High performance clock buffers – those without phase-locked loops (PLLs) – are often used in communications designs for duplication, distribution and fanout of clock signals. Sensitivity to long-term ...

High speed 3G mobile communications promise to deliver media-rich content for cell phones by means of W-CDMA, EDGE, and CDMA2000 protocols via the Internet. To provide the bandwidth, the cellular base ...

Clock distribution networks are critical components in modern integrated circuits, ensuring that the timing signal reaches every element with minimal delay and skew. As device geometries shrink and ...

Two new clock distribution ICs are available from ON Semiconductor. The NB6L56 presents the industry with a more advanced 2:1 signal management solution. It is pin-to-pin compatible with existing ...

Designing a 4 GHz ultra-low phase noise clock distribution requires minimizing additive noise, jitter, and spurs while balancing power, isolation, thermal stability, and architecture trade-offs.
