SiT9514x jitter attenuator as timing source for JESD204B RF converters in 5G RRU
SiT9514x family of jitter attenuators offer a highly integrated clocking solution for JESD204B compliant
interfaces used in radar, servo loop control and multi-channel multi-carrier applications like 5G RRU and
phased antenna array MIMO. All devices in the SiT9514x family meet the stringent timing requirements
for JESD204B Subclass 0 and Subclass 1.

JESD204B overview
JESD204B is a JEDEC standard which defines a high-speed serial interface link between data converters
and logic devices. A block diagram of a JESD204B link showing the data link and timing signals is shown

To achieve deterministic latency, each transmitter and receiver in the data link must be clocked by
timing references with fixed phase relationships. The SiT9514x serves as the JESD204B clock source for
providing these timing references. The SiT9514x distributes both a device clock (
Dev_Clock
) and a
source synchronous system reference (
SYSREF
) signal to each device in the link.
