Clock Generation & Distribution
Analog Devices offers ultralow jitter clock distribution and clock generation products for wireless infrastructure, instrumentation, broadband, ATE, and other applications demanding sub picosecond performance. ADI clock products are ideal for clocking 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.

Frequently Asked Question
- Does the fine delay adjust affect the jitter?
- How do harmonic spurs in the output spectrum affect jitter (random or deterministic)?
- How do I optimize my PLL loop for the best phase noise and/or jitter?
- I am not using the CLK1 input on the AD9510. Can I just leave it floating?
- If I change the level of PECL output, does it affect the jitter?
