Press Release - Centellax Releases SCS16000 Series of 16 GHz Stressed Clock Synthesizers

SANTA ROSA, CALIF.----February 1, 2011—

Centellax announced today the release of their new SCS16000 series of compact 16 Gb/s stressed clock synthesizers. There are currently 2 models in the series:

• SCS16000: 16 Gb/s Stressed clock Synthesizer with sinusoidal jitter injection capability
• SCS16000J: 16 Gb/s Stressed Clock Synthesizer with two tone sinusoidal jitter, true random jitter injection, and spread spectrum clock modulation capabilities.

This series has been designed from the ground up optimized for signal integrity applications. The low intrinsic jitter synthesizer provides continuously settable clock frequencies from 0.5 to 16 GHz. Three outputs provide the main stressed clock, along with unstressed delayed and divided clocks derived from the main.

The base model, SCS16000, is ideal for many optical serial data applications, providing a single tone of sinusoidal jitter, settable over a wide range of frequencies and modulation depths. When used as a BERT clock source, the high resolution of the SJ enables precise jitter tolerance testing.

For the electrical serial data applications which require more complex “stress recipes”, the SCS16000J includes two independent sources of sinusoidal along with a broadband true random jitter sources. In addition, all three clock outputs can be modulated with spread spectrum, with a deviation settable up to 10,000 ppm or 1%.

Series features include:

• 0.5-16.0 GHz operation
• Internal sinusoidal jitter source
• Fully programmable clock output parameters
• Low intrinsic jitter
• Main + Clean (non-jittered) divided and delayed outputs
• Single port remote control through USB or GPIB
• LabVIEW driver and SCPI command set for easy automation and test system integration

SCS16000J additionally includes:

• Two independent SJ Sources
• True Gaussian RJ Stress
• Spread Spectrum Clock – standard
