DSC400-1111Q0084
Crystal-less™ Configurable Clock Generator
General Description
The DSC400-1111Q0084 is a four output
crystal-less™ clock generator. It utilizes Microchip's
proven PureSilicon™ MEMS technology to provide
excellent jitter and stability while incorporating
additional device functionality.
The frequencies of the outputs can be identical or
independently derived from two shared PLLs. Each
output may be configured independently to support
LVCMOS, LVPECL, LVDS, or HCSL output
standards.
The DSC400-1111Q0084 provides two independent
select lines for choosing between two sets of pre-
configured frequencies per bank. It also has two OE
pins to allow for enabling and disabling outputs.

DSC400-1111Q0084
Operational Description
The DSC400-1111Q0084 is a crystal-less™ clock generator. Unlike older clock generators in the industry, it does not require an
external crystal to operate; it relies on integrated MEMS resonators that interface with internal PLLs. This technology enhances
performance and reliability by allowing tighter frequency stability over a far wider temperature range. In addition, the higher
resistance to shock and vibration decreases the aging rate, greatly improving product life in the system.
Inputs
There are 4 input signals in the device. Each has an internal (40kOhms) pull up, which defaults the selection to a high (1). Inputs
can be controlled through hardware strapping method with a resistor to ground to assert the input low (0). Inputs may also be
controlled by other components' GPIOs. In case more than one frequency set is desired, FSB1 and FSB2 are used for independent-
ly selecting one of two sets frequency per bank. FSB1 selects the pre-configured frequency set on Bank 1 (CLK1 and CLK4) and
FSB2 selects the pre-configured frequency set on Bank 2 (CLK3 and CLK2). If there is a requirement to disable outputs, the
inputs OE1 and OE2 are used to disable the banks of outputs. Outputs are disabled in tristate (Hi-Z) mode, see Table 1 below.

Outputs
The four outputs are grouped into two banks. Each bank is supplied by an independent VDD to allow for optimized noise
isolation between the two banks. Each bank provides two synchronous outputs generated by a common PLL:
• Bank 1 is composed of outputs CLK1 and CLK4
• Bank 2 is composed of outputs CLK3 and CLK2
Each output maybe pre-configured independently to be one of the following formats: LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL or HCSL.
In case the output is configured to be single ended (LVCMOS only), the frequency is generated on the true output (CLKx+) and
the complement output (CLKx-) is shut off in a low state. Frequencies can be chosen from 2.3MHz to 460MHz for differential
outputs and from 2.3MHz to 170MHz on LVCMOS outputs.

Power
VDD1 and VDD2 supply the power to banks 1 and 2 respectively. Each VDD may have different supply voltage from the other
as long as it is within the 2.25V to 3.6V range. Each VDD pin should have a 0.1µF capacitor to filter high frequency noise.
VSS is common to the entire device. The exposed die paddle should be connected to VSS.

Notes:
1. VDD pins should be filtered with 0.1µF capacitor connected between VDD and VSS.
2. The addition of IDDcore and IDDio provides total current consumption of the device.
3. tSU is time to 100ppm stable output frequency after VDD is applied and outputs are enabled.
4. Output Waveform figures below the parameters. See Output Waveform section.
