Analog Devices AD9518-0 Clock Generator Datasheet
The AD9518-0 provides multi‑output clock distribution with sub‑picosecond jitter performance. It features an on‑chip PLL and VCO that tunes from 2.55 GHz to 2.95 GHz, six LVPECL outputs (three differential pairs) up to 1.6 GHz, and programmable delays and lock‑detect options. The device operates from a single 3.3 V supply and can accept LVPECL, LVDS or CMOS reference inputs up to 250 MHz.
Typical applications include high‑speed networking line cards, high‑performance ADC/DAC clocking, wireless transceivers, and test instrumentation. The part is specified for industrial temperature range (‑40 °C to +85 °C) and is available in a 48‑lead LFCSP package.
