5.4 Get Your Clocks in Sync for JESD204B Data Converters

With the growth of multi-channel communications systems and element-level phased array radars, there is a growing need for clocking solutions to synchronize multiple high-speed data acquisition systems. 

This training will explore a new reference design that focuses on high-speed clock synchronization in JESD204B data converters. 

Questions answered in this 30-minute training will include:

• What are typical applications for high-speed multichannel data acquisition?
• What are common methods of clocking JESD204B data converters?
• What are the important signals in JESD204B systems, and what are their constraints?
• What are the requirements to achieve deterministic latency?
