ZL30415GGC

Overview

The ZL30415GGC is a SONET/SDH clock generator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V and supports a maximum frequency of 622.08MHz. The device features one output circuit with differential input and output capabilities, supporting CML, CMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL inputs, and CMOS or LVPECL outputs. It utilizes an internal PLL for timing generation and is housed in a 64-LFBGA (8x8mm) surface-mount package. The component is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• SONET/SDH specific clock generation with 622.08MHz maximum frequency
• Differential input/output support for CML, CMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL interfaces
• Integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for precise timing
• 64-LFBGA surface-mount packaging

Applications

• SONET/SDH network synchronization equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure timing systems
• High-speed digital interface clock distribution

Procurement Notes

The ZL30415GGC is classified as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Microchip Technology. Verification of current availability should be conducted through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Designers must account for the end-of-life status when planning long-term production cycles.

Selection Notes

When selecting this component, verify that the 622.08MHz frequency requirement aligns with the target SONET/SDH standard. Ensure the system power supply remains within the 3V to 3.6V range. Confirm that the 64-LFBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements for the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZL30415 family of SONET/SDH clock generators from Microchip Technology. These devices are designed specifically for telecommunications applications requiring precise clock recovery and generation. The GGC suffix typically denotes the package type and temperature grade variations within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Microchip Technology lists the ZL30151LDG1 as a similar replacement option. Engineers should compare pin compatibility, electrical specifications, and software configuration tools before substituting this obsolete part.
