8N3Q001FG-0172CDI8

Programmable timers and oscillators are electronic circuits that are used to generate a steady pulse of periodic signals. The 8N3Q001FG-0172CDI8 is a versatile programmable timer/oscillator that integrates both a dual clock buffer and a phase-locked loop (PLL). It has a wide frequency range from 0.5MHz to 400MHz and can be used for a variety of applications, from generating low-frequency signals for power supply and control circuits, to high-frequency signals for synchronization in digital clock networks.

The 8N3Q001FG-0172CDI8 programmable timer/oscillator uses a dual clock buffer architecture, consisting of two inverting clock buffers. The two inverting clock buffers work together to output a single pulse every cycle and can be programmed to generate different frequencies. The two channels are completely independent and can be programmed separately using the two onboard configuration registers.

The integrated PLL module provides a stable and accurate clock reference for the timer/oscillator. It uses an analog voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to generate a periodic signal of a defined frequency, which can then be divided by the two clock buffers to generate the desired output frequencies. The PLL module has built-in advanced digital settings that allow it to adjust its frequency range, program different frequency ratios, and enable/disable the outputs on each of the clock buffers.

The 8N3Q001FG-0172CDI8 timer/oscillator is ideal for applications that require accurate, reliable and frequent signals. It can be used for frequency synthesis, output timing and control for microprocessors and digital logic, clock synchronization for high-speed digital systems, and clock distribution for multi-chip systems. It is also used for frequency control in radio applications, and for generating test signals for radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.

The 8N3Q001FG-0172CDI8 is a versatile programmable timer/oscillator that can provide designers with the flexibility to design their desired frequencies and clock settings. By using the advanced digital settings, different frequency ratios can be programmed easily, allowing designers to create their desired output signals without having to manually adjust the components. The wide frequency range of the 8N3Q001FG-0172CDI8 timer/oscillator makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
