PCK351D,112

The PCK351D,112 is a clock buffer, driver and is part of the PCK Series from Renesas. It is designed to provide multiple outputs using one reference clock input, offering excellent performance and integrated features. The chip is made up of four differential buffers which each have three outputs, and it also includes two differential drivers that have one output. The PCK351D,112 is ideal for clocking applications where multiple high-frequency clock outputs are required, for example for high speed communication bus applications.

The PCK351D,112 can operate over a wide range of temperature, with both normal and industrial grade versions available, and is compliant with the IEC 61000-4-2 electrostatic discharge immunity standard. It is designed to take a 5V or 3.3V input voltage, has a low power consumption of 5mW, and utilizes advanced dual-die CMOS technology.

The PCK351D,112 offers a wide range of features such as low input-to-output skews, fast rise and fall times, and a 3.2-GHz output frequency. It is also fully programmable, allowing for flexible application and design. For example, it can be configured to adjust frequency settings and to account for input and output clock skew. The output can be configured to operate in hold mode and as a true differential generator. Various options are also available for noise protection and signal conditioning.

The PCK351D,112 can be used for a variety of clock-related applications, such as for the clocking of high speed data buses, including those found in communications, server, and storage systems. It is also suitable for clock synchronization and generation in routers, switches, computers, and FPGA/DSP/ASIC designs. Because of its programmability, it is well suited for applications requiring highly-specific timing solutions, such as those found in medical imaging, scientific instrumentation, and networking systems.

The PCK351D,112 utilizes a differential buffer topology to ensure clean and noise-free signal transmission. This topology enables the chip to act as a buffer and amplifies the output of the reference clock, while attenuating any unwanted noise coming in from other signals. Additionally, the chip features edge-rate controls and output enable and disable functions to further ensure clean signal transmission. This allows for maximum signal integrity while keeping power consumption low.

The PCK351D,112 can be used in a combination of ways to complement any clocking application. It is designed to be used as either an oscillator or a buffer, depending on the application. When used as an oscillator the reference clock signal is connected directly to the chip, enabling different output frequencies that can be programmed from the reference clock. When used as a buffer, the chip’s inputs are used to distribute the same reference clock signal to multiple outputs, with each output having separately adjustable frequencies.

The PCK351D,112 is an ideal choice for a wide range of clocking applications due to its flexibility and reliability. With its wide range of features, programmable capabilities and robust design, the chip is an excellent choice for any clocking requirement. It offers a powerful and cost-effective solution for multiple output clock generation and synchronization.
