ATS204

ATS204 Application Field and Working Principle

The ATS204 is a monolithic crystal- and clock-signal generator featuring a wide range of frequencies and applications. The oscillator includes integrated PLL circuits for generating sine, square, and triangular waveforms, along with wideband frequency hopping, spread spectrum/direct digital synthesis, and white/pink noise modes. The ATS204 features a frequency range of 5 kHz to >1 GHz, high-speed frequency hopping, and auto-calibrate, high-accuracy, programmable oscillators. It is capable of producing signals up to 6 GHz in frequency.

The ATS204 is used primarily in wireless communication systems, providing frequency synthesis and clock generation. It has a wide range of applications, including LTE base stations, fiberoptic communication systems, wire/Wi-Fi networks, GPS/GIS systems, digital TVs and radios, automotive audio systems, and more. The ATS204 also offers various features for frequency hopping, spread spectrum, and direct digital synthesis to deliver a reliable, secure, and high-precision signal.

This versatile device is configured around four key components: an oscillator, a programmable frequency synthesizer, a frequency filter, and a clock circuit. The oscillator generates an adjustable continuous waveform of an adjustable frequency. The oscillator output is passed through a programmable frequency synthesizer, which produces a digitally synthesized or frequency-hopping signal. The output of the synthesizer goes through a frequency filter to reduce or eliminate certain frequencies. Finally, the filtered signal arrives at the clock circuit, which converts the signal into a clock or an oscillator.

The ATS204 is also designed to provide high-accuracy frequency synthesis and clock generation. It uses advanced programmable frequency synthesizers to generate higher-accuracy signals compared to simpler analog models. The device also uses a thermally-compensated crystal oscillator to ensure a higher precision of the generated frequency. In addition, the ATS204 offers a wide range of programmable features, such as frequency modulation, frequency hopping, direct digital synthesis, and pulse modulation.

The ATS204 crystal- and clock-signal generator is a highly versatile device that is suitable for a range of applications and time-critical applications. It is capable of providing a wide range of reliable, high-accuracy signals, and is suited for high-precision frequency synthesis and clock generation. Its wide range of programmable features, high-accuracy frequency synthesis capabilities, and robust design make it an ideal choice for many different application types.
