NG Crystal-to-LVDS/
HCSL Clock Synthesizer
841N254B
Datasheet
Description
The 841N254B is a 4-output clock synthesizer designed for S-RIO
1.3 and 2.0 reference clock applications. The device generates
four copies of a selectable 250MHz, 156.25MHz, 125MHz or
100MHz clock signal with excellent phase jitter performance. The
four outputs are organized in two banks of two LVDS and two
HCSL ouputs. The device uses IDT’s fourth generation
FemtoClock
®
NG technology for an optimum of high clock
frequency and low phase noise performance, combined with a low
power consumption and high power supply noise rejection. The
synthesized clock frequency and the phase-noise performance
are optimized for driving RIO 1.3 and 2.0 SerDes reference
clocks.
The device supports 3.3V and 2.5V voltage supplies and is
packaged in a small 32-lead VFQFN package. The extended
temperature range supports wireless infrastructure,
telecommunication and networking end equipment requirements.
