News Release

SANTA ROSA, CALIF.----June 9 2006----Centellax Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of signal integrity test instruments, accessories, and broadband semiconductors and components, announces today the production release of a new programmable prescaler/divider. This product is lead free (Pb), eliminating the need for costly re-qualification efforts, which are necessary to conform to the European mandated "Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances" (RoHS) compliance.

The UXD20P is a low noise DC to 20GHz programmable prescaler featuring either divide by-1, divide-by-2, divide-by-4, or divide-by-8 division ratios. In the divide by 1 mode the UXD20P is also a broadband limit amplifier. The device features differential inputs and outputs, adjustable output swing and high input sensitivity. The control inputs are CMOS and LVTTL compatible. The UXD20P is packaged in a 24 pin, 4mm x 4mm leadless surface mount package. The UXD20P can be used as a general purpose, fixed modulus prescaler in high frequency PLLs. The low phase noise of the divider makes it ideal for generating low jitter, synchronous clocks in telecom applications.
