Analog Devices Inc. ADF4030 Precision Synchronizers
Analog Devices Inc. ADF4030 Precision Synchronizers provide ten Bidirectional Synchronized Clock (BSYNC) channels and accept a reference clock input (REFIN) signal as a frequency reference. These synchronizers are adapted for multiple connections with other ADF4030 devices for synchronizing clock signals in a system. The ADF4030 can be used as a standalone differential Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) to measure the difference in time between clocks arriving at the inputs. Typical applications include 5G timing transport high-precision synchronization, phased array radar, and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) pin electronics.
