VERSACLOCK® FAMILY OVERVIEW
Renesas’ VersaClock® family offers an industry leading portfolio of more than 20 programmableclock generators that provide industry leading versatility for consumer, data communications,telecommunications, and networking applications.
VersaClock devices enable a wide range of applications with a unique combination of low power,
flexibility and high performance. These attributes make them ideal candidates for simplifying systemdesign by replacing multiple discrete timing components and reducing bill of materials (BOM).
The VersaClock product family supports operating voltages from 1.8 to 3.3 V, differential (LVPECL/HCSL/LVDS/LPHCSL) and LVCMOS output types, up to 3 PLLs and multiple fractional dividers toaccurately generate virtually any frequency. Products satisfy system requirements from oscillator
replacement to PCIe® Gen1 to Gen6 and to communications applications, while consuming very
little power.
