Phase-Locked Loops (DPLLs) and Numerically Controlled Oscillators (NCOs) alongside four programmable synthesizers. The device supports frequencies up to 750MHz and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Designed for surface mount installation, it serves as a versatile solution for precise timing generation and translation in complex communication systems.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual programmable DPLL/NCO channels with four independent synthesizers
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 750MHz for precision timing
• Designed for robust performance across industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Ethernet network synchronization
• Fibre Channel interface timing
• SONET/SDH line card implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix GDG2 against the official Microchip datasheet to ensure correct pinout and electrical specifications. Confirm that the required factory pack quantity aligns with procurement needs, as standard packaging may involve tray quantities. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and environmental documentation prior to finalizing purchase orders to ensure regulatory adherence.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel phase-locked loop functionality combined with multiple synthesizer outputs is required for complex clock distribution. Ensure the application demands support for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or SONET/SDH standards. Verify that the 144-pin LBGA package footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target system.
