Description
The low jitter clock multiplexer 8V54816ANLG from Renesas (ex. IDT) is a well recognized silicon used with many applications in science and industry whenever the clock distribution inside a MicroTCA system requires maximum flexibility regarding multiple possible clock sources and the ability to switch among these at run-time.
Its end of life with a last time buy date in 2023 and the fact that there is no 1:1 replacement available today requires that MicroTCA component vendors develop strategies to help customers maintain their current applications and explore option for future upgrades.
By the example of the NAT-MCH and its associated clock modules this presentation will explore a go-forward strategy and the impact on the future use of the product and on the applications it is used in.
