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 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 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).
