gemb has reduced my credit card limit
with all the credit limit decreases going on i decided to keep a extra extra lookout on my accounts online to be prepared and not get caught off guard in unexpected places. well today i looked at my chevron card and noticed that my limit was 460.00 instead of 600.00. I have a few credit cards with no balances but only one with a large balance (hooters 1200cl-900.00 bal). so i emailed them for the reason and in the meanwhile i am going to close the card and tell them to shove it. I have two more gemb backed accounts(walmart and Dillards)with no balances so they maybe on the chopping block also.I have never been late or overlimit on my cards so the reason must be the economy.I may lose points but you can always rebound and plus the good payment history will stay on my report for 7 years. I am sorry for the rant but when you work hard to build your credit and fullfil your credit obligations only to be slapped in the face it's frustrating.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
A lot of this has been going on.
I feel so sorry for you, and I do not blame you when it comes to closing a card because of a decrease. How long have you had the card? If you have years of history, I just say, pay it off and sock drawer it.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
thank you meya , I've had the card about 2 years and cooler heads have prevailed and i will just sock it since there is no annual fee and start using my other cards a little. since i have been on this website,i have learned so much and love the support here that is very genuine.i hope everyone take stock and keep watching out for this because it is happening for real.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
You are so welcome. Guess what? Do you know Amex had the nerves to lower hjm331 cl? NO lates, no balance, not an extravagant limit, give me a serious break Amex, this is pitiful.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
Well, recently AmEx admitted to lowering CL not just for credit scores or utilization but even which businesses you patronize. So thats going above and beyond of protecting themselves.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
Hi everyone! Well Dillards lowered my credit limit from 350.00 (i know thats not alot compared to some) to 190.00 and i have never been late on the card and i just had a 82.00 balance. O well lets see if i get it back for Christmas or its gonna keep my socks company for a while.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
I can't wait to read the letter stating the reasons for the CLD.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
Obviously the cards that are important to all of us are getting the limits reduced not so much for the history of the card but by the handling of other cards that we might carry. Sounds like when observing payment history on the other cards they don't see the cards being paid down fast enough or not to their liking. You would think that if they see the cards being paid down on a consistent basis and the usage is either minimal or none that they would take into consideration one's ability to decrease their exposure to other creditors and at the same time maintain a good payment history with them

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
I absolutely dislike GEMB out of all my credit issuers. I was upset when chevron sold their accounts to them. They are too conservative for me and now this. I haven't checked my chevron card yet, but I'm trying to do so right now and their website is acting up. I currently have a $0 balance on my chevron card, so they may have decreased me too. My lowes card is issued by them also and they started me out with $300 limit, what can you do with that in a home store; it has a $0 balance too. Its just ridiculous and when I asked for an increase they declined my request and stated high utilization on other cards as the reason. I try to avoid them at all costs. They only good thing I can say about them is that my Rooms to Go card was issued by them with a $6K limit. However, anytime I ask for a increase on any of my cards, they do a soft inquiry on all three accounts I have with them (don't know why, but they do) I will keep you guys posted.

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
Well they haven't reduced mine yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Keep the account open like others have said, it makes no sense to close it at this point; just don't use it as much, but make sure you do use it ever now and then so they won't close it. The only reasons I would close an account would be due to a rate increase, or ones that have annual fees or excessive monthly and service fees (once I re-established myself). I wonder what they are going by with these credit limit decreases, because I am pretty much maxed out on most of my other credit cards so I would be a good candidate for one in my opinion. It is impossible to know what these banks are thinking .
October 27th, 2008, 10:52 AM #12
Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
Charonh, all the banks are trying to do is limit their exposure when it comes to these limits on credit cards. If they see you maxed out on other cards, the first thing they are thinking is "Will she be able to pay us in full?" If they see your are making minimum payments with other issuers as well as themselves they might think "If it comes down to them or us, who will she pay?"
I would think that when the bank does a soft pull that they keep those pulls and watch the pattern you have in regards to payment history. You could show a consistent pattern of paying down all your cards, but again, they might think your not paying it down fast enough, who knows..........
October 27th, 2008, 11:50 AM #13
Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
I agree with Charonh and Smcc. When the banks looks at your reports and see that you are carrying large balance on your other cards, they are worried that you will do the same to their card and not be able to pay them back. That is the reason why creditors are reducing credit lines right now. Too many consumers are losing their homes, cars, and filing BK since they can't pay their bills. When they file BK, the consumers also include their credit cards in the BK and that's what the banks are worried about. It wasn't a huge problem few years ago but now that the percentage of consumers filing BK/not able to pay their bills has increased, the banks are limiting their exposure.
October 27th, 2008, 01:24 PM #14
Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
SMCC that's what I am afraid of which is why I plan to get all of mine below 40% before next year. Citibank has not decreased my overall credit line on one of my cards, but they did decrease the cash line amount from $1500 to $500, which I'm ok with. I hadn't planned on using that feature anyway, but it did/does let me know that they are monitoring me. HJM331 what reason did Amex give you for your decrease, I can't find that post, if you don't mind my asking?

Re: gemb has reduced my credit card limit
today on my job i was talking to a friend about what happened to me and to make sure to keep people informed on what's going on. she told me that her father's amex( he is a CEO of a marketing firm) dropped his credit limit from 25k to 1k within 2 months...so suddenly i feel really small about my situation.

These are interesting times and the best thing about it is that competition brings yet another win to the general population.

January 2011
Guess Who's Back?
After a long and agonizing two months, I finally have the
time to sit down and write—and not to mention the day I was able to do this,
I'm literally snowed in after a "blizzard" dropped six inches in North-Atlanta
(which is an absurd amount for Georgia, so everything is shut down).
These last two months have been somewhat of a roller coaster ride for yours
truly, which makes perfect sense because the Red Sox off-season has also sent
the Nation into swirling winds of excitement, hope and utter craziness while we
wait for these last thirty-four days of the "Hot Stove" season to
wind down. With all the recent acquisitions, and my pure eagerness for baseball
season to start, I can't stop thinking about the potential we have for 2011.
Yes, I understand that everyone is "World Series Champs" in the
winter months, but if you take an in-depth look at our starting line-up (no matter
what order Terry Francona decides on), plus our starting rotation, it is only
right for all of us to think we could be major contenders this upcoming season.
On December 6, 2010, five days after my twenty-first birthday, Adrian Gonzalez
was sent to the Red Sox via trade with the San Diego Padres for three minor
league prospects (RHP Casey Kelly, first baseman Anthony Rizzo, outfielder
Reymond Fuentes) and a PTBNL (Eric Patterson). The twenty-eight year old first
baseman, who will be wearing number 28 for the Sox, is coming off an
outstanding season with his hometown team. In 591 at-bats, the lefty hit
.298/.393/.511 with a .904 OPS and belted 31 long balls, with 101 RBIs. The
three-time All-Star ('08, '09, '10) and two-time Gold Glove winner ('08, '09)
knew what to say in his Fenway Park press conference to win over the hearts of
the Nation, stating "I'm ready to beat the Yanks."
Then two days later on the 8th of December, rumors finally came to
rest when it was confirmed that the left fielder for the Tampa Bay Rays, Carl
Crawford (29), signed a 7 year, $142 million contract with the Boston Red Sox.
The four-time All-Star ('04, '07, '09, '10) and 2010 Gold Glove and Silver
Slugger Award winner is entering Boston in his prime. Last year, he hit 19
homers, with 90 RBIs and batted .307/.356/.495 with an .851 OPS. In this
blockbuster deal, Crawford becomes the highest paid outfielder to never hit twenty home-runs in a season.
Happy birthday to me, right?
Although there were plenty of other notable transactions the last few months, I
have to say I'm very excited to see a healthy line-up including Kevin Youkilis,
Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury. Our bullpen could possibly see more changes
by adding another lefty in the mix, however, with Daniel Bard, Bobby
Jenks and Jonathan Papelbon ready to step on that mound, I have a very good
feeling about our pitching staff.
February 13th is slowly but surely creeping up on us, pitchers and catchers
will report, and the chilly Hot Stove season will finally coming to an end.
It's hard to picture myself at a ball game when all I see is white when I look
outside, but I know that very, very soon I will be able to sit back, eat my sunflower seeds, and finally enjoy another memorable baseball season.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and I want you all to know how
great it feels to finally be back!

The included velcro strap to roll it up is nice, but it would be much better if it could be rolled up to a size that would fit in a normal BC pocket.

Nice lift bag
By Diver Dave
from Midland, Texas
About Me Divemaster
Nice bag; easy to carry on you - especially with large carabiner attached. Does the job. Dump lanyard needs to be longer. The design at the base of the bag - that keeps the bag from dumping air at the surface if filled too full - has a drawback: keeps water in the bag when you try and lift it into boat. I have to unscrew air dump valve and drain water thru it. A little inconvenient. Otherwise good bag. I would buy another.

Great lift bag that's easy to use. Kind of bulky in a thigh pocket, but I wouldn't carry a less bulky brand that's not as well made. XS Scuba products are known for their innovation and quality, this bag is no different.

The Word Carrier of Santee Normal Training School. VOLUME XLIII; HELPING THE RIGHT, EXPOSING THE "WRONG. NUMBER 3 SANTEE, NEBRASKA. MAY-JUNE, 1914 THIRTY CENTS PER YEAR Our Platform For Indians we want American Education! We want American Homes! We want American Rights! The result of which is American Citizenship! And the Gospel is the power of God for their Salvation ! My Brother's Keeper "Am I my brother's keeper?" It is a question which has been asked ever since the birth of man. Always it is asked by somebody who is seeking to evade responsibility. Always it is the alibi offered by those who would dodge the issue. It is the cowardly defense of the guilty. The man who.asks this question may be classified at once as not right. A day or two ago, The Missoulian printed an official letter from the commissioner of Indian affairs. It was addressed personally to each of the six thousand employes of the bureau over which Mr. Sells presides in Washington. It was devoted to the consideration of the problem of suppressing the sale of liquor to Indians. Its tone was lofty and its plane was high. The letter should be read by every man and woman, by every boy and girl. For its scope is wider than the mere relation between booze and the red man. It takes in the whole question of personal responsibility; it is an able presentation of the whiskey problem. "I believe," says tbe letter, "that the greatest present menace to the American Indian is whiskey. It does more to destroy his constitution and invite the ravages of disease than anything else. It does more to demoralize him as a man and, frequently, as a woman. It does more to make him an easy prey to t-ie unscrupulous than everything else combined. If I say nothing more to you tonight that leaves an impression, let it be this one thought: Let us save the American Indian from the curse of whiskey." Commissioner Sells does not ignore the question of responsibility, either. In the course of his letter, he says: "There is Dothing that could induce me, since I have taken the oath of office as commissioner of Indian affairs, to touch a single drop of any sort of intoxicating liquor, and this regardless of my attitude on the prohibition question." There is the whole proposition. The primary purpose of the letter was, of course, to discuss with the employes of the Indians. And it carries out that purpose admirably. But with that phase of the letter we have no concern this morning. We might comment upon what we know, here in Missoula, of the failure of the attempts at suppression and we might present the reasons, as they appear to us, for this failure. We might quote Judge Bourquin in connection with the use of stool-pigeons by the men who are working, ostensibly, toward bringing about this suppression. But the paragaphs of the Sells letter which we have quoted stand out so conspicuously from all the rest, that they seem to us.to have a broad bearing upon the general question of personal responsibility. And this is a great question in itself. Comissioner Sells might, with propriety, have omitted the word, Indian, from the first quoted paragraph. All that he alleges in connection with the mixture of whiskey and Indian might have been said with equal truth regarding 'the results of the consumption of whiskey by any man, no matter what, the color of skin. And his plea to save the Indian from the curse of whiskey might, with equal propriety, have been made as to the saving of every man and woman, of every race and creed, from this very evil. Commissioner Sells declares that, with the responsibility of his official oath upon him, he would' not touch a drop of any intoxicating liquor. This is a responsibility which should be realized by every person in authority, no matter who he is or where he is. The father cannot reasonably preach to his son against, the use of liquor, if he himself drinks it. The employer cannot in fairness forbid his employe the drink of whiskey which he himself takes. Each man is his brother's keeper—each man knows in his heart that he is. He may haltingly ask the question, but he knows the answer before he speaks the words. He knows that be is the Big Brother to every weaker one than he. This principle was established when Cain was driven into the wilderness, banished for his crime—but more for bis cowardly evasion. Recognition of this principle is a belief in every man's heart, no matter how zealously he may strive to disxvow it, The whole country is better for this letter of Commissioner Sells. It contains much excellent advice for the people in the Indian department, but—more than that—it carries a sermon to every man in every station. It is another answer, specially well put, to the ancient question, "Am I my brother's keeper?"—The Missoulian. Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian Easter Sunday was celebrated very appropriately at the sehool with Easter music, flowers, decorations and a short service and exposition of the meaning of the Resurrection, by Rev. Mr. Fay, of El Reno, after which the passion play in moving pictures was presented, accompanied by a lecture from Rev. Fay. The Indian boys and girls of the school and the employes filled the chapel. Between the films Miss Aldridge, of Oklahoma City, gave some selections on the violin and selections of Easter music specially purchased for the occasion were played by Mr. Ruckman on his victrola. The pictures were very fine and portrayed the Life of Christ in the most inspiring and instructive manner. After the presentation was over a second presentation was given for the pupils of the Masonic Home at Darlington aud employes and some forty Indians. Rev. F. L. King lectured during this presentation and one of the Indians interpreted for his people. The occasion was very interesting and strange to see here, a gathering of Indian children, white citizens, orphan white children, and blanketed Indians witnessing and participating together iu the worship aud study of the Life of Christ. Po-sibly nowhere has such a thing ever occurred before this. It was a plain witness of the mission of Christ to all men and of the Brotherhood of Man. The Indian office has indicated its disapproval of having exclusive Indian Fairs and its desire that the Indians join in the County Fairs of their district and enter directly iu competition with the white neighbors in farm industries of both men and women. This has been doue so successfully in some agencies, notably Pawnee, through the worthy enterprise of the late Supt. Nellis, who was so unfortunately accidentally killed last fall. He took his Indians into their County Fair twice and they won many prizes both last year and the year before. The Indians of Ft. Belknap, Montana, won prizes at the Omaha Fair three years ago. Supt. Farrell has called a meeting of the other superintendents of this district to confer on the question of winding up of the Indian Fair Association and carrying out the wish of the Department as to Indians joining in the County Fairs. Almost all our Indians are busy planting. This is a good start. Now next we must stick to it. It is a new trail, but the sure one to find food, and make our food grow out of the ground. How wonderful it would be if we could make money, we think, as well we can. God has given us seed, the sunshine, the rain, the life in the ground and so we can all, by just adding a little work, do this miracle and make money grow out of our ground. This miracle we call Farming.—El Reno American. Y. M. C. A. Openings Among Indians It has long beeu usual to speak of tbe fast vanishing Indiau, and in the sense of the picturesque red man of former days, it is probably correct But in actual advance of population, the Indian seems to be more than holding his own. For instance, tbe Government figures of the Indian population in 1903 were 263,000; in 1912 the total was evidence of a substantial increase, 327,000. For this reason new importance is lent to the work of the Indiau department of the International Y. M. C. A. Under the leadership of Secretary Robert D. Hall, formerly with the A. M. A. in the Dakotas, the Christian development of Indiau youth has been vigorously pushed in the last few years. Recently he has spent six months or more among the returned students especially. In this class he places the young Indians who have attended one of the twenty-three non-reservation Government schools provided for Indian education, and who have returned to their reservation homes with this academic education and some knowledge of a trade. The number is about 3,500. It is curious to learn that the opposition to the influence of these more or less tutored youth comes from the so-called religious leaders of the tribes. And yet not so exxri- ous after all, for the returned student has learned of higher and better ways or, at the least, to despise the old tribal superstitions. What an extx-aordinarily interesting field for Christian effort! That the Indian welcomed the Y. M. C. A. is evident by bis organization of the Indiau Y. M. C. A. nearly thirty-five years ago. Now they have more than 1,000 members iu the seventeen Student Christian Associations alone, 500 being in voluntary Bible study and nearly half as many in some sort of definite Christian effort. Other Associations are even supporting a native Y. M. C. A. secretary in ludia among the Asiatic Indians ! And these are the highly interesting Christians among whom it is Mr. Hall's privilege to wox-k. After a round of the reservations in Montana, tbe Dakotas and elsewhere, he is enthusiastic over the possibilities of influencing these backward tribes. Incidentally, he reports an incident of his tour which is not without an almost Scriptural repetition of history and gives an insight into the ancestral attitude of the modern red man. They had planned a conference at Fort Berthold on the Missouri River in North Dakota. With the river running full and dangerous with ice floes, it seemed as if the meeting were foredoomed to failure. Mr. Hall goes on to say: "But the day before a jam formed opposite our meeting place and over two hundred people crossed to the meeting. Wolf Chief, a former student, in accepting the presidency for the year, said: 'I am glad to take this work for I know God is with this young men's work because when we were ready for the meeting aud were afraid there would be no crossing, we ask God to make the meeting good, and so the ice make a bridge, and all the people come over, and we have big meeting and all very happy. This is God's work and we strong.' " And Secretary Hall adds, "This was the only point on the Missouri River at that time where there was a possible crossing." Certainly the opportunity for Christian brotherhood among the Iudians, whether it be through the Y. M. C. A., our own A. M. A. or some other agency, carries a peculiar appeal, It brings back to every informed American a hot-cheeked sense of shame at the long record of the white man for brutality, chicanery and iujustice, a record which is by no means yet closed if we believe the common talk of current Indian administration. For that reason, as opportuuity offers, remember to make amends to the red man whom we dispossessed.—G. J. A., in The Congregationalist.

Preston Road closed Thursday night in Prosper
By Bill Conrad, firstname.lastname@example.com, @Bill_PlanoStar on Twitter
Celina residents heading home Thursday night on Preston Road may need to seek an alternate route.
The first phase of the Preston Road expansion from a two-lane road to a six-lane thoroughfare is set to be completed later this week, and construction crews will have the road closed from 8 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday in order to switch traffic from the northbound lanes to the newly reconstructed southbound lanes.
Celso Martinez, spokesman for the city of Prosper, said the construction will be key to future growth in Prosper as well as Celina.
Martinez said the lack of turn lanes along Preston in Prosper led to a number of traffic accidents. The accident rate should be reduced once the final phase of the construction is completed in about a year, Martinez said. The construction involves digging up and moving utility lines, which has increased the time it has taken to complete the project.
Motorists may use either the Dallas North Tollway or Coit Road as an alternate route, Martinez said, adding that police officers will be on scene to direct at Prosper Trail and 1st Street during the time Preston Road is closed. He said once the road reopens Friday morning, all traffic will use the southbound lanes until the reconstruction and widening of the northbound lanes is completed in early 2014.
"When this project is complete Preston Road through Prosper and Celina is going to be a major thoroughfare just like it is south of U.S. 380," Martinez said. "This closure is one of these unavoidable inconveniences, but Friday morning we are going to be fat and happy."

The deeper that we get into Shimano's new line of cycling shoes, the more that we start to wonder, 'where's the entry-level?' Simply by going in order, the new SH-R088 Shoes fall second in the catalog. However, it retains key features from Shimano shoes well above it.
Shimano had one key objective for its SH-R088 shoes: meeting comfort with quality. And not surprisingly, Shimano did not disappoint. The R088s feature a fiberglass-reinforced polyamide outsole construction that strikes the ideal balance between rigidity and comfort. Now, we're all led to believe that stiffer is better, and in some cycling applications, this is absolutely true. However, it's crucial to remember that over the course of a century, that overly rigid shoe will degrade your circulation. So, to avoid the eventual numbing, Shimano developed what it calls its Dynalast technology. This outsole system delivers power to the pedal, while still allowing a calculated level of flex. This is possible due to the sole's variable stiffness and density that accommodates the movements of the arch.
Furthering this power transfer are the R088's securing straps. The shoes feature two hook-and-loop straps that allow you to control the shoes' internal volume. Shimano has given these a broad and offset design that makes them simple to grab and adjust while in the saddle, should you need to make any on-the-fly adjustments. Controlling the overall tightness and security is a Shimano micro-adjust, ratcheting buckle. This system allows you make incremental adjustments with an elongated ratchet fixture. And when examining all three straps, it becomes obvious that they all work in unison with the R088's anatomic last design.
For the uppers, Shimano used a stretch-resistant, synthetic leather for the support structure. This material is similar to other high-end synthetics in that it's more durable, lighter weight, and better to look at than traditional leather. To keep your feet cool, Shimano placed ultralight open mesh at the points of ventilation. Even better, in cooperation with the synthetic leather, this keeps the elasticity of the shoes extremely high, while providing the utmost in breathability and moisture management. More importantly, though, the uppers have been arranged around the Dynalast system. This design was the result of years of research and development that was hinged on pro-rider feedback. And the finished product is a last that adds an anatomic curve and the perfect amount of tension at the toe-spring section of the shoe. Accordingly, this design creates a smoother, more efficient upstroke, while promoting a wider range of motion for the legs.
The Shimano SH-R088 Shoes area available in the colors White and Black and in whole sizes ranging from 36.0 to 52.0. Please note that these shoes are only compatible with three-hole cycling cleat systems. However, with the Shimano adapter, SM-SH40, these shoes are compatible with two-hole, SPD cleats.

Revving up the Rancho Santa Fe food scene is a talented young chef with a knack for elevating traditional fare to another plane by coaxing the finest flavors from the simplest of ingredients. Dolce Pane e Vino's Executive Chef Chris O'Donnell gained experience with top chefs, but it's here at the helm he's defined his style. Local, seasonal farm-to-table combinations blend with traditions, techniques, and flavors to create the California-Italian inspired menu that has gained soaring neighborhood popularity. The wine list (and full bar) are as carefully crafted as the food, and the perfect accompaniment to full entrées like the popular Cedar Plank Atlantic Salmon with Charred Asparagus, or the handcrafted paninis, soups, salads, and wood-fired pane rusticos. Like O'Donnell, Dolce is unmistakably unique, a neighborhood favorite with a warmhearted attitude.

Episode Teaser Image:
Episode Description:
The Barclays LIBOR scandal seems like just another example of banks behaving badly, but in London, many are worried it has tarnished the city's reputation as the world's financial center. Here in the U.S., we look at alternative economic indicators to the otherwise drab June jobs report. One small South Texas town is struggling to deal with its oil boom. A new company aims to help people get much-needed loans and build their credit rating at the same time. And Sarah Gardner talks to Eric Klinenberg about the 1995 Chicago heatwave that killed over 700 people, and what we've done to prepare for heatwaves since then.

Journey to the West
Journey to the West provides quality holistic and compassionate natural health care to young families. We use acupuncture, Chinese herbs and Chinese diet therapy to help treat health problems that both kids and adults experience throughout their growing life.CHINESE DIETARY THERAPY
Chinese Dietary Therapy is very different from Western nutrition. Obviously vitamins and minerals should be taken into consideration but so should our individual constitutional type.
Journey to the West offers specific Dietary Therapy consultations with a personalized diagnosis and 6-8 page Chinese Diet Therapy report which includes suggestions of easy to obtain, delicious foods to add in to the diet.
We also suggest the removal of certain foods which may be causing more trouble than they are worth. The report also includes a full explanation of the diagnosis, helping clients to understand why it's important to change the diet. Our philosophy is that our suggestions should be sustainable to maintain and adaptable to the Western pallate.
Most people don't think about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) when they get sick, but more as a luxury. In truth, TCM has treatments that have developed over thousands of years and had contributions from thousands of TCM doctors for most problems that occur in the human body.
It's the philosophy at Journey to the West that the more information we have about an issue, the more power that we have when trying to resolve it. As a result we incorporate the principles of modern science with the ancient principles of TCM to provide comprehensive health care. We believe that TCM can work alongside conventional medicine to achieve effective results and put our clients' wellbeing first.

Pericom launches clock generator family
Tell us What You Think
We want to know what you thought about this Product. Let us know by adding a comment.
Pericom Semiconductor Corp. introduced a family of HiFlex clock generators, offering multiple frequency outputs with very low jitter, high integration, and high flexibility for use in networking, cloud computing, and other high performance platforms that require multiple frequencies and outputs.
The new HiFlex clock generator family is designed to drive down the Bill of Materials (BOM) cost and to increase board space utilization of the timing tree. By integrating multiple components of a timing tree into a single clock generator IC, instead of using crystal oscillators (XOs) and fan out buffers, Pericom's family of HiFlex clock generators enables cost savings without sacrificing the necessary performance of customer designs.
One of the main drivers of growth today in the networking segment is the growth in cloud computing and services. According to Forrester Research, cloud computing is projected to be a $241 billion market by 2020 and the infrastructure market has a significant portion of it. Pericom's HiFlex clocks can provide the high performance timing needed for infrastructure, enterprise networking, and data center servers that are part of the cloud-computing ecosystem..
Key features and benefits of the HiFlex clock IC family include: multiple frequency outputs specific to key protocols, user programmable frequencies across different output protocol types via pin strapping or I2C, jitter performance comparable to traditional XO products, and reduced BOM cost and board space.
