Clock DistributionZero Delay BuffersRenesas’ family of zero delay buffers provides low jitter and low input to output delay for high-speed clock distribution applications. The zero delay feature means that the rising edge of the input clock aligns with the rising edges of both output clocks, giving the appearance of no delay through the device. All parts have on-chip PLLs which lock to an input clock on the REF pin. The PLL feedback path eliminates the delay through other devices and can be on-chip or external. On-chip feedback is obtained from the CLKOUT pad. Some parts have the option to add multiplier or divider paths to the outputs. Renesas’ zero delay buffer family includes products supporting supply voltages from 2.5 V to 5 V, output frequencies 5 to 210 MHz, and 1 to 9 outputs. Typical output types supported are CMOS and TTL. Zero Delay buffers; which are ideal for synchronizing outputs in a large variety of systems, from personal computers to data communications to graphics/video.
Fan-Out BuffersRenesas’ family of fan-out buffers provides multiple low skew copies of the reference input. The large fan-out from a single input reduces loading on the preceding driver and provides an efficient clock distribution network. Renesas’ fan-out buffer family includes products supporting supply voltages from 1.2 V up to 5 V, output frequencies from 0 to 200 MHz, and 1 to 16 outputs. Typical output types supported are CMOS, TTL, and LVCMOS. Fan-out buffers are ideal for clock and signal distribution in a large variety of systems, from personal computers to consumer electronics or industrial systems.

VersaClock® IIIVersaClock products allow designers to save board space and cost by replacing crystals, oscillators and buffers with a single timing device. Exceptional versatility and configurability allow for maximum freedom in the design process. There are four internal PLLs, each individually programmable, allowing for up to seven unique frequencies. These frequencies are generated from a single reference clock, which can come from one of two redundant clock inputs. A glitchless automatic or manual switchover function allows the redundant clock to be selected during normal operation.
FemtoClock Next Generation (NG) SynthesizersRenesas FemtoClock® NG Universal Frequency Translators (UFT™) cover all your frequency synthesis and translation needs. Family members are available that support 1, 2, 3 or 4 PLLs in a single package. As a frequency synthesizer, a low-cost, readily-available fundamental mode crystal can be used to generate output frequencies that range from 1 MHz to 1.3 GHz. The internal architecture of the device allows any frequency of crystal from 16 MHz to 40 MHz to be used regardless of the frequency desired. As a frequency translator, this family of devices accepts 1 or 2 input reference clocks per PLL from 8 kHz to 710 MHz; switching between them as necessary and generates any output frequency from 1 MHz to 1.3 GHz with no frequency translation error in most cases. Family members support either one or two different pin-selectable configurations per PLL that may be pre-loaded into the internal One-Time Programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory for automatic operation directly from power-up, or an I²C serial interface can be used to set the desired configurations.

Complimentary Clock Tree Design and Review ServicesClock tree design can be a complex task with many considerations that are often overwhelming to designers unfamiliar with clock trees and the associated “language” of timing. While clock tree tools and wizards sometimes exist to assist with simple clock tree designs, these often fall short in real-world applications; automated tools simply cannot address many of the complexities of advanced requirements like phase jitter and spread spectrum.

Renesas announced the expansion of the VersaClock® 5 family of programmable clock generators with new devices that simplify the creation of PCI Express® clocks while providing the flexible outputs for which VersaClock 5 is known. The new members of the high-performance VersaClock 5 family feature dedicated low-power HCSL (LP-HCSL) outputs that reduce board space and bill of materials (BOM) by providing an integrated clock generation and distribution solution for PCIe designs.







Renesas’ Universal Frequency Translator family of programmable clock generators is optimized for high-performance optical networks, 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interface applications, and wireless base stations. These devices are the single-chip programmable clock generators capable of generating eight different output frequencies with less than 300 femtoseconds RMS phase jitter over the standard 12 kHz to 20 MHz integration range. The 3rd generation UFT family of programmable clock generators offers eight independently programmable clock outputs with the flexibility to apply virtually any input frequency and select virtually any output frequency.
Renesas’ crystal oscillators offer designers a reliable and economical timing solution. Data throughput needs continue to rise for serial IO technologies. As these speeds increase, jitter requirements have become more stringent. Renesas’ new family of Crystal Oscillators, Renesas XO, is the response to the industry’s needs for high performance, low jitter clock sources. Renesas XO feature a typical jitter value of 300 fs RMS with a maximum value of 400 fs, integrated over 12 kHz to 20 MHz. Renesas offers the most precise timing solutions available with industry-leading accuracy over temperature, frequency stability, and best phase noise and jitter feature sets.
Problem solving solutions permit easy addition of functionality to existing systems, minimizing design time and cost. Renesas jitter attenuators use special purpose PLL to reconstruct PCI Express clocks, reducing inherent jitter. In some PCIe systems, the PCIe clocks are generated from a relatively high phase noise PLL frequency synthesizer. In these systems, a jitter attenuating device may be necessary to reduce high-frequency random and deterministic jitter components from the clock synthesizer and the system board.
PCI Express (PCIe) is globally recognized as the general purpose I/O that unifies the component interconnect across many applications including desktop computing, servers, workstations, storage, networking, enterprise routers, industrial test and control equipment, aerospace, and many more. Renesas is the only vendor to provide all the major building blocks for PCIe, including switches, bridges, signal integrity products for increasing channel length, and timing devices.
The 8V97051 wideband RF synthesizer/PLL with integrated VCO offers a combination of high performance, low power consumption and wide tuning range.
