Clock-tree workhorse with 800 MHz ceiling
The Texas Instruments CDCM6208V2RGZR is a clock generator that takes in CML, LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or crystal inputs and delivers up to eight outputs in CML, HCSL, LVCMOS, LVDS, or LVPECL formats. It integrates a PLL with bypass mode, so you can either clean up a jittery reference or pass a clean clock straight through. The 800 MHz maximum output frequency covers PCIe Gen3/4 reference clocks, 10G Ethernet, and high-speed ADC/DAC sample clocks without needing a separate divider stage.
Supply and temperature range — design margin
Supply voltage spans 1.71 V to 3.465 V. The industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C suits outdoor telecom cabinets, base stations, and industrial Ethernet switches where the ambient can swing hard. The 48-VQFN with exposed pad (7x7 mm) needs a good thermal via stitch under the pad if you push multiple outputs near the max frequency simultaneously — the package ceiling is the limit, not the per-output current.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
ROHS3 compliant, so no exemption expiry to track for EU shipments. No LTB risk for new designs, and the wide supply range plus multi-protocol I/O make it a drop-in for many existing clock-tree layouts.
