SpectraLinear announces family of EProClock generators

SANTA CLARA, USA: SpectraLinear Inc. a leading provider of timing solutions for the embedded, communication, computation, and consumer markets, has announced a family of programmable clock generators designed to provide the timing and frequency requirements for the Tunnel Creek based systems including the complimentary I/O hubs such as Topcliff.

Available support for the Wake On LAN (WOL) function and the ability to expand on PCIe devices are some of the essential features in these products. All the devices in the family employ SLI’s exclusive EProClock technology for accessibility to a myriad of programmable options. The parts are available in TSSOP and QFN packaging for space challenging designs.

“This new family of clock generators geared for the QueensBay platform is yet another illustration of SpectraLinear’s commitment to provide the timing and clocking requirements for the expanding embedded market,” said Dr. Ilhan Refioglu, president and CEO of SpectraLinear. “These devices are designed for compliance with industrial grade and they have a minimum life of eight years. They also present best-of-class performance with very low power consumption and unsurpassed programmability.”

The initial four devices in this family provide the designer with the options to use QFN packages for tiny module boards and have additional PCIe outputs for larger main system board designs with PCIe expansion slots”, said Elie Ayache SpectraLinear’s VP of Marketing.

“The wide diversity of applications in the embedded industry often stipulates alteration to the basic design in order to adapt either to the end product requirements or to its differentiating features. SLI’s proprietary EProClock technology provides the system engineers with that needed flexibility to adjust timing, frequency, output AC parameters, EMI attenuation and ultimately the ability to receive customized samples in a matter of days.”

In order to support the various requirements of the Tunnel Creek based platforms, the first four EProClock core devices offer a mixture of options ranging from the number of CPU and PCIe clock outputs to the type of packaging.
