DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
6954
is a family of very low phase noise clock
distribution parts. Each part has three outputs and each
output has an individually programmable frequency
divider and delay. There are four members of the family,
differing in their output logic signal type:
LTC6954-1:
Three LVPECL outputs
LTC6954-2:
Two LVPECL and one LVDS/CMOS outputs
LTC6954-3:
One LVPECL and two LVDS/CMOS outputs
LTC6954-4:
Three LVDS/CMOS outputs
Each output is individually programmable to divide the
input frequency by any integer from 1 to 63, and to delay
each output by 0 to 63 input clock cycles. The output duty
cycle is always 50%, regardless of the divide number.
The LVDS/CMOS outputs are jumper selectable via the
OUTxSEL pins to provide either an LVDS logic output or
a CMOS logic output.
The LTC6954 also features Linear Technology’s EZSync
system for perfect clock synchronization and alignment
every time.
All device settings are controlled through an SPI-compatible
serial port.
