Data Sheet
HMC7043
The HMC7043 is designed to meet the requirements of multicarrier
GSM and LTE base station designs, and offers a wide range of
clock management and distribution features to simplify baseband
FEATURES
JEDEC JESD204B support
Low additive jitter: <15 fs rms at 2457.6 MHz (12 kHz to 20 MHz)
Very low noise floor: −155.2 dBc/Hz at 983.04 MHz
Up to 14 LVDS, LVPECL, or CML type device clocks (DCLKs)
Maximum CLKOUTx/CLKOUTx and SCLKOUTx/SCLKOUTx
frequency of 3200 MHz
JESD204B-compatible system reference (SYSREF) pulses
25 ps analog and ½ clock input cycle digital delay
independently programmable on each of 14 clock
output channels
and radio card clock tree designs.
The HMC7043 provides 14 low noise and configurable outputs
to offer flexibility in interfacing with many different components in
a base transceiver station (BTS) system, such as data converters,
local oscillators, transmit/receive modules, field programmable
gate arrays (FPGAs), and digital front-end ASICs. The HMC7043
can generate up to seven DCLK and SYSREF clock pairs per the
JESD204B interface requirements.
SPI-programmable adjustable noise floor vs. power consumption
SYSREF valid interrupt to simplify JESD204B synchronization
Supports deterministic synchronization of multiple
HMC7043 devices
RFSYNCIN pin or SPI-controlled SYNC trigger for output
synchronization of JESD204B
GPIO alarm/status indicator to determine system health
Clock input to support up to 6 GHz
48-lead, 7 mm × 7 mm LFCSP package
The system designer can generate a lower number of DCLK and
SYSREF pairs, and configure the remaining output signal paths
for independent phase and frequency. Both the DCLK and SYSREF
clock outputs can be configured to support different signaling
standards, including CML, LVDS, LVPECL, and LVCMOS, and
different bias conditions to adjust for varying board insertion losses.
One of the unique features of the HMC7043 is the independent
flexible phase management of each of the 14 channels. All
14 channels feature both frequency and phase adjustment. The
outputs can also be programmed for 50 Ω or 100 Ω internal and
external termination options.
APPLICATIONS
JESD204B clock generation
Cellular infrastructure (multicarrier GSM, LTE, W-CDMA)
Data converter clocking
Phase array reference distribution
Microwave baseband cards
The HMC7043 device features an RF SYNC feature that synchro-
nizes multiple HMC7043 devices deterministically, that is, ensures
that all clock outputs start with the same edge. This operation is
achieved by rephrasing the nested HMC7043 or SYSREF control
unit/divider, deterministically, and then restarting the output
dividers with this new phase.
