Analog Devices AD9523-1 Low Jitter Clock Generator Datasheet
The AD9523-1 provides a low‑power, multi‑output clock distribution solution with configurable output standards and a zero‑delay operation. It integrates two PLLs, a VCO, and an on‑chip EEPROM for storing configuration settings. The device supports output frequencies from below 1 MHz up to 1 GHz and offers fine‑resolution adjustable delay for timing alignment.
Typical applications include LTE and multicarrier GSM base stations, wireless and broadband infrastructure, high‑speed ADC/DAC clocking, and 10 Gbps protocol timing. The datasheet details electrical specifications, pin configurations, serial control interfaces (SPI/I²C), and thermal considerations for board designers.
