Programmable clock generators offer 'best in class' jitter performance
The VersaClock 5 family, announced today by IDT, is designed to offer best in class jitter performance at half the power of competing programmable clock generators.
The multi-output timing solutions are aimed at cost sensitive, low power consumer and communications applications.
The 5P49V5901 is an in-system programmable clock generator featuring four universal output pairs capable of producing independent frequencies up to 350MHz in various output types.
The device consolidates four differential or eight single ended clock generators, and can store up to four different configuration settings, helping to minimise board space and BOM.
With RMS phase jitter less than 0.7ps over the full 12kHz to 20MHz integration range, the 5P49V5901 meets the stringent jitter requirements of PCI Express Gen 1/2/3, USB 3.0, and 1G/10G Ethernet.
The clock generator operates at less than 100mW core power (50% lower than competing devices), helping to ease system thermal constraints, reduce operating power expenses, and maximise battery life.
