Oscillators offer lowest jitter to optimize signal integrity in performance-critical applications

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced a new family of fully programmable, pin-selectable and fixed-frequency 7mm-x-5mm differential oscillators that provides the industry’s lowest jitter of 90 femtoseconds (fs), which enables designers to optimize signal integrity and reduce data-transmission errors in performance-critical applications. The LMK61xx family enables easy customization, frequency margining and support for multiple frequencies on one device to clock field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and high-speed serial links. LMK61xx oscillators are available today in a quad flat no-leads module (QFM) package. Evaluation tools are also available.
