‘Sonet’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release ON Semiconductor unveils silicon-based VCXOs from ON Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "ON Semiconductor has introduced a range of silicon-based voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs) for use in networking, Sonet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, base-station and broadcasting equipment.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ADI releases AD9553 and ADCLK944 clocks from Analog Devices: "Two new clocks from Analog Devices (ADI) improve performance and reduce programming and design complexity in synchronous optical networks and wireless base stations. ".
In April 2010, we covered the news from ON Semiconductor - take a look at ON Semiconductor expands multiplexer product range which says: "ON Semiconductor has further expanded its range of multiplexer products with the addition of eight mux/fanout devices.".
Take a look also at the news release from Ecliptek, Ecliptek adds VCMOs to frequency control range, as well as Lecroy selects Keithley RF/microwave switch system from Keithley Instruments, and ON Semiconductor expands range of clock drivers from ON Semiconductor.
