LMK6C: could we implement interleaved 180 degree clock signal to parallel PWM controller with 300kHz fsw?

Part Number: LMK6C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMK6P, LMK6D, , LMK05318B

Hello expert,

could we implement interleaved 180 degree clock signal to parallel PWM controller with 300kHz fsw? 

Best regards,

  • Hi Ann, 

    Can you elaborate on your ask exactly? 

    So the requirement is 300 kHz. What is meant by 180 degree clock signal.... something like the n and the p side of the channel must be 180 phase shifted from each other? If so that is the case for differential signals. For the single ended, there's only 1 output. 

    I don't think I've properly understood your request, if you can elaborate on it hopefully I can provide better details.

  • Hello Amin,

    We need two clocks as below with 180 degrees interleaving. May we know if there is any implementation could share with customer? Thanks!

  • Hello Ann, 

    A differential clock will work this way. If you choose LMK6P (LVPECL) or LMK6D (LVDS) - the n and the p side of the channel are 180 phase shifted, meaning when 1 is high, the other is low. LMK6C is a single ended signal, so there is no alternative, inverted channel. 

    Secondly, LMK6 in general will support only MHz frequencies. 1 MHz and up. Your requirement is 300 kHz, correct? We have clock gens that support that low frequency.

  • Hello Amin,

    Yes, we need 300kHz. Do you have suitable clock gen could share with us?

  • Hello Ann, 

    Our clock gens still require an external reference, (some crystal, some oscillator). They're intended to provide multiple outputs, anywhere from 4 - 16 from a common reference. 

    We don't have any standalone oscillator that can support 300 kHz. 

    If a clock gen is acceptable, then an external reference to it will be needed. Something like LMK05318B can provide as low as 1 Hz on Out 7. It does require a 10 - 50 MHz oscillator reference.
