Product details
Overview
AD9576BCPZ from Analog Devices is a dual-PLL asynchronous clock generator IC with two independent PLL cores (fractional-N and integer-N), 11 configurable differential output pairs, 2.5 V/3.3 V single-supply operation, −40°C to +85°C temperature range, and 64-lead 9 mm × 9 mm LFCSP package - used in Ethernet line cards, baseband units, and SATA/PCIe systems requiring low-jitter timing.
For engineers reviewing the AD9576BCPZ datasheet, AD9576BCPZ pinout, AD9576BCPZ application, or AD9576BCPZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including fractional-N PLL VCO range (2375–2725 MHz), integer-N PLL VCO range (750–825 MHz), RMS jitter as low as 0.053 ps (1.875 MHz–20 MHz integration), 11-output drive format flexibility (HSTL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS), and reference switchover capability with <220 ps phase disturbance.
Technical Context
The AD9576BCPZ integrates a high-performance fractional-N PLL (2375–2725 MHz VCO) optimized for low-jitter network clock synthesis and a separate integer-N PLL (750–825 MHz VCO) for general-purpose CPU/FPGA reference generation. Both PLLs support independent reference inputs, with automatic redundant XTAL switchover and minimal transient disturbance.
It features pin-strappable power-on configurations (PPRx) for 11 outputs and full SPI/I²C programmability. Output distribution includes three HSTL/LVDS/HCSL/1.8 V CMOS outputs and eight HSTL/LVDS/1.8 V CMOS outputs, all differential, with zero-delay alignment (as low as 3.44 ns) and sub-30 ps inter-output skew for same-divider groups.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by AD9576BCPZ?
The AD9576BCPZ supports up to 1250 MHz on OUT4–OUT7 (HSTL/LVDS) and OUT0–OUT3 (HSTL/LVDS), and 1000 MHz on OUT8–OUT10 (HSTL/LVDS/HCSL). Full-swing CMOS outputs on OUT8–OUT10 operate up to 250 MHz. These limits are defined by the internal dividers and output driver architectures - exceeding them risks timing violation or degraded jitter performance. The AD9576BCPZ datasheet specifies these values under 2.5 V/3.3 V supply and −40°C to +85°C conditions.
Does AD9576BCPZ support automatic switchover between two crystal references?
Yes, the AD9576BCPZ supports automatic redundant XTAL switchover between REF0 and REF1 with minimal transient impact: <220 ps instantaneous phase disturbance and <350 ppm instantaneous frequency disturbance. This function operates independently of host software, using internal reference monitoring circuitry. REF2 serves as a third optional crystal input, but automatic switchover is only implemented between REF0 and REF1. The AD9576BCPZ implements this via dedicated hardware logic, not SPI-triggered state machines.
What output logic formats does AD9576BCPZ support, and how are they assigned?
The AD9576BCPZ supports HSTL, LVDS, HCSL, 1.8 V CMOS, 2.5 V CMOS, and 3.3 V CMOS across its 11 output pairs. OUT0–OUT7 support HSTL, LVDS, or 1.8 V CMOS; OUT8–OUT10 add HCSL and full-swing CMOS (2.5 V/3.3 V). Format selection is per-output-group via SPI registers or PPRx pin strapping. Each output pair (e.g., OUT2+/OUT2−) must use the same format - mixed logic types within a pair are not supported. The AD9576BCPZ requires appropriate termination (e.g., 100 Ω differential for LVDS/HSTL) per selected format.
Can AD9576BCPZ generate both integer-N and fractional-N outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the AD9576BCPZ can generate integer-N and fractional-N outputs concurrently: the fractional-N PLL (PLL0) drives OUT0–OUT7, while the integer-N PLL (PLL1) drives OUT8–OUT10. This allows, for example, 156.25 MHz (integer-N, low-jitter) for Ethernet PHYs and 644.5313 MHz (fractional-N, agile) for SerDes CDRs from the same device. The AD9576BCPZ achieves this through physically separate PLL cores, VCOs, and distribution paths - no shared resources limit concurrent operation.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for AD9576BCPZ operation?
The AD9576BCPZ requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.38 V on all VDD_x pins (including VDD_REFMON, VDD_PLL0, VDD_OUT01, etc.) for guaranteed operation across −40°C to +85°C. While 2.5 V ±5% (2.375–2.625 V) and 3.3 V ±10% (2.97–3.63 V) are the nominal supported rails, operation below 2.38 V may result in undefined behavior, failed lock detection, or increased jitter. The AD9576BCPZ datasheet specifies 2.38 V as the absolute minimum across all supply domains - not just the main IO rail.
