Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The CDCE925PWRG4 is a functional superset of the CDCE913PWR, offering three PLLs and five outputs versus one PLL and three outputs, while sharing the same 24-pin TSSOP footprint, 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range, and I²C programmable architecture. It can serve as a drop-in replacement in most designs where the additional output channels and PLL resources are acceptable, though configuration registers and output assignments must be revalidated against the target application.

Frequently asked questions
What are the CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4?
The CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4 are Texas Instruments programmable clock generators from the CDCE(L)9xx family. The CDCE913PWR is a 1-PLL, 3-output programmable clock synthesizer in a 16-pin TSSOP package, while the CDCE925PWRG4 is a 2-PLL, 5-output programmable clock synthesizer in a 24-pin TSSOP package.
How do the output counts differ between the CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4?
The CDCE913PWR provides 3 programmable outputs from a single PLL, whereas the CDCE925PWRG4 provides 5 programmable outputs from two independent PLLs, allowing more simultaneous output frequencies and greater flexibility in multi-clock systems.
Do the CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4 support the same input reference frequency?
Both devices accept a crystal input or an external reference clock. The CDCE913PWR supports a crystal frequency range of 8 MHz to 32 MHz, and the CDCE925PWRG4 supports a crystal frequency range of 8 MHz to 32 MHz as well, per the Texas Instruments CDCE(L)9xx datasheet.
Are the CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4 pin-compatible?
No. The CDCE913PWR uses a 16-pin TSSOP package, while the CDCE925PWRG4 uses a 24-pin TSSOP package. The different pin counts and pin assignments prevent direct pin-to-pin substitution without PCB redesign.
What supply voltage do the CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4 require?
Both devices operate from a 3.3 V nominal supply, with a recommended operating range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V for the core and I/O, as specified in the Texas Instruments CDCE(L)9xx datasheet.
Can the CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4 be programmed via the same interface?
Yes. Both devices are programmed through an I2C-compatible serial interface and support non-volatile EEPROM configuration, allowing default settings to be stored and loaded at power-up without external programming.
Which device should be selected for a design requiring more than three clock outputs?
The CDCE925PWRG4 should be selected when more than three outputs are needed, since it provides five outputs and two PLLs. The CDCE913PWR is limited to three outputs from one PLL and is better suited to simpler, lower-output-count designs.
Do the CDCE913PWR and CDCE925PWRG4 have the same operating temperature range?
Both devices are specified for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, as stated in the Texas Instruments CDCE(L)9xx datasheet.
