RMS Power Detector provides 50-dB dynamic range from 50 Hz to 6 GHz

The AD8363 TruPwr™ rms-responding power detector measures RF signal power over the 50-Hz to 6-GHz frequency range—and provides a dc output voltage proportional to the logarithm of the rms value of the input voltage, with 1-V/decade (50-mV/dB) scaling and 50-dB dynamic range. It has a useful controller mode, where an applied voltage establishes the power level required at the input to null the deviation from the setpoint. Maintaining rms accuracy with both simple- and complex waveforms, it is particularly useful for handling the high-crest-factor waveforms found in WiMAX, CDMA, and W-CDMA systems. Operating with a single 4.5-V to 5.5-V supply, the AD8363 consumes 60 mA when enabled and 300 μA in power-down mode. Available in a 16-lead LFCSP package, it is specified from –40°C to +125°C and priced from $5.31 in 1000s.

Network Clock Generator/Synchronizer accepts up to eight reference inputs

The AD9548 eight-input clock-generator/synchronizer derives a low-jitter output clock that is synchronous to one of four differential, or eight single-ended, input references. The digital phase-locked loop reduces jitter and phase noise, and holdover circuitry maintains the clock frequency, even in situations where all references have failed. References as low as 1-pps (pulses per second) can be used, enabling designers to synchronize their systems to a generic GPS reference input. The device can provide output frequencies up to 750 MHz, making it ideal for SONET/SDH synchronous optical networks up to OC-192. Operating on 1.8-V and 3.3-V supplies, the AD9548 dissipates 900 mW with all circuits running and 13 mW in power-down mode. Specified from –40°C to +85°C, it is available in an 88-lead LFCSP package and priced at $24.82 in 1000s.

Multiservice Clock Generator

The AD9551 clock generator accepts one or two reference input signals and generates one or two output signals that are harmonically related to the inputs by a factor of 1 to 63. Precisely translating the reference frequency to the desired output frequency, its input receivers and output drivers enable either single-ended or differential operation. It replaces as many as five oscillators previously required to support forward error correction (FEC), holdover, switchover, and precise frequency generation in multi-service network switches, routers, and line cards. On-chip reference monitoring and switchover circuitry synchronizes the two references to prevent phase perturbations at the output in the event of a reference failure. The device accepts input clocks between 19.44 MHz and 806 MHz, and provides output clocks between 10 MHz and 900 MHz. It is compatible with LVPECL, LVDS, and CMOS logic levels. Operating on a single 3.3-V supply, the AD9551 consumes 169 mA. Specified from –40°C to +85°C, it is available in a 40-lead LFCSP package and priced at $14.75 in 1000s.

Operating on a single 1.8-V supply, the ADCLK854 consumes 115 mA with CMOS outputs, 84 mA with LVDS outputs, and 3 mA in sleep mode. Available in a 48-lead LFCSP package, it is specified from –40°C to +85°C and priced at $5.95 in 1000s.

SiGe Clock Fanout Buffer provides six LVPECL outputs

The ADCLK946 clock buffer, designed for high-speed, low-jitter applications provides six LVPECL output clocks from a single input clock. Fabricated on an advanced complementary-bipolar silicon-germanium (SiGe) process, it operates at up to 4.8-GHz, with 185-ps propagation delay, 75-ps rise/fall times, and 75-fs random jitter. The input, which includes 100-ohm center-tapped termination resistors, accepts LVPECL, CML, CMOS, and LVDS signals. The output drivers, compatible with ECL or LVPECL levels, provide 1.6-V differential signals into 50-ohm loads. Operating on a 3.3-V supply, the ADCLK946 consumes 90 mA from the positive supply and 245 mA from the negative supply. Available in a 24-lead LFCSP package, it is specified from –40°C to +85°C and priced at $6.25 in 1000s.
