SANTA CLARA, Calif. & TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpectraLinear Inc. a leading provider of timing solutions for the consumer, computation, embedded, and communication markets, today announced PC EProClock^® , the world’s first non-volatile programmable PC clock family.

“Our programmable technology allows system designers to achieve high signal integrity, optimize timing margins and performance, improve manufacturing margins and reduce EMI…all this with best of class power consumption and cost structure,” said Ilhan Refioglu, president and CEO of SpectraLinear.

System board designers that implement SLI’s PC EProClock enjoy unprecedented benefits from the combination of non-volatile configurability with state of the art clock generation capability. This effective structure allows the designer to promptly achieve optimum compliance and clock signal integrity; historically, attainable typically through device and/or board redesigns impacting schedules by weeks or months. PC EProClock delivers rapid time-to-market results by transitioning from the typical six-to-eight weeks that competitive devices offer, to days-to-sample updated configurations.

Board designers effectively achieve high quality clock signals because the PC EProClock quickly remedies such time consuming design parameters as impedance matching, rise/fall times, skew and phase shifting, differential clock matching, among other signal integrity issues that typically hinder compliance and performance. Furthermore, PC EProClock allows tight control of these parameters through non-volatile programmability, consequently enhancing system margin testing and maximizing manufacturability with a production ready clock component.

Elie Ayache, SpectraLinear’s VP of Segment Marketing and PC clock B.U. explained that “currently available PC system clock devices offer limited, volatile programmability, most often requiring engineers to perform board surgeries to meet stringent compliance and signal quality requirements. SpectraLinear’s intelligent combination of non-volatile EProClock technology with a robust multi-PLL clock generator, hands the board designers the world’s first non-volatile programmable PC clock with a superlative level of configurability.”

Primarily designed for notebook, mobile/wireless applications, the SL2874x PC clock family features less than 10 milliwatts (mW) per PLL, approximately half of the power consumed by typical PLLs.

Due to its inherent high quality of signals and programmability, it is ideal for servers and a wide range of embedded applications. Those include office automation, robotics, data communications, automotive, security systems, storage, and many others.
