"We chose TCI because of their expertise in PLLs and the proven nature of their PLL designs. By going with TCI in the future, we feel we can spend more time designing our embedded cores and less time doing test chip integration work."

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.
