Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer (40nm - 110nm)

Overview

The Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizers generate a stable clock from low frequency reference clock.
The synthesizers are able to set fractional multiplication for (1/2)^16 step, and spread spectrum clock generation is available.
Have mass production results at each technology node.

Key Features

  • Fractional/Integer-N frequency synthesizing.
  • Spread spectrum clock generation (SSCG) function. (TSMC 40nm (CLN40ULP), UMC 55nm(LP) only)
