The FMC-XCLK2 is a high frequency clock generator FMC module that is able to provide up to four synchronized sample clocks for high speed I/O products such as analog to digital converters.
The FMC-XCLK2 offers a number of clock source options including an internal temperature compensated crystal oscillator or offboard source. The latter can be a direct RF or 10 MHz reference with onboard frequency multiplication. Frequency multiplication is achieved through low phase noise VCO/PLL circuitry (each frequency output is a build variant). The clock outputs can exceed 2 GHz. Single-ended and differential clock outputs are supported.
The FMC-XCLK2 is an ideal clock source for Curtiss-Wright’s family of ADC and DAC FMC products and allows multiple ADC modules to be synchronized. Typical applications for the FMC-XCLK2 include SigInt, Spectral Analysis and Radar.
