1-PLL clock generators with spread spectrum clock (SSC) option New SpectraLinear ReadyClock™ Family of Clock Generators
SpectraLinear Introduces ReadyClock™ Family of Clock Generators with Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) for EMI Reduction
A new family of 1-PLL clock generators with spread spectrum clock (SSC) option offer low power dissipation, low jitter and instant availability for fast-time-to-market and reduced inventory
SpectraLinear Inc., a leading provider of timing solutions for the consumer, computation and communication markets, announced the production availability of SL19800, a family of clock generators to replace most commonly used crystal oscillators in microprocessors, USB, Ethernet, PCI Multimedia, Audio and system ASICs. The products also offer a spread spectrum clock (SSC) option to reduce electro-magnetic interface emissions (EMI), eliminating the need for expensive and difficult to use shielding and filtering such as beads, chokes and filters, saving development and manufacturing time and cost.
SpectraLinear’s SL19800 ReadyClock™ features:
Fixed clock frequencies using either external crystal or clock
Up to 200 MHz clock output frequency
0.25 to 5.0% spread for EMI reduction
On-chip crystal load capacitors
3.3 to 2.5V power supply with 1.8V option
Low power dissipation and jitter
8-pin Lead-Free TSSOP surface-mount package
“Our goal is to provide the market with a full suite of timing
solutions that are versatile, innovative and easy to use,” said Dr.
Ilhan Refioglu, SpectraLinear’s president and CEO. “The ReadyClock™
product family improves time-to-market while providing savings in
development and manufacturing. This innovative approach offers a one
stop shop for clock solutions.”
The products are used in a wide range of digital entertainment,
handheld and portable, consumer, ethernet and communications
applications, including routers, switches, servers, HDTV, set-top
boxes, base stations, personal computers, games, digital still cameras,
printers and copiers.
