IDT Expands Industry-Leading Timing Portfolio with Low-Noise Timing Chipset for Wireless Base Station Radio Cards
June 20 2013 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the
Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal
semiconductor solutions, today announced a low-noise timing chipset
optimized for use in wireless base transceiver station (BTS) radio
cards. The new chipset complements IDT’s extensive communication
signal chain portfolio, offering engineers the tools needed to
solve phase noise-related challenges and build cutting-edge
wireless systems.
The IDT 8V19N4xx chipset is a flexible JESD204B-compliant radio
frequency phase-locked loop (RF PLL) and clock synthesizer,
designed to meet both the high frequency and low phase noise
requirements for 2G, 3G and 4G LTE wireless infrastructure.
Leveraging IDT’s proven FemtoClock® NG technology, the low phase
noise characteristics enable the system’s analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog converters (ADCs / DACs) to function with high
precision and very low distortion levels. This results in improved
signal integrity on transmission and enhanced signal sensitivity on
reception, increasing data throughput via lower bit error rates
(BER). Furthermore, reduced noise in the RF signal path enables
base-station developers to decrease cost and complexity by relaxing
the system’s filter requirements.
“At IDT, we recognize the undesired effects noise can cause in
the RF signal chain, and have developed this timing chipset to
provide system engineers a new tool to address it,” said Christian
Kermarrec, vice president and general manager of the Timing and
Synchronization Division at IDT. “Our new chipset also offers
several key features, such as JESD-compliant clocking and
integrated clock jitter attenuation for easy integration into our
customers' specific architectures. The new timing devices
complement our industry-leading timing portfolio as well as our
performance-leading data converters, data compression, RapidIO®,
and RF signal chain products for wireless infrastructure
applications.”
The IDT 8V19N4xx chipset generates synchronized and highly
configurable clock and SYSREF signals as required by JESD204B
applications. This allows customers to use a standard,
cost-effective timing chipset with a high degree of flexibility
instead of multiple PLLs, synthesizers, and buffers. In addition,
the devices feature integrated clock jitter attenuation to simplify
system design, and support a low-cost, low-frequency external VCXO
to reduce system cost.
Product Availability
The IDT 8V19N4xx devices are currently sampling to qualified
customers and are available in standard VFQFPN packages. The RF PLL
and high-frequency synthesizer can be paired with other devices for
added flexibility in the application. For more information about
