3 Description

The high frequency capability, extremely low jitter

and programmable clock input and output delay

of this device, makes a great approach to clock

high precision, high-frequency data converters without

degradation of signal-to-noise ratio. Each of the four

high frequency clock outputs and additional LOGICLK

outputs with larger divider range, is paired with a

SYSREF output clock signal. The SYSREF signal

for JESD204B/C interfaces can either be internally

generated or passed in as an input and re-clocked

to the device clocks. The noiseless delay adjustment

at input path of the high frequency clock input

and individual clock output paths insures low skew

clocks in multi-channel system. For data converter

clocking application, having the jitter of the clock

less than the aperture jitter of the data converter

is important. In applications where more than four

data converters need to be clocked, a variety of

cascading architectures can be developed using

multiple devices to distribute all the high frequency

clocks and SYSREF signals required. This device,

combined with an ultra-low noise reference clock

source, is an exemplary choice for clocking data

converters, especially when sampling above 3GHz.
