Working Principles

The 8N3Q001EG-0020CDI8 is a programmable frequency synthesizer that generates precise timing signals for electronic devices. It utilizes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a phase-locked loop (PLL) to synthesize the desired output frequency. The input reference signal is divided and compared with the VCO output, adjusting its frequency until it matches the desired value. The lock detection output indicates when the PLL has achieved synchronization.

Detailed Application Field Plans

• Telecommunications: Timing control for network equipment, base stations, and communication systems.
• Test and Measurement: Synchronization of test instruments, data acquisition systems, and signal generators.
• Industrial Automation: Precise timing for control systems, motion controllers, and robotics.
• Aerospace and Defense: Timing synchronization in avionics, radar systems, and military communication devices.
