RENESAS RC21214-EVB Evaluation Board, RC21214A, USB Cable, Programmable Clock Generator, Clock & Timing

RC21214-EVB is a 8-output AutoClock programmable clock generator evaluation board. This evaluation board (EVB) is designed for evaluating the RC21214 using clock generation in synthesizer mode for commercial automotive applications and PCIe Gen 1-6 compliance. When the EVB is connected via USB to the computer running the Renesas Integrated Circuit Toolbox (RICBox�) software, the RC21214 can be configured in various frequencies with best-in-class commercial performance. The EVB can function in the temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and is capable of operating in VDD values of 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V. The RC21214 offers various features with a total of 8 pairs of differential outputs. Each pair of outputs can be programmed to LVCMOS, LVDS, and LP-HCSL style outputs. There are seven general purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs) and two general purpose inputs (GPIs) to support output enables, configuration selection, and status outputs. Voltage levels can be set by jumpers.

• Crystal or crystal overdrive (REFIN) via SMA
• Available sense lines on crystal overdrive
• Test points on outputs for Hi-Z probes
• Jumper selectable voltage setting for 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V powered from USB
• Onboard I2C and SPI communication
• GPI/GPIO LED indicator and DIP switch
• Multiple configurations can be stored in internal One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory
• Seven programmable general-purpose input/outputs (GPIO)
• PCIe SRIS and SRNS support, 1.8V or 3.3V operation
• 1KHz to 650MHz (differential) and 1KHz to 200MHz (single-ended) outputs
