I2C-programmable XOs provide superior jitter performance for 100/200/400G apps
A new family of high-performance I2C-programmable crystal oscillators (XOs) are said to deliver best-in-class jitter performance and frequency flexibility. With typical jitter performance as low as 95 fsec, the Si544/Si549 Ultra Series programmable XOs maximize jitter margin for clocking high-speed 28 Gbps and 56 Gbps transceivers used in 100/200/400G communications and data center applications. The […]
Ethernet MCUs simplify industrial gateway to the cloud with one platform
As more nodes connect to the Internet, developers are looking are looking to differentiate their products, adding more unique features. But the problem remains — how do you add more nodes and scale without further straining the network? With more nodes, you need more interfaces to the gateway to talk to these nodes. A typical MCU provides […]
