Low jitter for drop-in PLL synthesiser replacement
The NBC12429FN is a 3.3/5.0V programmable PLL clock synthesiser that provides a 25 to 400MHz system clock ideal for the primary timing signals in networking, telecomms and test hardware.
Meritorious performance from N-channel MOSFETs
Continuing the expansion of its portfolio of low-voltage power MOSFETs for switching and power management applications, ON Semiconductor has released a range of new N-channel devices.
Current-mode logic is one of the most convenient protocols for high-speed interfacing and is quickly becoming the protocol of choice for emerging, high bandwidth, networking applications.
The NBSG16M simplifies initial conditions and connection termination with on-chip 50ohm input and output termination.
Like reduced swing ECL (RSECL), the small 400mV signal swing of CML results in reduced power consumption.
The irregularities that result from back reflection of signals later in the circuit - which is common to high-frequency signalling - are minimized by the on-chip termination.
Capable of data rates above 10Gbit/s, the NBSG16M is the industry's fastest CML receiver/driver and ideal for high-performance applications in OC-192 applications.
High-speed backplane interfacing is simplified with propagation delay below 150ps and rise and fall times below 53ps.
Combined with the design flexibility inherent in CML, the performance capability of the NBSG16M results in an optimum solution for data transmission in networking applications.
Like all members of the GigaComm family, this device features ON Semiconductor's AnyLevel technology that includes 50ohm input termination resistors and accepts all major signalling standards - specifically negative ECL (LVNECL), PECL, LVCMOS/LVTTL, CML or LVDS.
The NBSG16M is packaged in the 3 x 3mm 16-pin quad flat no-lead (QFN) package, offering a minimum impact to board space and industrial-grade temperature tolerance (-40 to +85C).
It is priced at $20 per unit in 10,000-unit quantities.
