NEC Electronics has implemented a True Circuits clock generator PLL in a new SPI-4.2 interface hard macro fabricated in NEC's 130nm process technology.

NEC Electronics has implemented a True Circuits clock generator PLL in a new SPI-4.2 interface hard macro fabricated in NEC's 130nm process technology "We selected True Circuits' clock generator PLL for this high-speed communications application because of its small size, wide frequency range and superior low-jitter performance", said Hideya Horikawa, Senior Design Engineering Manager, NEC Electronics America

"The performance of the TCI PLL will enable our ASIC customers to successfully implement multiple SPI-4.2 macros in their high-end telecommunication ASICs and help meet the tight jitter and power budgets required for 10Gbit/s Sonet/SDH systems".

"Our clock generator PLL hard macros are very flexible, have wide frequency and multiplication ranges, and produce optimal jitter performance over all multiplication settings", noted Dr John G Maneatis, President of True Circuits.

"These design characteristics were particularly important for this high-speed interface application and we are proud to bring this timing flexibility and performance to NEC Electronics and their many ASIC customers".
