Description

The AD9550 is a phase-locked loop (PLL) based clock translatordesigned to address the needs of wireline communicationand base station applications. The device employs an integer-NPLL to accommodate the applicable frequency translationrequirements. It accepts a single-ended input reference signalat the REF input.The AD9550 is pin programmable, providing a matrix ofstandard input/output frequency translations from a list of15 possible input frequencies to a list of 51 possible outputfrequency pairs (OUT1 and OUT2).The AD9550 output is compatible with LVPECL, LVDS, orsingle-ended CMOS logic levels, although the AD9550 isimplemented in a strictly CMOS process.The AD9550 operates over the extended industrial temperaturerange of −40°C to +85°C.APPLICATIONS Cost effective replacement of high frequency VCXO, OCXO, and SAW resonators Flexible frequency translation for wireline applications such as Ethernet, T1/E1, SONET/SDH, GPON, xDSL Wireless infrastructure Test and measurement (including handheld devices)
