ShortLink's High-Performance PLL is a mixed-signal solution engineered for robust clock generation with applications in RF transceiver environments. This Fractional-N PLL is exceedingly programmable, boasting low jitter that meets the demanding requirements of modern ASIC applications, particularly where reliable RF signal integrity is paramount.
Incorporating a differential sine output and optional multiple-phase clock capability, this PLL outputs frequencies up to 2.2 GHz. It is a self-contained IP with an integrated VCO and loop filter, reducing the need for external components and simplifying the application into diverse system designs. Its utility extends further into ASIC designs due to its Deep N-Well isolation, providing enhanced noise immunity essential for sensitive electronics.
Available for 40 nm TSMC Low Power process technology, this PLL can be ported to other customized processes as needed. Built to support high-performance requirements, it finds its niche in applications that require exceptionally clean clock signals within RF transceiver systems, alongside broader applications in networking and communication domains.
