ADI Clocking ICs Replace Expensive, High-Frequency VCOs; Improve Jitter
ADI’s AD9552 and AD9547 clock ICs streamline design and lower cost for HDTV, data acquisition, wireless
basestations, test-and-measurement, networking and telecommunications applications.
 August
14, 2009 -- NORWOOD, Mass.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)-- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in
high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, expanded its clock-product portfolio today
with the launch of the
AD9552 oscillator frequency upconverter and the
AD9547 clock synchronizer. Both products streamline
system designs and reduce implementation complexity and cost while improving jitter performance.
 The
AD9552 replaces larger, expensive, high-frequency
VCOs (voltage-controlled oscillators), including OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator), VCXO
(voltage-controlled crystal oscillator) and TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator) devices. The
upconverter requires either a single-ended, low-frequency reference signal or a crystal reference to establish the
higher output frequency the IC generates. It provides ultra-low jitter of under 0.5 ps (picoseconds) operating
with input frequencies in the range of 50 kHz to 80 MHz at half the price of competitive alternatives. The device
can generate almost any desired output frequency up to 900 MHz for a variety of applications, such as HDTV, data
acquisition, wireless basestations, test and measurement, networking and telecommunications. The upconverter
features very low power consumption–less than 400 mW in a compact 5 mm x 5 mm package size.
The AD9552
is a fractional-N, PLL- (phase-locked-loop) based clock generator. The device employs a Σ-Δ (sigma-delta)
modulator to accomplish fractional frequency synthesis. The user supplies an input reference signal by connecting
a single-ended clock signal to the REF pin or by connecting a crystal resonator across the XTAL pins. The
AD9552 is pin-programmable, providing one of 64
standard output frequencies from any of eight common input frequencies. The device also has a 3-wire SPI
interface, enabling the user to program custom input-to-output frequency ratios. The
AD9552 requires only a 12-nF external capacitor to
complete the PLL’s loop filter. The output is compatible with LVPECL, LVDS, or single-ended CMOS logic levels.
 AD9547:
Next Generation Clock Synchronizer Offers 66 Percent Better Jitter Performance, up to 100-times Narrower Loop
Filters
The
AD9547 is the next generation of the AD9549 – one of
ADI's most popular new clock devices in both the wired and wireless telecom markets. When compared to the AD9549,
the AD9547 boasts 66 percent better jitter, 100 times
narrower loop-filter bandwidths (as narrow as 1 milliHertz) with twice as many inputs and outputs, and it supports
Stratum-2 level holdover. The
AD9547 also serves any application with remote
equipment requiring synchronization to local systems. It generates an output clock that synchronizes to one of two
differential or four single-ended external input references saving designers time and money because they no longer
need to rely on additional clock distribution chips to complete their clock trees.
The
AD9547 provides synchronization for many systems,
including synchronous optical networks (SONET/SDH). The digital PLL reduces input time jitter or phase noise
associated with the external references. The
AD9547 continuously generates a clean, low jitter,
valid output clock, even when all references have failed, by means of digitally-controlled loop and holdover
circuitry.
