Renesa Electronics launches a new programmable clock generator VersaClock 7
November 30 news, Renesas Electronics recently announced the launch of a new clock generator VersaClock 7. This programmable clock generator family with an optional in-house integrated crystal version is suitable for PCIe and network applications in high-end computing systems, wired infrastructure and data center equipment. VersaClock 7 has unparalleled flexibility, enabling designers to configure different output frequencies, set input / output (I / O) levels, and define common I / O (GPIO) pin functions. A new standard has been established in the combination of low power consumption, high performance-to-price ratio and small size packaging.
Key features of VersaClock 7 clock generator:
8MB 12-differential output with integrated crystal option
12k-20MHz RMS Jitter as low as 150fs
1.8V / 2.5v / 3.3V power supply is supported
Digital hold and uninterrupted switching of different inputs
Support SPI / I2C / SMBUS interface
Comply with PCIe Gen 1-6 standard
Support for synchronous Ethernet
5mm × 5mm, 6mm × 6mm QFN package, saving board space
Support for up to 27 different configurations of OTP or external suspension EEPROM
Renesas offers the new Renesas IC Toolkit (RICBox) Windows application for configuring VersaClock 7 devices, enabling users to complete configuration creation and device programming on the evaluation board. As a newly launched platform, RICBox provides customers with cutting-edge software for the evaluation of Renesas products. Customers can use the Python driver or Windows GUI to create custom configurations and program VersaClock 7 devices on the evaluation board.
Users can create optimal configurations for devices by setting high-order parameters without the need for relevant expertise. Through RICBox's seamless interface with Renesas's innovative cloud lab platform, users can download the configuration they have created and operate locally using RICBox. Alternatively, they can start with RICBox and upload its configuration to the cloud lab to analyze performance.
Renesas combines the VersaClock 7 clock generator with a wide range of analog and power products to build comprehensive solutions for a wide range of applications. Such as the successful product portfolio "Power and timing system of AI Accelerator Card", the solution integrates RC21008A programmable VersaClock 7, 9QXL2001 PCIe buffers, and ISL99390 90A intelligent power level modules. The new VersaClock 7 can be used in Renesas Cloud Lab, allowing users to use a phase noise analyzer to evaluate the phase noise performance of specific clock configurations on the circuit board. It is available under the category "clock IC and clock timing Solutions". Renesa's "successful portfolio" is based on compatible and seamless devices with a technologically proven system architecture that brings optimized low-risk design to accelerate time-to-market. Renesas has now launched more than 300 "successful product portfolios" based on a wide range of products in its product lineup, speeding up the user design process and bringing products to market faster.
