2.95 GHz clock tree in one IC
The AD9516-1BCPZ from Analog Devices integrates a PLL with a VCO and a 1:14 fanout buffer into a single 64-LFCSP package, eliminating the need for a separate PLL chip plus a clock distribution IC on boards that need to synchronize multiple high-speed converters or FPGAs from one reference. Its 2.95 GHz maximum output frequency covers the reference clock range for most GSPS ADCs, JESD204B converters, and high-speed SerDes transceivers — the integrated VCO tunes from roughly 2.5 GHz to 2.95 GHz, and the internal dividers bring that down to the lower frequencies a baseband processor might need.
Output format flexibility and fanout count
Each of the 14 outputs can be independently configured as CMOS, LVDS, or LVPECL, so a single AD9516-1BCPZ can feed a mix of logic families on the same board — for example, LVPECL to an ADC clock input and LVDS to an FPGA reference — without external level translators. The differential input and differential output capability (Yes/Yes per the spec) means it accepts a clean sine-wave or square-wave reference and preserves signal integrity across the fanout tree, critical when the clock jitter budget is measured in femtoseconds for a 14-bit ADC. With a 1:14 ratio, the part drives up to fourteen loads from one reference input — common in multi-channel receiver arrays, phased-array beamformers, and ATE pin electronics where every channel needs a phase-aligned clock.
The tray packaging is typical for engineering samples and production runs; if your pick-and-place line prefers tape-and-reel, the sibling AD9516-1BCPZ-REEL7 carries the same silicon in reel packaging.
