AEROFLEX COLORADO SPRINGS ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION OF THEIR RadClockTM, A MONOLITHIC, PLL-BASED, HIGH-SPEED, MULTI-PHASE, CLOCK BUFFER

Aeroflex Colorado Springs, an Aeroflex Incorporated company, (NASDAQ:ARXX), announced today QML Q and V production of their RadClockTM PLL-based clock buffer designed for satellite applications.

Featuring eight, bank-skewable outputs, the UT7R995 RadHard clock buffer is the first space qualified solution that solves the clock tree design problem with a single chip.

Aeroflex’s UT7R995 is a low-voltage, quad-bank, eight-output, 6MHz to 200MHz clock buffer featuring output phase programmability for optimal timing control of high-performance microprocessor and communication systems. RadClock products withstand total ionizing dose irradiation from 100Krads(Si) to 1Mrads(Si).

The RadClock operates from a 3.3V core power supply while supporting independent 2.5V or 3.3V power supplies for each output bank.The UT7R995 RadClock is immune to single event upsets (SEU) and single event latchup (SEL) resulting from heavy ion strikes with energies in excess of 109MeV-cm2/mg. Considerable time was spent to assure mitigation of single event transient (SET) effects in any part of the RadClock. Immunity to SET was achieved with particle energies of 74MeV-cm2/mg @ 50MHz.
