Clock ICs & Timers

Clock ICs & Timers

Analog Devices’ clock ICs and timers enable new architectures, lower development and manufacturing costs, and shorter design times. Products feature low jitter and phase noise for clock cleanup, synchronization, generation, delay, and distribution. Likewise, ADI’s clock expertise has translated into a portfolio of wired network clock ICs that deliver the same high level of jitter performance along with industry-leading innovation in all digital PLLs and holdover/switchover circuitry specific to wired applications.

Clock & Data Recovery

Analog Devices provides discrete rate, multirate, and continuous tuning clock and data recovery ICs for equipment designs, including metro, long haul, DWDM, and FSO applications. ADI CDRs allow easy integration into protocol agnostic applications, automatically locking onto incoming data streams at any rate between 12.3 Mbps to 2.7 Gbps without the aid of a reference clock while reporting the acquired data rate over the I2C interface.

Clock ICs

Analog Devices offers ultralow jitter clock generation, distribution, and synchronization products for various applications. ADI clock products are ideal for clocking high performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), or peripheral digital devices. ADI clock ICs integrate PLL cores, dividers, phase offset, skew adjust, clock drivers, time-to-digital converters, and other features in small chip scale packages.

Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) & Pulse Generators

Analog Devices’ programmable pulse-width modulators (PWM) and pulse generators offer the ability to easily control output duty cycle with a single input voltage. Offering duty cycles from 0% to 100% and a wide range of adjustable output frequencies, these small low power devices are ideal for simplifying applications including light dimming, isolated proportional control, efficient load control, and more.

Real-Time Clocks (RTCs) & Timers

Real-time clock (RTC) ICs are used in electronic circuits to keep track of time relative to the “real” world. Maintaining accurate time is critical, especially under periods of severe system stress or when the power of the main device is off. Power consumption, accuracy, ruggedness, and small package size are key factors. Analog Devices offers a wide variety of highly accurate, low power, small package, and robust microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based real-time clocks to suit any solution needs.
