The 270 field programmable VCXO clock synthesizer generates up to eight high-quality, high-frequency clock outputs including multiple reference clocks from a low-frequency crystal input. It is designed to replace crystals and crystal oscillators in most electronic systems. Using IDT's VersaClockTM software to configure PLLs and outputs, the 270 contains a One-Time Programmable (OTP) ROM for field programmability. Programming features include VCXO, eight selectable configuration registers and up to two sets of four low-skew outputs. Using Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device runs from a standard fundamental mode, inexpensive crystal, or clock. It can replace VCXOs, multiple crystals and oscillators, saving board space and cost. The 270 is also available in factory programmed custom versions for high-volume applications.
