By combining world leadership in data converters and years of expertise in frequency/phase synthesis techniques, ADI’s clock generation, synchronization, and distribution ICs offer industry-leading performance and enhanced value to our customers. • Flexible, integrated designs with critical clocking functions • Innovative clock ICs that can be used in wired and wireless networks, providing cost efficient solutions for high performance clock generation and distribution • Wide range of integrated clock products that provide designers with the flexibility needed to satisfy the most demanding clocking requirements www.analog.com/clocks Distribution and Synchronization Analog Devices leverages its leadership position in high performance wireless clocking applications to provide leading-edge solutions for the wired market. Performance and features found in our network clock products provide high reliability, flexibility, and ease of design to build a cutting edge solution for the next generation of network standards. Phase synchronization occurs when the phases at the output and at the input are related with a fixed relative phase angle. The most common phase synchronization is when the edge of the output is aligned with the edge of the input clock. Zero-delay functionality allows such phase synchronization and is provided by some Analog Devices products. Frequency clock synchronization is a basic requirement in the network space and is achieved when the output and the input clock frequencies are related to each other with a fixed translation ratio. If the input drifts, the output also drifts by that translation ratio. Redundancy To improve network reliability and stability, some of ADI’s clocks support redundancy by managing multiple inputs with priority-based hitless switchover between inputs, as well as providing holdover functionality (maintaining an output clock signal when no input signal is present). These clock ICs support up to Stratum 3/3E applications. An ADI clock featuring holdover mode is able to provide output signals even when the reference input disappears. This feature allows designers to build systems with greater up-time, alleviating fears of intermittent or unreliable reference signals crashing the system. Holdover can be initiated either as directed by controller/processor elements in a system or via a provided monitoring function that activates the holdover mode when the reference input goes quiet. An ADI clock featuring switchover capability has multiple reference input ports. If the active references fails, the device uses one of the alternate references instead. An important aspect of all the switchover functions provided in ADI clock devices is that no runt pulses or any extra long pulses result from this change. Downstream PLLs do not lose lock as a result of a clock switchover, even when no predefined relationship exists between the frequencies or phases of the various reference input signals. Frequency Translation Analog Devices fractional-N clock ICs can translate between any two standard frequencies with 0 ppm error. Input and output frequencies ranging from 1 pps to >1 GHz are supported. As many as 14 different clock frequencies can be synthesized from a single device, each supporting any of four output logic standards. ADI clocks support the generation of precise frequency signals required across the full spectrum of network standards. In all cases, the absolute accuracy of the output frequency depends entirely upon the absolute accuracy of the reference frequency. ADI’s clock generation devices are essentially a programmable, variable factor (Y) in a multiplication equation, where the reference frequency is the other factor: FOUT = FIN × Y. The key element that differentiates the various levels to which ADI products support frequency translation is how finely the designer can program that variable. Jitter Cleanup Whether relying on a clock signal routed off a backplane or one accompanying data transmissions, a network reference signal often acquires a substantial amount of noise on its journey through the system. Many ADI clocks are capable of filtering off much of the noise/jitter that exists on the reference input so that the signals are sufficiently clean to meet the jitter levels required by network standards. Clock generation products are available with jitter generation exceeding the requirements for OC-12 to OC-768, with performance as good as <200 fs rms (integrated from 12 kHz to 20 MHz). For clock distribution, our fanout buffers provide additive jitter as low as 25 fs (12 kHz to 20 MHz). In addition, with programmable loop bandwidths as low as 1 mHz, many of our network clocks provide extreme jitter cleanup. Ease of Use ADI clock products support the most common standard frequency combinations for SONET/SDH, Gb Ethernet, synchronous Ethernet, GPON/EPON, Fibre Channel, and DOCSIS through pin programming modes. In addition, most of our clock generators include an SPI/I2C port to enhance flexibility. Many of our products include an integrated EEPROM to store customized configurations. Because clocking requirements vary across wired and wireless networks, ADI offers the appropriate device architectures to support the critical timing functions necessary throughout multiple stages of the clock tree. From network backplane synchronization to localized distribution for clocking data converters, ADI has created flexible, integrated timing solutions targeted for communications systems using industry-leading technology. | Clock and Timing ICs for Wireline Applications 2 TIMING/SYNCHRONIZATION CARDS E R AV SL LINE CARDS TE AS M N N CK O IO O ATI AT N CL ER NIZ TIO N O LA GECHRNS N RA Y S T N O TI ZA I N O ING E HR IM RC C T U N SO SY N CK IO O UT L B C RI T IS N CK IO O UT L C RIB T IS D D REF_P REF_S REF_P REF_S BACKPLANE ADI CLOCKS ARE USED ON TIMING/SYNCHRONIZATION CARDS AND LINE CARDS.

They support all major network frequency translations (2 kHz to 1.25 GHz input and 360 kHz to 1.25 GHz output) including those using FEC. The user can fully program either device via its SPI port or select from a group of predefined configurations via pin strapping. The performance and versatility of the AD9557/AD9558 provide a cost competitive solution to traditional PLLs that rely on expensive voltage controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs). The AD9557/AD9558 satisfy a wide range of high performance wired communications applications, SONET/SDH clocks up to 100 Gbps, synchronous Ethernet, cable infrastructure, wireless base stations, and instrumentation.

It includes an integrated EEPROM and a digital loop filter with programmable loop bandwidth from 0.1 Hz to 2 kHz. The AD9557 maps different standards (for example, SDH to OTN or OTN to SDH) by supporting adaptive clock functionality. This feature is vital for applications such as TDM over Ethernet because it allows the user to dynamically vary the output frequency over a ±100 ppm range in sub 0.1 Hz steps. The AD9558 (available in a 9 mm × 9 mm, 64-lead LFCSP package) includes the same core features as the AD9557 but with four inputs and six differential outputs (one capable of providing a 2 kHz or 8 kHz frame sync signal). AD9548 Most 2G, 3G, WiMAX, and LTE base transceiver stations are synchronized to an absolute time reference. In CDMA, for example, synchronization establishes a time offset between base stations, enabling a mobile unit to experience a soft handoff from tower to tower. In many cases, base station time synchronization is achieved by phase locking to a 1 pulse per second signal provided by a GPS receiver. The AD9548 offers an integrated high performance GPS-based synchronization solution by means of its ability to lock to the 1 pulse per second signal from a GPS receiver and generate a stable output signal from 1 Hz to 400 MHz.

The device internally samples the time difference between the feedback and reference clock edges. The time samples pass through a digital loop filter that relies on programmable numeric coefficients to establish the loop bandwidth of the digital PLL (from 0.001 Hz to 100 kHz). The numeric output of the digital loop filter is a sequence of frequency tuning words that drives a 48-bit direct digital synthesizer (DDS), which provides frequency resolution that is 3.6 × 10–15 of the internal system clock frequency (that is, 3.6 μHz for a 1 GHz system clock). The DAC at the output of the DDS produces a sinusoidal analog signal at a frequency dictated by the frequency tuning words delivered to the DDS from the digital loop filter. The output of the digital PLL drives a clock distribution section to produce the desired outputs. Each of the four output channels is configurable as a single differential (LVDS/LVPECL) or a pair of single-ended (CMOS) outputs, and each channel includes a dedicated programmable frequency divider. AD9959 The AD9959 (available in a 56-lead LFCSP package) is a 4-channel DDS. It contains four fully integrated 32-bit DDS channels, each supporting independent control of frequency, phase, and amplitude. Because all four DDS channels share a common system clock, they are inherently synchronized, which effectively eliminates mismatches in the output signal that would otherwise appear in a design employing four separate DDS devices. For those applications requiring more than four independent DDS channels, the AD9959 provides the ability to synchronize multiple devices, enabling applications that require many synchronized channels.

The 32-bit DDS architecture of the AD9959 provides frequency resolution that is 2.3 ×1010 ppm of the internal system clock frequency (that is, 0.023 Hz for a 100 MHz system clock). www.analog.com/clocks | 5 AD9552/AD9553 Oscillators are used in a wide variety of applications but can be expensive, especially at high frequencies and for applications requiring temperature stability. They also tend to be among the least reliable components in a system. Furthermore, oscillators that provide nonstandard frequencies usually come at a premium and typically have long lead times. Few alternatives exist for generating nonstandard clock frequencies with low noise and high stability. The AD9552 fractional-N PLL is one alternative that supports frequency translations of up to 800 MHz with very fine tuning resolution and allows system designers to use a standard low frequency crystal to produce a high frequency output clock signal. Users can program the output frequency via an SPI port or select a predefined frequency translation via pin strapping. The AD9552 can also provide a buffered copy of the applied reference input clock, enabling multiple AD9552 devices to generate multiple frequencies from a single oscillator.

It is a viable solution for many network applications, especially GPON. Users can program the output frequency via an SPI port or select a predefined frequency translation via pin strapping. AD9577 The AD9577 (available in a 6 mm × 6 mm, 40-lead LFCSP package) is a multioutput clock generator with two parallel PLL cores. The first PLL is an integer-N design optimized for extremely low jitter (0.4 ps rms, 12 kHz to 20 MHz), while the second PLL is configurable as either integer-N with 0.4 ps rms jitter (12 kHz to 20 MHz) or fractional-N with 0.9 ps rms jitter (12 kHz to 20 MHz). The second PLL also features spread spectrum capability for PCIe applications, and both PLLs provide a clock frequency margining pin.

Furthermore, a dedicated CMOS output provides a buffered copy of the input reference clock. The AD9577 reference clock input operates from 19.44 MHz to 27 MHz and supports either a single-ended CMOS driver or direct connection of a crystal resonator. The AD9577 is fuse programmable, making it an attractive candidate for high volume applications. The AD9577 complements the AD9557/AD9558 in line card designs requiring clock cleanup and frequency plans for both SONET/SDH and synchronous Ethernet. AD9520/AD9522 Some applications require edge timing alignment between the input and output clock signals. The AD9520/AD9522 family of clock generators has a PLL with a zero-delay architecture, which is the solution for such applications (an explanation of zero delay appears in the AN-0983 Application Note). The output channels of these clock generators have a programmable delay stage, making it possible to generate multiple zero-delay clocks that are edge aligned to within ±60 ps. Applications requiring more than the 12 differential (24 single-ended) outputs from the AD9520/AD9522 are possible by using fanout buffers from ADI’s ADCLK buffer family.

The buffer family includes 4.8 GHz LVPECL and 1.2 GHz LVDS/CMOS drivers targeting high speed, low jitter, low power applications. Broadband additive jitter is as low as 75 fs for the fanout buffers with LVPECL drivers and 100 fs for those with LVDS/CMOS drivers. The excellent jitter performance makes ADI clock buffers the perfect choice in ADC and/or DAC clock signal chains to maximize SNR performance. The ADCLK9xx clock buffer family exhibits only 9 ps of edge timing skew between output channels. These buffers accept a wide variety of single-ended and differential logic levels, including LVPECL, LVDS, HSTL, CML, and CMOS. Power consumption is as low as 12 mW per LVDS channel at 100 MHz operation and 34 mW per LVPECL channel. With up to 12 output channels, ADI clock buffers are not only cost-effective but also simplify the design of high speed signal chains.

The extremely low jitter dividers and buffers in the AD9523 make the device an excellent solution for a variety of 3G/4G base station designs, including LTE, MCGSM, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, and TD-SCDMA. In addition to its superb performance, the AD9523 provides programmable output logic, an integrated EEPROM, and a feature-rich architecture packaged in a small 72-lead LFCSP.
