The High-Performance PLL is a versatile, mixed-signal fractional-N phase-locked loop designed to provide a low jitter, high-performance clock source for demanding ASIC applications. This PLL is particularly engineered for RF transceiver implementations, offering a wide frequency output up to 2.2 GHz with tightly controlled output phase noise, ideal for robust communications in noisy environments. Its differential sine output enhances signal integrity, crucial for maintaining high standards in sensitive applications.
Built with a deep N-Well isolated design, the PLL minimizes interference from neighboring components, ensuring consistent performance across varied operational conditions. This integration of high-level noise isolation makes the device exceptionally stable, even in complex systems demanding precise timing. The inclusion of optional buffered multiple phase clock output and an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) provides flexibility in meeting specific system requirements and application demands.
ShortLink's PLLs are crafted to support a variety of applications by utilizing their high integration level, which includes an optional crystal oscillator IP and LDO/bias IP, facilitating easy integration into larger systems. Its applicability extends across multiple industries, catering to specific needs in radio communication, sensor networks, and beyond, where precise clock generation is critical.
