This RC38312A evaluation kit is used to evaluate the RC38312 FemtoClock™ 3 ultra-low phase noise radio synchronizer, multi-frequency clock synthesizer. The RC38312/RC38112 is an ultra-low phase noise radio synchronizer, multi-frequency clock synthesizer, and digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). This flexible, low-power device outputs clocks with ultra-low in-band phase noise and spurious signals for 4G and 5G RF transceivers and with jitter below 18fs RMS for 112Gbps and 224Gbps SerDes.

Features

Four differential clock inputs
Twelve differential clock outputs
Onboard EEPROM stores startup configuration data
XIN terminal can use a laboratory signal generator or OCXO/TCXO/XO components and board
Laboratory power supply connectors
Serial port for configuration and register readout
