Radio Access Network Equipment Synchronizer - Six Channels

The RC38612 RAN synchronizer regenerates and distributes ultra-low jitter; precision timing signals that are locked to IEEE 1588 and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) reference sources elsewhere in a system. The device can be used to precisely synchronize IEEE 1588 Time Stamp Units (TSUs) and SyncE ports on wireless baseband, DU, CU, RU, fronthaul or backhaul networks. Digital PLLs (DPLLs) support hitless reference switching between references from redundant timing sources. The device can be used to actively measure and compensate for clock propagation delays across backplanes and across circuit boards to ensure the distribution of accurate time and phase with minimal time error between IEEE 1588 TSUs in a system. The device supports multiple independent timing channels for IEEE 1588 clock synthesis, SyncE clock generation, jitter attenuation, and radio clock generation including SYSREF generation for converters. Input-to-input, input-to-output and output-to-output phase skew can all be precisely managed. The device outputs ultra-low jitter clocks that can directly synchronize SerDes running at up to 28Gbps; as well as CPRI/OBSAI, SONET/SDH ADC/DAC, and IEEE 1588 TSUs.
