MK2304S-2TR

The MK2304S-2TR is a compact and highly integrated clock generator that is used in a wide range of applications across many industries. It is specifically designed for use in applications such as optical transport networks, telecommunication systems, broadcast and Ultra HDTV, and high-speed data communications systems. It can also be used for clock recovery for Ethernet or serial datalinks.

The MK2304S-2TR uses the frequency synthesizer architecture to generate the clock signal from a given reference frequency. The internal Frequency Synthesiser (FS) uses a feedback loop that compensates any frequency instabilities due to process, voltage and temperature variations. This ensures that the clock signal always remains within its specified operating range.

The MK2304S-2TR has a number of output options including LVCMOS, LVDS, TTLL, and SSCG. It also has an input option which allows it to be used as a frequency synthesizer, providing higher performance compared to other clock generators.

The clock generator has an internal PLL that can be used to lock the output frequency to a variety of reference frequencies. This feature makes it a great choice for applications that require a high degree of accuracy and stability. The device supports an integrated PLL bandwidth of up to 350 MHz, making it one of the fastest PLLs available. Additionally, the device offers a maximum frequency stability of 0.5ppm, which is extremely reliable for timing-critical applications.

In addition to its frequency synthesizer, the MK2304S-2TR also offers a wide range of output features such as spread spectrum clocking, output slew rate control, and output de-emphasis control. Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) is a technique used to reduce noise and electromagnetic interference. It works by reducing the amplitude of the clock signal as it passes through a frequency band of frequencies. This reduces the amount of interference generated by the clock signal, ensuring that the signal remains as undistorted as possible.

The output slew rate and de-emphasis controls allow the user to optimize the signal quality of the output by controlling the rise and fall times of the output signal. By adjusting these parameters, the user can ensure that their clock signal is as clean and accurate as possible.

Overall, the MK2304S-2TR is a versatile device that is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its frequency synthesizer and PLL allow for high accuracy and stability, while its wide range of features allow for easy customization and optimization of the signal.
