Stanford Research CG635
The CG635 oscillator is engineered to deliver exceptional stability in generating square wave clocks, covering a frequency range from 1 µHz to an impressive 2.05 GHz. With its high-frequency resolution and remarkably low jitter, this instrument is perfectly suited for the development and testing of a wide array of digital components, systems, and networks.
In high-performance applications where clean clocks are paramount, the CG635 stands out. It plays a crucial role in the functionality of high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) and Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), as spurious clock modulation and jitter can introduce unwanted artifacts and noise, deteriorating signal quality and waveform reconstruction. Additionally, in communication systems, elements such as jitter, wander, and frequency offsets are critical as they can lead to increased bit error rates or complete synchronization loss. The CG635 is designed to deliver the stable, precise clocks essential for these demanding applications.
