Multichannel system clocking device available from Farnell

It is designed around the Analog Devices AD9545 and HMC7044 and greatly simplifies clock distribution and multi-channel synchronisation in complex systems.

The AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ is intended to be used by trained professionals in a laboratory environment, and not intended as an end product for commercial use. It can be taken as a complete reference design and customised as required for any end customer applications.

Full design details are made available free of charge.

The device comes in a 1U mechanical form factor and uses industry-standard SMA and TwinAX connectors that are commonly found in labs.

Its applications include:

• High accuracy reference clock distribution
• Systems clocked from a single source
• Clocks derived from 100MHz or 122.88MHz
• Phased Array Systems, RADAR, EW, SATCOMS, SDR
• Bench equipment
• Remote controlled operation
