Control of the internal VCXO is available to the user. The acquisition time of the SCRM-155 is 260 nsec. This could be useful in radio applications, or other bursty data environments. The SCRM-155 can be used as a multiplier to supply a transmit clock. It will supply a low jitter clock at 155.52 MHz when locked to any sub-harmonic of the output clock rate.
Older technology based clock and data recovery devices have problems interfacing to one another.
The SCRM-155 has no such limitations. IEEE Trans. on Communications, Vol. Com-33, No. 7, July 1985. Com-34, No. 5, May 1986. The most recent change occurred Friday, February 23, 2001.
