PCS3I8504AG-08CR

The PCS3I8504AG-08CR is a high performance and easy to use clock generator and synthesizer often used in music equipment, modems, set-top boxes, PCs, digital TV equipment, video and audio devices and a variety of wireless communications systems. It is classified as a clock/timing subgroup: clock generators, PLLs and frequency synthesizers. The PCS3I8504AG-08CR comprises a high-speed voltage-controlled crystal (VCXO) oscillator, a phase-locked loop (PLL) and a synthesizer.

The PCS3I8504AG-08CR clock generator and synthesizer has a wide frequency range of 53 to 250 MHz and provides excellent signal symmetry and phase jitter performance. It is designed to minimize phase noise and eliminate jitter, which is vital for high-performance audio and video applications. The PCS3I8504AG-08CR also features programmable period jitter and adjustable voltage gain, allowing it to be configured for precise protocols and signal formats. The clock generator can also adjust for temperature variations for improved performance.

The operation of the PCS3I8504AG-08CR clock generator and synthesizer is based on a phase-locked loop (PLL). PLLs are circuits that can replicate a reference frequency, or oscillate at a set frequency, while tracking the reference. The PCS3I8504AG-08CR uses a PLL to convert the input frequency, typically a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) signal, into output frequency at multiples of the input frequency. These outputs are then synchronized to a reference clock for improved accuracy and stability. The output frequency is calculated using the synthesizer circuit which determines the output frequency by using a set of programmed coefficients and controllable parameters.

The PCS3I8504AG-08CR is often used in music equipment to synchronize components such as amplifiers and speakers, modems to provide clocking for data transmission, set-top boxes for waiting between video frames, and in PCs for time synchronization. It is also ideal for use in digital TVs and video and audio devices, as it helps to produce crisp, clear audio and video with less fuzz and distortion and improved timing accuracy. Furthermore, it is used in a variety of wireless communication systems to provide clocking and timing.

The PCS3I8504AG-08CR clock generator and synthesizer is an excellent choice for applications that require precise synchronization, timing and clocking, as it provides superior jitter elimination, superb signal retention and excellent signal accuracy. It also consumes less power in comparison to other clock generators and features robust design and construction, making it well-suited for a variety of demanding applications.
