Key Featrues

High Performance Data Converter Clocking: The LTC6955 provides ultralow jitter clock distribution, ensuring precise timing for high-performance data converters. This feature significantly enhances the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and overall accuracy of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), making it ideal for applications requiring high-speed and high-resolution data conversion.
Flexible Output Configuration: With its 4-pin parallel control port, the LTC6955 allows for customizable output setups, enabling anywhere from three to eleven outputs. This flexibility simplifies system design and optimization, particularly in complex clock distribution networks for wireless and wired communication systems.
Ultralow Additive Jitter: The device boasts an additive output jitter of ~45fs RMS (ADC SNR method) and less than 5fs RMS in a 12kHz to 20MHz integration bandwidth at 7.5GHz. This ultralow jitter ensures minimal signal distortion, improving the performance of high-frequency communication systems and reducing errors in data transmission.
Single-Ended to Differential Conversion: The LTC6955 supports single-ended to differential conversion, enabling seamless integration with both single-ended and differential input systems. This feature enhances compatibility across various applications, including SONET, Fibre Channel, and GigE clock distribution.
Integrated Frequency Divider (LTC6955-1 Variant): The LTC6955-1 variant includes a divide-by-2 frequency divider, allowing it to generate JESD204B subclass 1 SYSREF signals. This capability simplifies the design of high-speed data acquisition systems by providing synchronized clock and SYSREF signals, ensuring precise timing alignment in JESD204B-compliant systems.
