The AD9516-3/PCBZ is a compact, easy to use platform for evaluating all features of the AD9516-3 device. AD9516-3 is a 14 output clock generator with integrated 2GHz VCO. It has very low noise PLL clock synthesisers. The AD9516-3 features automatic holdover and a flexible reference input circuit allowing for very smooth reference clock switching. AD9516-3 provides a necessary provisions for an external VCXO. The AD9516-3 has six LVPECL outputs (in three pairs) and four LVDS outputs (in two pairs). Each LVDS output can be reconfigured as two CMOS outputs. The LVPECL outputs operate to 1.6GHz, the LVDS outputs operate to 800MHz, and the CMOS outputs operate to 250MHz.
