Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced a next-generation wideband mmWave synthesizer with the industry’s highest performance and unique set of features optimized for 5G and broadband wireless applications. The flagship 8V97003 device is ideal as a local oscillator (LO) for mmWave and beamforming, or a precision reference clock for a high-speed data converter in numerous applications such as test and measurements, optical networking, and data acquisition.
Bobby Matinpour, Vice President of Timing Products, IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit at Renesas commented that the new 8V97003 has been developed for the latest generation of high-performance mmWave radios, ensuring it meets their customers’ most demanding frequency range, phase noise, and output power requirements. With its best-in-class performance in a single-chip design, the 8V97003 is particularly well-suited for emerging applications above the 6 GHz carrier frequency, including broadband wireless, microwave backhaul, and 5G radios.
The 8V97003 delivers the industry’s best combination of a wide frequency range (171.875 MHz to 18 GHz), ultra-low output phase noise (-60.6dBc at 20 kHz to 100 MHz at 6 GHz) and high output power over its entire frequency range. The wide frequency range enables customers to use a single 8V97003 in place of multiple synthesizer modules reducing solution footprint and cost. Its high output power eliminates the need for external drivers, further reducing complexity and overall power consumption without compromising performances. The ultra-low output phase noise makes it an excellent choice for 5G and other wireless applications as it enables superior system-level signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and error vector magnitude (EVM). As a reference clock for high-speed data converters, 8V97003 maximizes system performance by improving SNR and spurious-free-dynamic-range (SFDR).
Availability
Mass production quantities of the 8V97003 are now available in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-lead VFQFPN package.
