PLL IP, I/O Transceiver IP, SerDes PHY IP
Phase-Locked Loops (PLL), I/O Interface IP, and SerDes PHY IP Blocks
Alphacore’s PLL IP core offerings include highly tunable, low jitter designs up to 13.5GHz.
For high data bandwidth I/O needs, Alphacore offers CML (Current Mode Logic) I/O buffer IP with data rates up to 28Gb/s per lane.
Alphacore’s SerDes IP, designers can develop technologies that are lightweight, highly efficient and can deliver advanced capabilities for next-generation applications.
SerDes is a “must” technology to have in any electronic system, or a set of systems, in which high-speed digital data is transferred from one place to another via, for instance, chiplet-to-chiplet, ASIC-to-ASIC, ASIC-to-FPGA or similar interfaces, using interposers, organic substrates, PCB backplanes, copper cables, fiber-optic connections, etc.

UDX100
The UDX100 is a highly configurable 2.5-8 GHz IQ frequency modulator and demodulator with up to 4 GHz IF bandwidth. The onboard frequency synthesizer eliminates the need for an external local oscillator (LO) source. External ports for LO source and reference oscillator inputs are accessible from the front panel. USB serial interface is compatible with all common operating systems. Serial control allows for tunable gain of RF-output and RF-input signals, LO frequency selection, and even internal loopback of transmit to receive signal chains for calibration purposes
Applications include radio telescopes, point-to-point microwave radios, radar and electronic warfare systems
