Overview

The AD9528BCPZ is a high-performance, dual-stage PLL clock generator designed for multi-channel synchronization in high-speed data converter systems. It features a JESD204B SYSREF generator and 14 outputs capable of reaching 1.25GHz, making it a critical component for phase-aligned clock distribution.

Why Choose This Part

The dual-PLL architecture provides excellent jitter cleaning while maintaining a low-power profile of 19mA to 71mA in dual-loop mode. Its integrated 14-channel distribution system supports HSTL and LVDS signaling with programmable coarse and fine delays for precise signal alignment.

Applications

JESD204B Clocking
Providing synchronized device clocks and SYSREF signals for high-speed ADC/DAC arrays.
Wireless Infrastructure
Timing distribution for LTE and 5G base stations requiring low jitter and high port density.
Test and Measurement
Clocking for precision instrumentation and automated test equipment needing flexible frequency synthesis.
Phased Array Radar
Synchronizing multiple RF channels in aerospace and defense radar systems.
