Clock and timing

The MAG-PLL00002 delivers competitive performance while integrating key components to minimize external circuitry and reduce board size. With versatile output drivers, support for multiple signaling standards, a flexible frequency range from 1 MHz to 5 GHz, an integrated VCO and loop filter, this phase-locked loop (PLL) provides a cost-effective, compact solution without compromising on quality or functionality.

The MAG-TDC00002 is the industry’s only patented radiation-hardened Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) specifically designed for precise time measurements in space and other harsh environments. Offering picosecond resolution, it delivers unmatched performance for demanding applications such as nuclear decay timing and time-of-flight measurements. With automatic self-calibration to mitigate variations in process, voltage, temperature, and radiation levels, this TDC ensures stable, accurate operation. Additionally, its low power consumption during idle periods enhances efficiency, making it the ultimate solution for space-grade timing applications.

The MAG-TDC10002 Evaluation Kit offers a fast and effective way to assess key performance metrics. It includes a base board and a TDC00002, which interfaces easily with a PC through USB Type-C and allows to assess the metrics via an easy to use evaluation tool. The base board can be powered either by USB or an external supply, and features indicators and jumpers for straightforward power management. The TDC SOIC board provides connections for external measurement equipment via SMA connectors, enabling accurate time-to-digital conversion testing. Comprehensive setup instructions, recommended waveform generator settings, and maximum ratings are clearly outlined in the documentation, ensuring a smooth and efficient evaluation process.
