NEL Frequency Controls Releases White Paper on Multi-Clock Systems
NEL's Synchronized Crystal Oscillator Solution Solves Key Timing Budget Issues,
including Breakthrough Jitter Performance
Burlington, WI (September 28, 2007) - NEL Frequency Controls has released a white
paper titled The Future of Multi-clock Systems. NEL's patent pending synchronized
crystal oscillator technology offers frequency and phase synchronization, eliminating the
need for a master clock.
"NEL's synchronized clock oscillator is ideal for mixed signal applications where
ADC or DAC clocks need to be synchronized in a multi channel environment," says
Chuck Ulland, Vice President of NEL. "It provides breakthrough jitter performance since
the oscillator eliminates additive jitter associated with clock distribution. Our new
oscillator significantly benefits any mixed signal applications that need superior
resolution, faster system speed and increased bandwidth."
NEL's synchronized crystal oscillator technology provides high reliability,
redundancy, and unlimited scalability at the system level. With this technology there is
no master clock and no need for fan out or for Phase-Lock Loops (PLL) or
multiplication. In fact, the system level jitter significantly decreases as more
synchronized crystal oscillators are added. Reliability improves since each synchronized
crystal oscillator in an ensemble is redundant to the other.
NEL's new synchronized clock oscillator improves performance, decreases costs
and simplifies designs. With this oscillator, it is easier, faster and less expensive to
design, engineer and assemble systems, while providing reliability and redundancy that is
unmatched by existing multi-clock systems technology.
In its white paper, NEL reviews the roles that clock signals play in digital systems
and the different techniques for distributing clock signals. The discussion provides the
reasoning behind available techniques and shows how NEL's new synchronized clock
oscillator improves performance, decreases costs and simplifies design.
