XCLK1
Multi-Channel Clock Generator is an ideal source for analog to digital converter sample clock for DSP applications because it was designed with embedded computing in mind by providing a clock source, with up to six phase matched outputs, packaged in a convenient PMC or XMC board form factor.
Overview
The XCLK1 Multi-Channel Clock Generator is an ideal source for analog to digital converter sample clock for DSP applications.
The XCLK1 Multi-Channel Clock Generator is different because it was designed with embedded computing in mind by providing a clock source, with up to six phase matched outputs, packaged in a convenient PMC or XMC board form factor.
The XCLK1 offers a number of clock source options including an internal temperature compensated crystal oscillator or off-board RF or off-board 10 MHz references. The 10 MHz reference sources are used to drive low phase noise VCO/PLL frequency multiplication circuitry (each frequency output is a build variant). Local frequency multiplication based on the 10 MHz temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) can generate output signals in the range of 500 MHz to over 2 GHz with a jitter of less than 0.5ps. Single-ended and differential clock outputs are supported.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
