Microsemi adds three new products to its clock management solution portfolio-ZL30244 and ZL30245, two dual-channel arbitrary-pair clock multipliers and frequency synthesizer integrated circuits (ICs), and ZL30255, a dual-channel arbitrary-pair clock-any Clock multiplier and jitter attenuator. Target applications include access networks, storage area networks, data center infrastructure, enterprise infrastructure, and video broadcast equipment.
"Our three new clock management solutions build on the success of Microsemi's single-channel versions ZL30250 / 251 and ZL30253, further expanding product capabilities for our customers, reducing design complexity and material costs," Maamoun Seido said, Microsemi's timing products business manager. Providing a second channel in these devices further simplifies and reduces design costs. For clock trees that require multiple frequency families, the ZL30244, ZL30245, and ZL30255 provide fewer chips and lower solutions-all of which have excellent jitter performance. "
Clock management solutions are specifically designed for the communications, computing, enterprise, and video markets, which also reduces board space requirements and reduces designer implementation costs. ZL30244 and ZL30245 are very suitable for frequency conversion and frequency synthesis, while ZL30255 is designed for general jitter attenuation and frequency conversion. When combined with Microsemi fan-out buffers (ZL402XX), ZL30244 / 45 and ZL30255 provide complete timing solutions for complex systems, such as wireless base stations, wireless backhaul, access infrastructure, SONET / SDH, GE, 10G / 40G / 100G Ethernet, fiber optics, the company said, storage and broadcast video applications.
