National Semiconductor Introduces Precision Clock Conditioners with Industry's Lowest Jitter Performance

National Semiconductor Corporation introduced a family of five precision clock conditioners that integrate all the functions required to clean and distribute ultra-low-noise clock signals throughout a system. Featuring National's phase locked loop (PLL), voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and high-speed interface technology, these clock conditioners deliver the industry's best jitter performance, making them well-suited for accurate clocking in high-performance data conversion and data processing sub-systems.

Five Programmable Clock Conditioning Devices Feature Jitter Performance as Low as 0.2 Picoseconds

Unparalleled Integration and Performance
National’s new LMK03000, LMK03000C, LMK03001, LMK03001C and LMK02000 clock conditioners integrate a high-frequency PLL, an ultra-low noise VCO and programmable low-noise outputs. The clock conditioners deliver typical jitter performance as low as 0.2 picoseconds (ps), the lowest in the industry from a single chip. Until today, system designers used expensive multiple-chip voltage controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs) or clock modules to achieve low jitter. National’s new single-chip clock conditioners significantly reduce the system cost and save board space, power and design time.
