Kaben Wireless Silicon

Ottawa, ON - September 22, 2003 - Kaben Wireless Silicon Inc., a developer of mixed-signal, intellectual property (IP) blocks for wireless manufacturers, announced today that they have licensed to a lead customer a Programmable Clock Generator in TSMC 0.18 µm pure digital CMOS.

The Kaben KR-PCG-120-TS18 Clock Generator accepts a crystal frequency input from 10 to 50 MHz and generates a low jitter output between 1 and 120 MHz in steps of less than 1 kHz. The output frequency range is from 12 times to 1/64th of the crystal reference frequency. The cell can be used to clock Microprocessors, DSPs, Digital Logic, A/Ds, and D/As. The product is designed in a process that has only digital CMOS available which allows the IP cell to be dropped into low cost designs.

"Kaben's Clock Generator IP block enables SoC manufacturers to use a single low-power design across most of their products." said Seste Dell'Aera, Kaben's VP Marketing. "The fine resolution and wide frequency range offer a tremendous flexibility to the system designer."
