OTTAWA, CANADA — (Marketwire) — 07/14/11 — Zarlink Semiconductor (TSX: ZL) today introduced a new service that allows equipment designers to customize the Company-s recently released ClockCenter free-run clocking products to meet specific application requirements. With this new level of customization, Zarlink-s customers can simplify and accelerate design to speed time-to-market for new equipment.
Zarlink-s One Time Programmable service allows customers to optimize ClockCenter free-run products to meet their unique requirements for high-speed telecom and datacom equipment. Depending on the application requirements, customers can choose up to 20 clock outputs, select the output clock type and specify pre-programmed default clock rates from 1 kHz to 750 MHz. Sample products ordered using the One Time Programmable service are available within five business days.
“By combining the unmatched flexibility of our ClockCenter free-run products with customization capabilities, we are providing our customers with timing products that meet their exact configuration requirements,” said Louise Gaulin, vice president of Zarlink-s Timing and Synchronization product group. “This level of flexibility and programmability means that, when simply powered up, our ClockCenter free-run products can clock processors, memory and PHY chips, FPGAs and backplane interfaces across multiple end-applications. Competing devices can-t match the flexibility of our ClockCenter devices, and may require complex system configuration to meet clocking demands for various applications.”
Accelerating equipment design
Zarlink-s One Time Programmable service is initially available for the recently released ClockCenter ZL30230 four channel universal clock generator and ZL30236 dual channel universal clock generator products.
