AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ Clock Controller

Analog Devices' AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ board simplifies clock distribution and multi-channel synchronization in complex systems

Image of Analog Devices' AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ Clock ControllerADI's AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ is an ideal self-contained device to evaluate and prototype applications that need a highly accurate frequency and phase-controlled source clock. It is designed around Analog Devices’ AD9545 and HMC7044 and greatly simplifies clock distribution and multi-channel synchronization in complex systems. It is intended to be used by trained professionals in a laboratory environment and is not intended as an end product for commercial use. It can be taken as a complete reference design and customized as required for any end customer applications. Full design details are made available free of charge.

The AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ comes in a 1U mechanical form factor. Using popular industry connector SMA and Twinax interfaces, most labs will already have the needed cables.

With its internal OCXO, the AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ can operate in standalone mode or be fed from sources, such as three separate high-speed differential clock inputs, a 10 MHz reference, and 1 PPS input. This flexibility, combined with the capability to select either of the internal VCXO options of 100 MHz or 122.88 MHz, gives users an almost unlimited choice for the frequency of interest and accuracy needed for a wide variety of application areas.
