The KSN-1024A+ is a Frequency Synthesizer, designed to operate 1024 MHz for digital TV
distribution application. The KSN-1024A+ is packaged in a metal case (size of 0.80" x 0.58"
x 0.15") to shield against unwanted signals and noise.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Low phase noise and spurious:
• Phase Noise: -111 dBc/Hz typ. @ 10 kHz offset
Low phase noise and spurious improve system EVM (Error
• Step Size Spurious: -95 dBc typ.
Vector Magnitude).
• Comparison Spurious: -89 dBc typ.
• Reference Spurious: -94 dBc typ.
To enhance the robustness of KSN-1024A+, each internal
component is secured to the substrate with chip bonder, thereby
eliminating the risk of tombstoning during subsequent solder reflow
operations by the customer.
The small size enables the KSN-1024A+ to be used in compact
designs.
