Renesas expands its ProXO oscillator portfolio for high-performance communication

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, is expanding its timing solutions portfolio with the ProXO+ family of compact, ultra-low noise, temperature-controlled clock oscillators.

The high-accuracy, high-frequency, differential oscillators are best suited for fiber optic transceiver modules, accelerator cards, smart NIC cards, and networking equipment applications.

“The ProXO+ family delivers on all counts, offering tight frequency stability, great jitter performance, and high output frequency, which are critical features for communications, cloud and compute markets,” said Bobby Matinpour, VP of Timing Products at Renesas. “The ProXO+ family’s high level of programmability also enables the use of a single device for numerous designs, simplifying the BOM, sourcing, and inventory management.”

Features of the ProXO+ Family:

Frequency stability ±3 ppm from -40 to +85 C temperature range
Programmable frequencies up to 2.1 GHz
A 135fs typical phase jitter (12 KHz-20 MHz)
A 3.2 x 2.5 mm in an 8-pin plastic package

In addition to the new ProXO+ family, Renesas is expanding the popular original ProXO XF 2.5 x 2.0 mm device to include two new industry-standard 3.2 x 2.5 mm and 5.0 x 3.2 mm plastic packages.

The ProXO+ family can be combined with Renesas’ complementary clock buffers, power, and microcontroller offerings to create comprehensive solutions for a variety of applications, such as the Xilinx Kintex-7 Power and Timing, the CC-Link IE TSN, and the System-on-Module solution with RZ/G2E.

Renesas currently provides the industry’s broadest timing portfolio to support the complete clock tree. As the market leader in silicon timing with a long history of bringing cutting-edge technologies to the markets, the company offers the only one-stop-shop for timing solutions, offering expertise and products from full-featured system solutions to simple clock tree building-block devices.
