Clocking ICs improve performance in timing signal chain says ADI
Analog Devices has announced two clock products which it claims can improve performance in timing signal chains for communications infrastructure.
According to ADI, when designed in as part of a complete timing signal chain, they not only improve performance but reduce programming and design complexity in synchronous optical networks and wireless base stations.
The AD9553 clock generator has been designed primarily for low cost clock translation needs in GPON, SONET/SDH OC-48 (synchronous optical networking/synchronous digital hierarchy), test and measurement, data acquisition, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, T1/E1, broadcast video and other wireless and wired communications applications.
The ADCLK944 is designed to improve signal-to-noise ratio performance from data converters in wireless base stations as well as provide low-power, low-jitter performance for SONET/SDH optical networks.
