Renesas Electronics RC223x FemtoClock™ Clock Synthesizers

Renesas Electronics RC223x FemtoClock™ Clock Synthesizers offer precision with jitter levels below 60fs (ttypicalp) using IOD and 120fs (typical) with FOD. The Renesas Electronics RC223x has a frequency range of 12kHz to 20MHz. With low power dissipation, the device operates at less than 1.2W in full configuration. The synthesizer has up to four independent frequency domains, enabling it to function as both a clock generator and a jitter attenuator. The RC223x complies with ITU-T G.8262 standards for SyncE/OTN (EEC/OEC) and ITU-T G.8262.1 for SyncE/OTN (eEEC/eOEC), ensuring reliable synchronization for various applications.

Features

  • <60fs (typical) with IOD, 120fs (typical) with FOD,  12kHz to 20MHz
  • Low power dissipation with <1.2W in full config
  • Up to 4x independent frequency domains
  • Acts as clock generator or jitter attenuator
  • Compliant with ITU-T G.8262 for SyncE/OTN (EEC/OEC) and ITU-T G.8262.1 for SyncE/ /OTN (eEEC/eOEC)
  • Eliminates complex discrete solutions for high-speed interfaces by supporting reference clock needs up to 112Gbps
  • Enhances thermal reliability and simplifies PCB layout
  • Facilitates device re-use for multiple applications (synchronization, jitter cleaning, or clock generation), simplifying BOM while aggregating volume
  • Support multiple synchronization modes such as SyncE and Enhanced SyncE

Applications

  • 400G/800G Ethernet switch, 56Gbps, 112Gbps PAM-4 SerDes
  • Timing and line cards
