ZL30230GGG2

Overview

The ZL30230GGG2 is a four-channel universal clock generator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V and 3.3 V, supporting frequencies up to 750 MHz. The device is housed in a 100-LBGA package measuring 11x11 mm. It functions as an application-specific clock translator with one output configuration for specific timing needs. The component supports surface mount installation and operates reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Four-channel universal clock generation capability
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 750 MHz
• Dual voltage compatibility for 1.8 V and 3.3 V systems
• Compact 100-LBGA packaging for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Ethernet network infrastructure equipment
• Fibre Channel storage area networks
• PCI Express (PCIe) interface implementations
• Memory controller timing solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to ensure correct package type and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Check for product change notifications regarding manufacturing updates. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed during assembly due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multi-channel clock distribution is required for mixed-protocol environments. Consider the 750 MHz frequency limit against system requirements. Evaluate the LBGA package footprint against PCB layout constraints. Verify power supply stability for both 1.8 V and 3.3 V rails to ensure proper device operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Microchip's ZL30xxx series of clock generators and synchronizers. It complements other models like the ZL30236 and ZL30153 by offering four-channel versatility. The series targets high-performance networking and computing applications requiring precise timing synchronization across multiple interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ZL30230 variants with different suffixes for package or temperature adjustments. Cross-reference with ZL30236 for similar functionality but different channel counts. Consult Microchip's official replacement guide for validated alternatives.
