VersaClock® LP

VersaClock Low Power (LP) products from IDT allow the designer to save board space, power consumption and cost by replacing crystals, oscillators and buffers with a single timing device. Exceptional versatility and configurability allow for maximum freedom in the design process. VersaClock LP devices may be used in a variety of battery-powered applications.

Software Requirements

 

This software calculates solutions for the VersaClock LP family of programmable clocks. The configuration code generated by this software may be programmed through the I2C device port, enabling users to try out a variety of solutions with minimal turnaround time.


The VersaClock LP devices do not need or have a programmer like the one used for the earlier parts. The parts may be programmed on the board through the I2C port in production.


Supported Platforms: 400 MHz Pentium II or later running Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and NT 4.0


Installation Requires: Microsoft Installer (MSI) Version 2.0. This is included with Windows Vista, XP and Windows 2000 SP3.
