Wideband clock meets 100G Ethernet jitter spec
A range of low jitter clock oscillators from IQD cover a frequency range from 1MHz up to 1.5GHz and can be used for high speed serial interfaces such as Ethernet and PCI Express. The devices, IQXO-940, IQXO-942 and IQXO-944, have a specified phase jitter performance down to between 0.9ps and 0.05ps rms max depending upon the …
ADC does S-band direct digitisation in space systems
The EV12AD550 1.5GSample/s analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) from e2v is designed for a high dynamic range at 4.5GHz and S-band direct digitisation in space systems. It removes the need for down conversion stages reducing size and power consumption of the overall system. The design of what the company calls synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Earth observation systems, …
