Fully Digital Glitch Free PLL TSMC 16FFC 16 nm - 300-3000 MHz
Overview
A programmable fully digital PLL designed to lock to an incoming clock source and produce an output clock. It is ideal as a clock generator for digital designs, but not intended for analog blocks like ADC/DAC or SERDES clocking. This digital PLL has ultra-low area and low implementation charges due to predictable digital design.
Key Features
- Ideal as a clock generator for digital design
- Excellent frequency jitter performance
- Ultra-low area fully digital PLL design
- Patented glitch free frequency adjustment
- Fine frequency precision with fractional divider
