Ultra-low jitter, low-power ring-oscillator-based PLL - 6GHz-12.5GHz

Overview

InCirT’s APLL12GGF22 is the ring-oscillator based analogue-PLL which provides ultra-low jitter (600fs rms jitter at 12.5GHz) and low-power consumption (5.3mW at 12.5GHz) operating from 6GHz up to 12.5GHz.
Due to its ultra-small area (0.007sq mm) APPLL12GGF22 is an ideal candidate for SOC designs requiring multiple clock domains.
APLL12GGF22 is an integer-N PLL which gives flexibility to the designers to find the best clock-domain in the overall system.
