Applications

 

Cost-effective, low power, small footprint, flexible

 

In existing IC architectures, the Toric AJC can localise jitter suppression to the point of use, or point of maximum effectiveness. Its small footprint allows easy integration of the AJC macro into gaps in new or existing layouts, encouraging designers to deploy the AJC at the point on the chip where it is most effective.

AJC is applicable to several IC sectors, including:

 

• Low-jitter clock generation
• Frequency synthesis / RF
• ADC and DAC
• Wireline and fibre PHY
• ASIC/FPGA embedded PLL
• Digital audio
• Low power RFICs: WAN & PAN
• Display controllers

Three examples are presented, which is a small set of the possible applications which can be envisaged for AJC.
