The ZL30230 Four Channel Universal Clock Generator, part of Zarlink?s ClockCenter platform of Free Run Clock devices, delivers industry leading performance for a range of free run applications.  The free run synchronization solution allows designers to replace multiple, costly components with a highly integrated and programmable, single-chip solution. The ZL30230 device generates up to 20 clocks from a single crystal, allowing designers to replace numerous oscillators traditionally used to provide timing for various components with one chip. Zarlink?s One Time Programmable service allows designers to optimize ClockCenter free-run clocking products to meet their unique requirements. To access the One Time Programmable service please contact your local Zarlink sales representative or visit http://www.zarlink.com/sales_support.htm.

Features & Benefits

• Operates from a single crystal resonator, clock oscillator or voltage controlled oscillator
• Four independently programmable clock synthesizers generate any clock rate from 1 kHz to 720 MHz
• Precision synthesizers generate clocks with jitter below 0.7 ps RMS for 10 G PHYs
• General purpose synthesizers generate a wide range of digital bus clocks
• Supports programmable frequency offsets for clock margining; or for use as a digitally controlled oscillator
• Eight LVPECL outputs; max rate 720 MHz
• Four LVCMOS outputs; max rate 160 MHz
• Eight outputs configurable as LVCMOS at 3.3/2.5/1.8 or 1.5 V, max rate160 MHz; or LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL, max rate 350 MHz
• Default configurations programmed via One Time Programmable (OTP) ROM
• Dynamically Configurable via SPI/I2C interface
