ANALOG DEVICES Leading Inside Advertorials: Single-Chip Clock Generator with 14-Channel Distribution Solves Timing Challenges in Networks Manual
Global demand for communication services requires manufacturers to reduce the size and cost of network equipment while maintaining high standards. Managing clocks is part of building a robust network, requiring system-level synchronization and local signal distribution inside transceiver cabinets.
The Analog Devices AD9516 is an integrated 2.8 GHz clock generator with 14-channel distribution that enables designers to generate 14 clean, low jitter clocks from a single chip. It features built-in phase offset capability and programmable delay lines for LVDS/CMOS channels.
