What are the differences between these Ecliptek LVDS product series and other PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based products offered by our competitors?
Although mechanically similar to these product series, there are often major electrical differences between a PLL based oscillator and a non-PLL based oscillator. The most significant of these differences is rms phase jitter and phase noise performance. A device using a PLL based (i.e. frequency multiplication) oscillator often has inferior rms phase jitter and phase noise performance as compared with one that uses a non-PLL based oscillator. In conjunction with using exclusive crystal processing methods and proprietary design techniques, Ecliptek has implemented custom LVDS output driver circuitry and innovative circuit layout techniques enabling the oscillators to have exceptionally low jitter and phase noise. It is recommended that the customer obtain the electrical specifications from the Ecliptek web site and compare the electrical parameter(s) of interest.
