track-and-hold allows sampling of IF signals to greater than Applications 250MHz. The part produces two-tone, dithered, SFDR of 83d BFS Cellular base-stations at 75MHz input frequency. The differential analog input provides IN (B z) Digital communications excellent common mode rejection, while the differential universal Infrared/CCD imaging clock inputs minimize jitter. The 48-pin TSSOP package provides IF sampling an extremely small footprint for applications where space is a Electro-optics critical consideration. The CLC5957 operates from a single +5V Instrumentation power supply. Operation over the industrial temperature range of Medical imaging -40°C to +85°C is guaranteed. National Semiconductor tests High definition video
each part to verify compliance with the guaranteed specifications.
