Overview

Description

The RC21212-EVB evaluation board (EVB) is designed for evaluating the RC21212 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 RC21212 can be configured at 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 RC21212 offers various features with a total of 12 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. The RC21212 is ISO 9001 compliant, AEC-Q100 qualified, and provides support for the production part approval process (PPAP).
