The AD9517-2 features four LVPECL outputs (in two pairs)
and four LVDS outputs (in two pairs). Each LVDS output can
be reconfigured as two CMOS outputs. The LVPECL outputs
operate to 1.6 GHz, the LVDS outputs operate to 800 MHz, and
the CMOS outputs operate to 250 MHz.
For applications that require additional outputs, a crystal reference
input, zero-delay, or EEPROM for automatic configuration at
startup, the AD9520 and AD9522 are available. In addition,
the AD9516 and AD9518 are similar to the AD9517 but have
a different combination of outputs.
APPLICATIONS
Low jitter, low phase noise clock distribution
10/40/100 Gb/sec networking line cards, including SONET,
Synchronous Ethernet, OTU2/3/4
Forward error correction (G.710)
Clocking high speed ADCs, DACs, DDSs, DDCs, DUCs, MxFEs
High performance wireless transceivers
Each pair of outputs has dividers that allow both the divide
ratio and coarse delay (or phase) to be set. The range of division
for the LVPECL outputs is 1 to 32. The LVDS/CMOS outputs
allow a range of divisions up to a maximum of 1024.
ATE and high performance instrumentation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9517-2 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and can be
operated from a single 3.3 V supply. An external VCO, which
requires an extended voltage range, can be accommodated
by connecting the charge pump supply (VCP) to 5 V. A
separate LVPECL power supply can be from 2.5 V to 3.3 V
(nominal).
The AD9517-21 provides a multi-output clock distribution
function with subpicosecond jitter performance, along with an
on-chip PLL and VCO. The on-chip VCO tunes from 2.05 GHz
to 2.33 GHz. Optionally, an external VCO/VCXO of up to
2.4 GHz can be used.
The AD9517-2 emphasizes low jitter and phase noise to maximize
data converter performance, and it can benefit other applications
with demanding phase noise and jitter requirements.
The AD9517-2 is specified for operation over the industrial
range of −40°C to +85°C.
1 AD9517 is used throughout the data sheet to refer to all the members of the
AD9517 family. However, when AD9517-2 is used, it refers to that specific
member of the AD9517 family.
