Diodes Incorporated PI6CG18xQ & PI6CB184Q

The PI6CG18xQ is a family of AEC-Q100 qualified low power PCIe Gen4 clock generators with 2,4 and 8 outputs.

These devices use a 25MHz crystal or CMOS reference input to generate multiple 100MHz HCSL outputs with on-chip terminations. The on-chip termination saves 4 external resistors for each output and board space. An additional buffered reference output is provided to serve as a low noise and synchronous reference.

The PI6CB184Q is an AEC-Q100 qualified low power PCIe Gen4 clock buffer with 4 outputs. This buffer includes on-chip termination and also individual output enables for improved power management.

Both of these Diodes Incorporated clock generators and buffers are packaged in specially designed wettable/sidewalled QFN packages to enable automated visual inspection and testing in automotive production environment.
