New Mux & Demux for Broadband Test, ATE, FPGA & DAC Interfacing
Hittite Microwave Corporation has extended the Mux & Demux product line with the introduction of 32 Gbps Multiplexer & Demultiplexer products. The HMC954LC4B 2:1 Multiplexer, and the HMC955LC4B 1:2 Demultiplexer support up to 32 Gbps data serialization and deserialization respectively, and are data rate and protocol agnostic. These devices are ideal for broadband test & measurement, ATE and high speed DAC and FPGA interfacing applications.
The Both the HMC954LC4B and the HMC955LC4B are capable of operating from either a negative or positive 3.3V supply while exhibiting only 0.2 ps RMS jitter and 3 ps p-p of deterministic jitter. These specifications, combined with low typical power dissipation of 500 mW and low skew between outputs, make them ideal for data aggregation and data source selection in military and communications systems. Fast rise and fall times of 19 ps, programmable output voltage swing capability and DC coupling enables simple interfacing with FPGA devices in ATE applications.
The HMC954LC4B and the HMC955LC4B complement many of Hittite's previously released Fiber Optic and High Speed Logic products, are housed in ceramic 4 x 4 mm SMT packages (RoHS compliant), and are fully specified for operation from -40 °C to +85 °C. Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company's e-commerce site or via direct purchase order.
