The AD9516-1/PCBZ is a compact, easy to use platform for evaluating all features of AD9516-1 device. The AD9516-1 provides a 14 output clock generator with subpicosecond jitter performance, along with an onchip PLL and VCO. The onchip VCO tunes from 2.30GHz to 2.65GHz. Optionally, an external VCO/VCXO of up to 2.4GHz can be used. The AD9516-1 emphasizes low jitter and phase noise to maximize data converter performance and it can benefit other applications with demanding phase noise and jitter requirements. The AD9516-1 features six LVPECL outputs (in three pairs) and four LVDS outputs (in two pairs). Each LVDS output can be reconfigured as two CMOS outputs. The LVPECL outputs operate to 1.6GHz, the LVDS outputs operate to 800MHz and the CMOS outputs operate to 250MHz.
