Description

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

Applications

  • 5G radio units (RU)
  • 5G distribution units (DU), switches, and routers
  • Reference clock for 112Gbps and 224Gbps SerDes
  • High-performance DCO for precision time protocol (PTP) based clocks
  • Datacenter switch, accelerator card, AI interconnect
