Clock Generation Devices

Analog Devices offers ultralow jitter clock generation products for wireless infrastructure, instrumentation, broadband, automatic test equipment, and other applications demanding subpicosecond performance. Our clock products are ideal for generating the high speed, low noise clock signals required to clock high performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). ADI clock ICs integrate PLL cores, dividers, phase offset, skew adjust, and clock drivers in small chip scale packages.

Clock Synchronization

Analog Devices Clock synchronizers are designed for wired networking applications, providing the clock redundancy functionality needed to maximize system uptime. Our technology supports clock synchronization with common standards, including 1 pulse per second (PPS) output signal from a GPS receiver. GPS signals are broadly available and utilize an extremely stable atomic clock as its time base, but they are often noisy. Systems rely on the IEEE1588 timing protocol to establish synchronous communications across the wired network, including synchronous Ethernet and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) to optical transport network (OTN) mapping/demapping. The IEEE1588 protocol has emerged as the preferred method for Clock synchronizing systems throughout both computer networks and local area networks (LAN).

Signal Generators

Analog Devices signal generators provide an ideal solution for applications such as wireless HDMI®, microwave and millimeterwave radio, and sensor equipment. These products offer a clean signal, broad frequency coverage, and high output power for multiple applications, with competitive functionality and performance against other signal generators in their class. Our technology operates up to the 70 GHz range, and includes bench top and portable options for greater flexibility in design and development.

Time Delays

Analog Devices time delay IC products feature delay control modulation bandwidth up to 2.5 GHz. Our portfolio also offers parts featuring 0 ps to 70 ps continuously adjustable delay range. Monotonic delay compensation with time delay also allows for stable operation over both power supply and temperature variations. Time delay IC products are often used in clock synchronization within high data rate applications of any type from instrumentation to aerospace.
