Renesas Electronics intros CK440 Clock Generator

Renesas Electronics introduced a low-jitter 9SQ440 clock generator IC designed for next-generation Intel platforms used in high-performance computing and data center applications. 

The new device is a CK440Q-compliant server clock generator that provides a high-performance synthesizer to address PCIe Gen5 design challenges.

Key features

  1. PCIe Gen5 and UPI v2.0-compliant clocks for 32GT/s SerDes
  2. PCIe Gen5 with <50fs RMS phase jitter, below specification requirements, to deliver better design margin
  3. 7 dedicated 100MHz outputs w/7 OE# pins
  4. 3 dedicated 25MHz platform time outputs
  5. 1 dedicated 25MHz platform time daisy chain output
  6. 9 mux outputs selectable between 100MHz or 25MHz
