Clocker

Clocker is a low noise clock distribution module.

The Clocker module can be used to distribute low jitter clock signal among EEMs.

General information

• 2 inputs (SMA and MMCX)
• 10 outputs including 4 SMAs and 6 MMCx
• frequency up to 1GHz
• low jitter <100fs RMS
• 3U EEM format.
• 12V supply from EEM connector or front panel DC jack
• To avoid mains and DC ground loops, this board adopts a “hybrid ground” strategy, whereby the source and receiver grounds are connected at the signal frequencies, but not at DC.

This module can be used for building control and measurement systems for optical and quantum physics experiments and quantum technologies development. In particular, the Sinara ecosystem is tailored to the needs of working with trapped ions and cold atoms. Compatible with ARTIQ software.
