Technical
The WP3C21 can distribute or generate up to 12GHz clocks. Clocks can be generated from an ultra-low phase noise fixed frequency PLL or from an adjustable PLL synthesizer. It can distribute 11 copies of AUXCLK and REFCLK across the backplane, as well as up to 11 RF copies across coax though the VITA 67 backplane interface. It includes an on-board Xilinx UltraScale+™ Zynq® to configure the card on power up for true stand alone functionality as well as update and/or change the configuration in-system.
