GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9550 is a phase-locked loop (PLL) based clock translator
designed to address the needs of wireline communication and
base station applications. The device employs an integer-N PLL
to accommodate the applicable frequency translation requirements.
It accepts a single-ended input reference signal at the REF input.
The AD9550 is pin programmable, providing a matrix of
standard input/output frequency translations from a list of

15 possible input frequencies to a list of 52 possible output
frequency pairs (OUT1 and OUT2).
The AD9550 output is compatible with LVPECL, LVDS, or
single-ended CMOS logic levels, although the AD9550 is
implemented in a strictly CMOS process.
The AD9550 operates over the extended industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C.
