Smallest and lowest-power programmable clock claimed
9 August 2006
Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI
PhaseLink's PicoPLL is claimed to be the world's smallest, best performing and lowest-power programmable clock device. With 1,8 to 3,3 V operation, up to 200 MHz frequency operation and only 2,0 x 1,3 x 0,6 mm (DFN) size, the PicoPLL family is targeted at performance driven designs, in particular where space and power constraints are essential. Housed in RoHS-compliant packages (DFN: 2,0 x 1,3 x 0,6 mm, SC70: 2,3 x 2,25 mm, SOT23: 3 x 3 mm, and even in a 2,5 x 2,0 mm oscillator module) the devices support commercial (0 to 70°C) and industrial (-40 to 85°C) temperature ranges. In addition, all PicoPLL family members operate on 1,8 V, 2,5 V, or 3,3 V. They can be programmed to generate up to 200 MHz from a low-cost 10-50 MHz fundamental crystal, or accept a reference input from 10 kHz-200 MHz. They consume less than 10 μA when PDB is activated.
