"We selected TCI's clock generator PLL because of its small size, wide frequency range and superior low-jitter performance. This will enable our ASIC customers to successfully implement multiple SPI-4.2 macros in their high-end telecommunication ASICs and help meet the tight jitter and power budgets required for 10 Gbps SONET/SDH systems."

A TCI deskew PLL, which provides phase-aligned divide by 1, 2, and 4 clock outputs, can facilitate generating the system clock signals, data strobes, and internal double frequency clocks used to clock the output data. Spread-spectrum PLLs can also be used to generate the system clock to lower EMI emissions.
