Renesas Electronics 8A34044 4-Ch Universal Frequency Translators
Renesas Electronics 8A34044 4-Channel Universal Frequency Translators offer two Digital PLL (DPLL) channels and six Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) channels. The DPLLs can lock to external references or operate in a free run and can be configured as DCOs, which can be synchronized by any of the DPLLs. Alternatively, The DCOs can be controlled by an external algorithm for Optical Transport Network (OTN) applications. Renesas Electronics 8A34044 can synchronize communication ports, online cards, or daughter cards connected with synchronization sources across backplanes or other media.The 8A34044 Translators support multiple independent timing channels for clock generation, jitter attenuation, and universal frequency translation. The input-to-input, input-to-output, and output-to-output phase skew can all be managed precisely. The device outputs ultra-low-jitter clocks that can directly synchronize SERDES running at up to 28Gbps and includes CPRI/OBSAI, SONET/SDH, and PDH interfaces.
Features
- Two independent Digital PLLs (DPLLs)
- Six independent Digitally Controlled Oscillators (DCOs)
- Jitter output below 150fs RMS (typical)
- DPLLs lock to any frequency from 1kHz to 1GHz
- DPLLs / DCOs generate any frequency from 0.5Hz to 1GHz
