APPLICATIONS
Low jitter, low phase noise clock distribution
Clock generation and translation for SONET, 10Ge, 10GFC,
Synchronous Ethernet, OTU2/3/4
Forward error correction (G.710)
Clocking high speed ADCs, DACs, DDSs, DDCs, DUCs, MxFEs
High performance wireless transceivers
ATE and high performance instrumentation
Broadband infrastructures
The
AD9520-0
serial interface supports both SPI and I²C ports.
An in-package EEPROM, which can be programmed through the
serial interface, can store user-defined register settings for
power-up and chip reset.
The
AD9520-0
features 12 LVPECL outputs in four groups. Any
of the 1.6 GHz LVPECL outputs can be reconfigured as two
250 MHz CMOS outputs. If an application requires LVDS
drivers instead of LVPECL drivers, refer to the
AD9522-0.
Each group of three outputs has a divider that allows both the
divide ratio (from 1 to 32) and the phase offset or coarse time
delay to be set.
The
AD9520-0
is available in a 64-lead LFCSP and can be operated
from a single 3.3 V supply. The external VCO can have an
operating voltage of up to 5.5 V. A separate output driver power
supply can be from 2.375 V to 3.465 V.
The
AD9520-0
is specified for operation over the standard
industrial range of −40°C to +85°C.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD9520-0
1
provides a multi-output clock distribution
function with subpicosecond jitter performance, along with an
on-chip PLL and VCO. The on-chip VCO tunes from 2.53 GHz
to 2.95 GHz. An external 3.3 V/5 V VCO/VCXO of up to 2.4 GHz
can also be used.
1
AD9520 is used throughout this data sheet to refer to all the members of the AD9520 family. However, when
AD9520-0
is used, it refers to that specific member of the
AD9520 family.
