Low-Jitter, Precision Clock Generator With Four Outputs

The MAX3624A is a low-jitter, precision Clock Generator optimized for networking applications. The device inte- grates a crystal Oscillator and a phase-locked loop (PLL) Clock multiplier to generate high-frequency Clock outputs for Ethernet Fibre Channel, SONET SDH and other networking applications. Maxim’s proprietary PLL design features ultra-low jitter (0.36psRMS) and excellent power-supply noise rejec- tion, minimizing design risk for network equipment. The MAX3624A has three LVPECL outputs and one LVCMOS output. Selectable output dividers and a selectable feedback divider allow a range of output frequencies. By Maxim Integrated Products
