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.
"The new clock modules from ON Semiconductor represent the company's entry into the frequency control market, leveraging its long leadership position in high-performance ultra-low-jitter clock distribution", says Dan Huettl, ON Semiconductor General Manager and Director of the Advanced Logic Division.
"These new silicon-based crystal oscillators are simpler to manufacture and provide superior jitter performance compared with expensive crystal oscillators".
"This supports lower overall system costs and shortened lead times".
The new NBXSBA010, NBXDBA012, NBXDBA014, NBXDBA015, NBXDDA016, NBXDBA017, NBXDBA018, NBXSBA020 and NBXSBA021 crystal oscillator modules use a high Q fundamental mode crystal and analogue phase lock loop multiplier to provide single or dual frequency, ultra low jitter and phase noise LVPECL/CML differential output.
The NBXSxxx (single frequency) and NBXDxxx (dual frequency) family of crystal oscillators include the industry's best long-term time domain jitter performance and exceptional device noise floor of -163dBc/Hz at 10MHz offset with phase RMS jitter of 0.4ps when integrated 12Hz to 20MHz allowing bigger clock timing margins for whole system clock tree.
They create subpicosecond jitter quality clocks delivering single and/or dual frequency of 100, 106.25, 125, 155.52, 156.25, 200.00, 212.5, 250, 311.04 and 312.5MHz that are ideal for 1x/2x Fibre Channel, SATA, iSCSI, PCIe, Sonet/SDH, Ethernet and clock margining applications.
These devices are available in 5.0 x 7.0mm SMD (CLCC-6) packages.
The NBXSxxx (single frequency) and NBXDxxx (dual frequency) are budgetary priced at US $5.99 for +/-50ppm (frequency accuracy) and US $7.50 for +/-20ppm (frequency accuracy) per unit for 1000-unit quantities.
