MC100ES6039DW

The MC100ES6039DW is a dual high-speed clock generator/fanout buffer from ON Semiconductor. It is designed to produce a wide frequency range of outputs from a single, low-cost loop-timing device. It is ideal for applications such as high-speed modem interfaces, clock and data distribution, memory timing, and digital interconnects.

The MC100ES6039DW features two differential clock outputs whose output frequency are independently programmable up to 250 MHz. The outputs can be used to generate high-frequency clocks or to fanout low-frequency clocks. It has an integrated spread spectrum modulator, which can be used to reduce EMI emissions.

The MC100ES6039DW is designed to reduce board layout and power consumption by using a highly integrated clock generator/fanout buffer solution. It has low-length skew and low-phase jitter performance. It is fabricated using a 0.18 μm CMOS process. The device is housed in a small 5-mm x 5-mm VQFN package.

The working principle of the MC100ES6039DW is straightforward and can be divided into three main components – a phase-locked loop (PLL), a divider/multiplier stage, and an output stage. The most important part of this device is the PLL circuit. The PLL receives input from a reference frequency source, typically an external oscillator or clock generator. This source is used to control the output frequency of the device.

The output of the reference source is fed into the PLL. This input is monitored by the PLL. The PLL then adjusts the clock frequency it produces to match the frequency of the reference source. The output of the PLL is then used to set the output frequency of the device. This frequency can then be adjusted to generate the desired clock or fan-out clock frequency.

The next stage is the divider/multiplier stage. This stage is used to further modify the output frequency of the device. The divider stage reduces the reference frequency, while the multiplier stage increases the frequency. The divider and multiplier stages can be used in combination to achieve more complex frequency settings.

The final stage is the output stage. This stage is responsible for generating the actual clock outputs. These outputs can then be used by the connected devices. The outputs are also buffered and can drive heavy loads without having any negative effects on the clock signals.

The MC100ES6039DW is a versatile clock generator/fanout buffer and can be used in many different application fields. It is ideal for applications such as high-speed modems, clock and data distribution, memory timing, and digital interconnects. Its integrated spread spectrum modulator allows the device to easily comply with the requirements of the EMI regulations. The device is also very power efficient and the small 5-mm x 5-mm VQFN package saves valuable board space.
