FemtoClock® NG Ultra Low Jitter
HCSL Clock Generator
8V41NS0412
Datasheet
Description
Features
▪ Eleven differential HCSL outputs
The 8V41NS0412 is a clock generator with four output dividers:
three integer, and one that is either integer or fractional. When
used with an external crystal, the 8V41NS0412 generates high
performance timing geared towards the communications and
datacom markets, especially for applications demanding
extremely low phase noise, such as 10GE, 40GE, 100G, and
400GE.
▪ One LVCMOS output; input reference can be bypassed to this
output
▪ The clock input operates in full differential mode (LVDS,
LVPECL) or single-ended LVCMOS mode
▪ Driven from a crystal or differential clock input
▪ A 2.42.5GHz PLL frequency range supports Ethernet,
The 8V41NS0412’s versatile frequency configurations are
optimized to deliver excellent phase noise performance. The
device delivers an optimum combination of high clock frequency
and low-phase noise performance, combined with high-power
supply noise rejection.
SONET, and CPRI frequency plans
▪ 1.25GHz maximum output frequency
▪ Four integer output dividers with a range of output divide ratios
(see Table 5)
▪ One fractional output divider can generate any desired output
frequency
The 8V41NS0412 supports HCSL type of output level on eleven of
its outputs. In addition, there is a single LVCMOS output that has
the option of providing a generated clock or acting as a reference
bypass output.
▪ Support of output power-down
▪ Excellent clock output phase noise
Offset Output Frequency Single-side Band Phase Noise
The device can be configured to deliver specific configurations
under pin control only, or additional configurations through an I2C
serial interface by an external processor.
100kHz
156.25MHz
-143dBc/Hz
▪ Phase noise RMS, 156.25MHz, 12kHz to 20MHz integration
range: 80fs (typical)
The 8V41NS0412 is offered in a lead-free (RoHS6) 64-VFQFN
package.
▪ Selected configurations can be controlled via the use of control
input pins without need for serial port access
▪ LVCMOS compatible I2C serial interface gives access to
additional configurations by external processor or in
combination with the control input pins
Typical Applications
▪ PCI Express Clocking
▪ Single 3.3V supply voltage
▪ 10G/40G/100G/400G Ethernet
▪ Gb Ethernet, Terabit IP switches / routers
▪ CPRI Interfaces
▪ Lead-free (RoHS 6) 64-VFQFN packaging
▪ -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
▪ Fiber Optics
