Ideal for system clock generation, built-in frequency margin testing, SERDES and video clock applications
Los Altos, California, September 22, 2005 -- True Circuits,
Inc. (TCI), a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal intellectual
property (IP) for the semiconductor, systems and electronics
industries, today announced the availability of a new line of
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) hard macros that provide frequency modulation
and very high frequency resolution with over 16 bits of control and
very low long-term jitter.
This new high resolution PLL design is a high frequency resolution
clock multiplier with over 16 bits of control while operating with a
high loop bandwidth to produce very low long-term jitter. It delivers
optimal jitter performance over all multiplication settings. It can
also be configured to provide precise spread-spectrum behavior for
system clock EMI reduction.
"Our new line of high resolution PLLs has been carefully
engineered with a combination of features that will provide our
customers unparalleled implementation flexibility with a single,
standardized hard macro," said Dr. John Maneatis, True Circuits'
President. "With this revolutionary PLL design, True Circuits
has once again raised the bar for high-performance timing
IP."
Pricing and Availability
True Circuits high resolution PLLs are available for customer delivery
in 1Q06 in TSMC, UMC and Chartered processes from 0.25um to 65nm CMOS
processes. The hard macros are available for a per use license fee
with no royalty fees. The license fee includes integration support
from TCI to ensure a successful customer tape out. The deliverables
include GDSII and LVS Spice netlists, behavioral and synthesis models,
Library Exchange Format (LEF) files and extensive user
documentation.
