Product details
Overview
AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 from Analog Devices is a dual-PLL, 7-output clock generator IC optimized for fiber channel and Gigabit Ethernet line cards. It delivers seven synchronized clock outputs-including 156.25 MHz, dual 106.25 MHz, dual 100/125 MHz (strappable), 33.33 MHz CMOS, and 25 MHz reference-using integrated loop filters and a 25 MHz crystal input. Its 0.19 ps rms jitter at 156.25 MHz (LVDS, 1.875–20 MHz band) supports low-error-rate 10G SFP+ and PCIe timing.
For engineers reviewing the AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 datasheet, AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 pinout, AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 application, or AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include output format flexibility (LVPECL/LVDS/CMOS), strappable 100/125 MHz selection, additive phase noise performance below −120 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, and 40-lead LFCSP package compatibility with high-density optical module layouts.
Technical Context
The AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 integrates two independent integer-N PLL cores: one optimized for Fibre Channel (FC) at 156.25 MHz with dedicated VCO, PFD/CP, and third-order loop filter; the other for Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) at 106.25 MHz, also with full on-die loop filtering. Both PLLs accept a single 25 MHz crystal or clock via REFCLK and use preprogrammed feedback/output dividers-no external programming required.
Output drivers are configurable per pin strapping: FREQSEL selects 100 MHz or 125 MHz for Pins 19/20/21/22; REFSEL chooses between crystal oscillator or external REFCLK; FORCE_LOW forces Pin 23 (33.33 MHz) low. All seven outputs operate from a single 3.3 V supply, with separate VS rails per functional block to isolate noise coupling.

Pinout & Package
AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 uses a 40-lead, 6 mm × 6 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) with exposed thermal paddle that must be soldered to ground for electrical and thermal integrity. Pin 1 is marked by dot; exposed paddle (EPAD) is electrically GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 4, 23 | CMOS Clock Outputs | 25 MHz (Pin 4) and 33.33 MHz (Pin 23) single-ended outputs; each sourced/sunk at 1 mA with 0.25–2.6 ns rise/fall times |
| 17–18, 29–30, 31–32, 19–20, 21–22 | Differential Clock Outputs | LVPECL/LVDS pairs: 156.25 MHz (17/18), dual 106.25 MHz (29/30, 31/32), dual 100/125 MHz (19/20, 21/22); VOD = 250–950 mV depending on format |
| 6–7, 8 | Crystal Interface | XTAL pins (6/7) connect 25 MHz crystal; REFCLK (Pin 8) accepts external 25 MHz clock if REFSEL = low |
| 9, 27, 37 | Configuration Inputs | REFSEL (Pin 9): selects crystal vs. REFCLK; FREQSEL (Pin 27): selects 100/125 MHz; FORCE_LOW (Pin 37): disables 33.33 MHz output |
| 1, 10, 34, EPAD | Ground | All GND pins-including exposed paddle-must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity and thermal dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Low additive jitter performance | 0.19 ps rms (156.25 MHz LVDS, 1.875–20 MHz) enables direct use in 10G SFP+ PHY timing without additional jitter cleaning |
| Multi-format output drivers | Single device supports LVPECL (for backplane), LVDS (for FPGA I/O), and CMOS (for ASIC control)-reducing SKU proliferation |
| Dedicated power domains per function block | 10 independent VS pins isolate noise between crystal oscillator, FC PLL, GbE PLL, and each output buffer group |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338A-D-GM | Programmable I²C-based 4-output clock generator; requires external EEPROM and configuration; higher jitter (0.65 ps rms @ 156.25 MHz) | Used where frequency flexibility > jitter performance; supports non-standard rates (e.g., 122.88 MHz for CPRI) | Select when custom output frequencies or dynamic reconfiguration are required; not drop-in for AD9572ACPZLVD-R7's fixed-ratio, pin-strapped operation. |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed 7-output LVDS-only generator; no CMOS or LVPECL support; higher power (1.2 W); no 156.25 MHz output (max 125 MHz) | Targeted at cost-sensitive Gigabit Ethernet only; lacks FC-specific 156.25 MHz and 33.33 MHz outputs | Choose for pure LVDS 100/125 MHz applications where 156.25 MHz and multi-format support are unnecessary. |
Compared with Si5338A-D-GM and ICS8430I-01T, AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 uniquely combines FC-optimized 156.25 MHz generation, strappable 100/125 MHz, and triple-format outputs in a single fixed-function IC-enabling faster time-to-market for optical line cards without firmware development or external memory.

FAQ
What is the primary clock input requirement for AD9572ACPZLVD-R7?
The AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 requires a 25 MHz fundamental-mode crystal (14 pF load, 50 Ω ESR) connected to Pins 6 and 7, or a 25 MHz CMOS clock applied to Pin 8 (REFCLK). REFSEL (Pin 9) selects between these sources. No external oscillator is needed-the internal crystal oscillator circuit drives the PLLs directly.
How does AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 support both 100 MHz and 125 MHz outputs?
AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 supports both 100 MHz and 125 MHz outputs on Pins 19/20/21/22 via the FREQSEL pin (Pin 27). When FREQSEL is pulled low, the outputs are configured for 100 MHz; when pulled high, they deliver 125 MHz. This strapping eliminates the need for register programming or external configuration devices.
Can AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 generate all seven outputs simultaneously?
Yes, AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 is designed to drive all seven outputs concurrently: 156.25 MHz (Pins 17/18), dual 106.25 MHz (Pins 29/30 and 31/32), dual 100/125 MHz (Pins 19/20 and 21/22), 33.33 MHz (Pin 23), and 25 MHz (Pin 4). Power dissipation remains within spec (0.71 W LVDS / 1.07 W LVPECL) under full-load conditions.
What is the role of the exposed paddle (EPAD) on AD9572ACPZLVD-R7?
The exposed paddle on AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 is an electrical connection to ground-not just thermal. It must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to ensure proper device operation, noise immunity, and thermal dissipation. Leaving it unconnected or floating will cause functional failure or degraded jitter performance.
Does AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 require external loop filter components?
No, AD9572ACPZLVD-R7 integrates third-order loop filters for both PLLs. Only bypass capacitors (220 nF on BYPASS1/Pin 36 and BYPASS2/Pin 14) are required. This eliminates external resistors/capacitors, reduces board area, and removes loop filter tuning-accelerating design validation for fiber channel and Ethernet timing systems.
