Quad HCSL clock source for PCIe and Ethernet reference
HCSL is the standard output type for PCIe reference clocks, and the 100/125 MHz frequencies cover PCIe Gen1-3 and 1GbE/10GbE reference requirements from a single device.
Operating from 2.25V to 3.6V, the oscillator can run on a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an external LDO, simplifying the power tree.
Package footprint and thermal pad planning
The 20-VFQFN Exposed Pad package measures 5.00mm x 3.20mm with a 0.90mm height. The 0.50mm pitch QFN footprint requires a solder-paste stencil aperture that matches the pad size to avoid bridging.
