That 1:12 fanout ratio means one device can clock an entire multi-channel ADC or FPGA transceiver bank without external fanout buffers — saving board space and reducing jitter accumulation from cascaded dividers. ## Industrial temperature range and supply tolerance The supply rail is 3.135V to 3.465V — a tight 3.3V ±5% window — so the board needs a clean regulated rail; a switching regulator feeding this part should have a post-LDO or at least a low-noise LDO to keep the PLL in lock and the output jitter within spec. ## Active production — no end-of-life concern Analog Devices lists the AD9517-0ABCPZ as Active. The part is ROHS3 compliant. ## Input flexibility and output configuration The reference input accepts CMOS, LVDS, or LVPECL levels, so it can lock to a crystal oscillator, a TCXO, or a backplane clock without level translation. The 12 outputs are all differential — LVDS or LVPECL — which means each output pair drives a 100-Ω terminated line with good noise immunity. The divider/multiplier block (Yes/No) lets you generate sub-harmonics of the VCO frequency, but there is no on-chip multiplier for the PLL feedback path. ## Package and thermal pad note The 48-VFQFN exposed-pad package (48-LFCSP-VQ, 7x7 mm) requires a thermal via array under the pad to pull heat into the ground plane. The 0.50 mm pitch demands a solder mask defined pad; a 4-layer board with a continuous ground plane under the part is the recommended stack-up.","metaTitle":"AD9517-0ABCPZ Clock Generator","metaDescription":"AD9517-0ABCPZ: PLL-based clock generator with integrated VCO, 2.95 GHz max output, 1:12 fanout, LVDS/LVPECL outputs, -40°C to 85°C, 48-LFCSP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Clock & Timing ICs"],"specifications":{"PLL":"Yes","Type":"Clock Generator, Fanout Distribution","Input":"CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL","Output":"LVDS, LVPECL","Package":"Tray","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"48-VFQFN Exposed Pad, CSP","Frequency - Max":"2.95GHz","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"3.135V ~ 3.465V","Divider/Multiplier":"Yes/No","Number of Circuits":"1","Ratio - Input:Output":"1:12","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Supplier Device Package":"48-LFCSP-VQ (7x7)","Differential - Input:Output":"Yes/Yes"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$20.64","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$20.64000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$18.96500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$18.17840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":80,"price":"$16.01675","currency":"USD"},{"qty":230,"price":"$15.23061","currency":"USD"},{"qty":440,"price":"$14.24800","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/4a4d0c56e1a2c6578ecb4a3000514138.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the maximum output frequency of the AD9517-0ABCPZ?","answer":"The maximum output frequency is 2.95 GHz. That is the VCO top end; the divider outputs can go lower, but the fundamental limit for the LVDS/LVPECL drivers is the VCO range."},{"question":"Does the AD9517-0ABCPZ have an integrated VCO?","answer":"Yes — the part includes an on-chip VCO as part of the PLL. The datasheet title calls it a '2.8GHz VCO', and the maximum output frequency of 2.95 GHz confirms the VCO covers that range. No external VCO or resonator is needed beyond the reference input."},{"question":"What is a suitable replacement or equivalent for the AD9517-0ABCPZ?","answer":"The closest functional sibling is the AD9518-0ABCPZ. It shares the same PLL, VCO frequency (2.95 GHz), input types, supply voltage, and temperature grade, but its fanout ratio is 1:6 instead of 1:12. If your design needs fewer outputs, the AD9518-0ABCPZ is a drop-in alternative in the same 48-LFCSP package. The AD9516-4BCPZ offers 1:14 fanout with CMOS outputs as well, but its package differs (48-LFCSP vs 56-LFCSP) — verify the footprint before substituting."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/analog-devices/AD9517-0ABCPZ","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/analog-devices/AD9517-0ABCPZ when reusing this data.
