Inphi Corporation Debuts 25 GHz Latched Comparators, the 25706CP and 25707CP, Delivering the World's Fastest Precision Data Sampling.WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- New Component First and Only Solution to Offer Low Jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle , Offset and Hysteresis hysteresis (hĭs'tərē`sĭs), phenomenon in which the response of a physical system to an external influence depends not only on the present magnitude of that influence but also on the previous history of the system. for High Frequency Digitization of Ultra-Wideband (18 GHz) Signals Redefining high performance, Inphi Corporation (www.inphi-corp.com) today announced the 25706CP and 25707CP - 25 GHz Latched Comparators. These devices provide an order of magnitude A change in quantity or volume as measured by the decimal point. For example, from tens to hundreds is one order of magnitude. Tens to thousands is two orders of magnitude; tens to millions is three orders of magnitude, etc. increase in comparator comparator Instrument for comparing something with a similar thing or with a standard measure, in particular to measure small displacements in mechanical devices. In astronomy, the blink comparator is used to examine photographic plates for signs of moving bodies. sampling frequency relative to other commercially available comparators, enabling very high frequency and accurate digitization of broadband analog inputs. The Latched Comparator operates at 25 GHz (sampling speed) with less than 4 mV hysteresis. In addition to speeding the development of new applications, the 25706CP and 25707CP - 25 GHz Latched Comparator is ideal for broadband test and measurement equipment, high speed instrumentation, automatic test equipment (ATE), military, and telecommunications applications. SyntheSys Research, Inc. was among the first customers for Inphi's high-speed latch comparator technology, utilizing the part in its BertScope (TM), for testing high-speed communications systems and components by incorporating Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) An analysis of network transmission efficiency that computes the percentage of bits received in error from the total number sent. ) functions with sample-rich eye Diagram analysis. "The Latched Comparator developed by Inphi gives our BERTScope product its ultra high-performance," said Tom Waschura, Chief Technology Officer of SyntheSys Research, Inc. "Partnering with Inphi to incorporate their technology gives us direct access to phenomenal jitter and noise reducing performance that directly impacts our key performance specifications." The 25706CP and 25707CP - 25 GHz Latched Comparator has less than 200 fs random jitter, and has an analog input 3 dB BW of 18 GHz allowing users to capture higher frequency signals for digitization. Its very low input offset of 1.5 mV results in a particularly high level of input sensitivity. Key Features: -- Supports clock rates up to 25 GHz -- Hysteresis less than 4 mV -- 100 ps propagation delay input to output (Clk-Q) -- Output amplitude 1.2 Vpp differential -- Low power consumption: 550 mW -- Supports single-ended and differential operation -- Fast rise and fall times: 15 ps -- Either + or -3.3 V power supply -- Deterministic Jitter: 2.0 ps p-p -- Random Jitter 0.2 ps RMS Price and Availability The 25706CP- 25 GHz Latched Comparator operates from a single -3.3 V power supply and is available in a ceramic land grid array The land grid array (LGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits. It can be electrically connected to a PCB either by the use of a socket or by soldering directly to the PCB. (LGA LGA abbr. large for gestational age LGA Large for gestational age, see there ) package or in die form. The packaged part is also available on an evaluation board with SMA connectors. For customers requiring a comparator that operates from a +3.3 V power supply Inphi offers the 25707CP. The part is expected to sell for $800 in low volume.
