Microchip Technology PL500-17SC

PL500-17SC Overview
Microchip Technology is a well-known and reputable brand in the electronic industry, known for its high-quality and reliable products. The specific part in question is a Clock/Timing chip, specifically categorized as a Clock Generator, PLL, and Frequency Synthesizer. These types of chips are essential in electronic devices as they provide accurate and stable timing signals for the proper functioning of the device. One of the key parameters of this Microchip Technology chip is the number of pins, which is 8. This means that the chip has 8 connection points, allowing it to be connected to other components in a circuit. This particular chip was first published in 2012, showcasing its longevity and continued relevance in the market. Its active status also indicates that it is still in production and readily available for purchase. In terms of its technical specifications, the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of this chip is 3, which means that it can withstand exposure to moisture for up to 168 hours without any damage. This is an important factor to consider, especially for electronic devices that may be used in varying environments. The terminal finish of this chip is Matte Tin (Sn) - annealed, which is a common and reliable choice for electronic components. When it comes to power supply, the chip has a voltage range of 2.25V~3.63V, making it suitable for a wide range of devices. Its output is LVCMOS and TTL, which are two common types of logic families used in electronic circuits. Additionally, this chip has 1 circuit, meaning that it can generate one timing signal at a time. One notable feature of this Microchip Technology chip is that it does not have a PLL (Phase-Locked Loop). PLLs are commonly used in clock/timing chips to generate stable and precise signals, but this chip does not require one. Furthermore, it does not have a differential input or output, meaning that it does not have the ability to convert between differential and single-ended signals. In conclusion, the Microchip Technology Clock/Timing chip is a reliable and versatile component that offers accurate timing signals for electronic devices. Its various parameters, such as number of pins, MSL, and voltage range, make it suitable for a wide range of applications. With its active status and publication date of 2012, it is a trusted and proven choice for electronic designers and manufacturers.
