Jitter cleaner in a 10x10 BGA
The LMK04616ZCRT is a jitter cleaner from Texas Instruments, designed to reduce phase noise and jitter in clock distribution networks. It sits in the Clock & Timing ICs family and comes in a 144-NFBGA package measuring 10x10 mm — a fine-pitch BGA that demands a controlled reflow profile and proper X-ray inspection after placement. The part is supplied on Tape & Reel (TR), which is the standard format for automated pick-and-place assembly. The 144-ball array with 0.8 mm pitch (typical for this class) means the board footprint needs to match the supplier device package exactly — the 144-NFBGA (10x10) designation confirms the package outline.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life watch needed
Because the part is active, sourcing runs through authorized distribution channels.
Board-fit and reflow considerations
The 144-NFBGA package with a 10x10 mm body and 0.8 mm ball pitch is a standard BGA footprint. Surface-mount assembly with a lead-free reflow profile (peak 245-260 °C) is typical for this package family. The 144-ball array requires good solder paste deposition and a stencil aperture design that matches the ball diameter — under-printing risks opens on the outer rows, which are the hardest to rework under a BGA.
