PL602-26TC-R

The PL602-26TC-R is a Clock Generator, PLL and Frequency Synthesizer from Pletronics. It is innovatively designed to be a multi-function solution for a wide range of applications, from communications to audio and video systems.

The PL602-26TC-R has a combination of specialty features, such as a high-frequency range of 2.6kHz to 6GHz, an oscillator type of external crystal, an adjustable duty cycle range of circa 18-95%, and an operating temperature range of -35°C to +85°C. These features make the PL602-26TC-R a great fit for applications where accuracy and precisions are critical, such as communication systems, touch screens and GPS receivers.

The PL602-26TC-R also has a robust power supply design for increased reliability, with a 6-pin header that supports a wide range of input voltages from 2.5V to 4.2V and can operate within -3V and +6V analog control range.

In terms of its working principle, the PL602-26TC-R converts a reference clock signal into generated clock signals with different frequency and phase profiles. It performs the conversion by using a phase-locked loop (PLL) with three registers; a phase-frequency detector (PFD), a charge pump and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The PFD picks up the reference clock signal and compares it to the output of the VCO to estimate the difference in phase and frequency. It then sends a corresponding control signal to the charge pump, which adjusts the output voltage of the VCO and enables it to synchronize its output with the reference clock. The VCO then produces an output signal with the same phase and frequency deviation from the reference clock signal.

All of these features make the PL602-26TC-R an ideal choice for applications that require precise synchronization and frequency control. It is suitable for use in a variety of communications systems, such as cellular, RF, 3G and 4G. It can also be used in audio and video systems, such as video encoders and Broadcast TV transmitters. It comes in a space-saving, surface-mount package, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of systems.

The PL602-26TC-R is a powerful and reliable Clock Generator and Frequency Synthesizer designed to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. With its high-frequency range, precise synchronization and frequency control, adjustable duty cycle, robust power supply design and multiple integration options, the PL602-26TC-R is an excellent choice for applications requiring precise synchronization and frequency control.
