Working Principle

The PL602-03OC is based on a highly-integrated frequency and phase locked loop (PLL) technology. It is designed to enable the user to define frequency and phase information, which is characterized by a range of frequencies and phases. This combination of frequency and phase information can be achieved using a combination of multipliers and dividers and an internally generated divider chain. The device also includes an integrated temperature compensation algorithm, which is used to dynamically adjust the reference clock frequencies to compensate for changes in temperature.

The device operates in a two-stage loop operating mode. The first stage is a high-speed frequency loop and the second stage is a low speed phase loop. The output frequencies and phases are generated in the first stage. The second stage is responsible for the dynamic adjustment of the output frequencies and phases by tracking and synchronizing to an internally generated reference clock signal. The reference signal is generated by the device’s internal oscillator and is dynamic and adjustable.

The device also features on-board programmability for different output frequencies and phases. This makes it possible to configure the device for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the device can be used for clock synchronization, signal distribution and timing applications. With the ability to integrate multiple channels, the device is suitable for large-scale clock distribution and synchronization systems.

In summary, the PL602-03OC is a highly-integrated frequency and phase locked loop (PLL) based timing solution obtained using an innovative approach. It is suitable for clock synchronization, timing and signal distribution requirements. With its on-board programmability, it is easily configurable for different applications ranging from telecommunications systems to automation and broadcast audio. Additionally, the device is equipped with temperature compensation, track mode and multipliers and dividers, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications.
