Renesa Electronics launched a new programmable clock generator, creating an ideal product in the industry that perfectly combines programmability, pow
2022-11-29

Renesa Electronics (TSE: 6723), a global semiconductor solution provider, today announced the launch of a new clock generator, VersaClock ® 7。 This programmable clock generator product family with internally integrated crystal version is applicable to PCIe in high-end computing systems, wired infrastructure and data center equipment ® And network applications. VersaClock 7 has unparalleled flexibility, enabling designers to configure different output frequencies, set input/output (I/O) levels, and define general-purpose I/O (GPIO) pin functions. It establishes a new standard in combining low power consumption, high cost performance and small size packaging.

Zaher Baidas, Vice President of Renesa Electronic Clock Product Department, said: "The timing requirements of different applications and devices may vary greatly, and often change during the product design cycle. VersaClock 7 provides our users with the flexibility to configure multiple parameters, while creating the best value for their specific performance requirements."

Susie Inouye, chief analyst of Databeans in Reno, Nevada, said: "High integration and flexible programmability help manufacturers reduce the number of components to save board space and power consumption. In addition, using fewer components can reduce the risk of production caused by supply chain interruption and other issues."

Key Features of VersaClock 7 Clock Generator

• 8 -/12 - differential output with integrated crystal option
• 12k-20MHz RMS Jitter as low as 150fs
• Support 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V power supply
• Digital hold and non disruptive switching of different inputs
• Support SPI/I2C/SMBUS interface
• PCIe Gen 1-6 compliant
• Support synchronous Ethernet
• 5mm × 5mm、6mm × 6mm QFN package, saving board space
• Support OTP or external suspension EEPROM with up to 27 different configurations

Easy configuration with the new Risa IC toolbox (RICBox)
Renesa provides a new RICBox Windows application for configuring VersaClock 7 devices, enabling users to complete configuration creation and device programming on the evaluation board. As a newly launched platform, RICBox provides customers with cutting-edge software for the evaluation of Renesa products. Customers can use Python drivers or Windows GUI to create custom configurations and program the VersaClock 7 devices on the evaluation board.

Users can create optimal configurations for devices by setting higher-order parameters without the need for relevant expertise. Through the seamless connection between RICBox and Reza's innovative cloud lab platform, users can download the configuration they created and use RICBox locally. Or, they can start from RICBox and upload its configuration to the cloud lab to analyze the performance.

Successful Portfolio

Renesa combines the VersaClock 7 clock generator with many analog and power products to build a comprehensive solution for various applications. For example, the successful product portfolio of "Power Supply and Timing System of AI Accelerator Card" integrates RC21008A programmable VersaClock 7, 9QXL2001 PCIe buffer, and ISL99390 90A intelligent power level module. The new VersaClock 7 can be used in Renesa Cloud Lab for users to evaluate the phase noise performance of a specific clock configuration on a circuit board using a phase noise analyzer. It is available under the "Clock IC and Clock Timing Solutions" category. Rexa's "successful product portfolio" is based on components that are compatible with each other and can work seamlessly. It has a technically proven system architecture, which brings optimized low-risk design to accelerate the speed of product launch. Renesa has launched more than 300 "successful product combinations" based on various products in its product portfolio, thus accelerating the user design process and bringing products to the market faster.
