The Texas Instruments CDCE6214TWRGERQ1 is an ultra-low power clock generator with an integrated PLL that produces four differential outputs at frequencies up to 350M Hz over an LVDS interface. It operates from a supply of 1.71V to 3.465V, supporting both 1.8V and 3.3V rails, and is qualified to a 105°C maximum operating temperature with a 125°C maximum junction temperature. The device is supplied in a 24-pin VQFN package measuring 4mm by 4mm with a 1mm height. It is currently in production at the manufacturer.

Clock generators with an on-chip PLL are used to synthesize the reference clocks a board needs from one input source, replacing several discrete oscillators and keeping the outputs phase-aligned. Four differential outputs let a single device clock multiple processors, FPGAs, serial transceivers, and data converters on the same card. Hardware engineers in automotive electronics, networking and communications equipment, industrial computing, and data acquisition systems use this class of part for clock distribution and frequency translation. The low supply range and 4mm by 4mm VQFN footprint suit power- and space-constrained designs that still require differential clock quality.
