Low-Jitter 106.25MHz/212.5MHz Fibre-Channel
Clock Generator
General Description
Features
The MAX3610 is a low-jitter, high-performance, dual-rate
clock generator optimized for 1Gbps/2Gbps/4Gbps
Fibre-Channel applications. When connected with an
external AT-cut crystal, the device generates a precision
clock output by integrating a crystal oscillator with
Maxim’s low-noise phase-locked loop (PLL) providing a
low-cost solution. By coupling Maxim’s low-noise PLL
design featuring a low-jitter generation VCO with an
inexpensive fundamental mode crystal, the MAX3610
provides the optimum combination of low cost, flexibility,
and high performance.
♦ Clock Output Frequencies: 106.25MHz or
212.5MHz
♦ Phase Jitter: 0.7ps
RMS
♦ LVPECL or LVDS Output
♦ Excellent Power-Supply Noise Rejection
♦ Supply Current: 50mA at +3.3V Supply (LVPECL)
53mA at +3.3V Supply (LVDS)
♦ 0°C to +85°C Temperature Range
The MAX3610 output frequency is selectable. When
using a 26.5625MHz crystal, the output clock rate can
be set to either 106.25MHz or 212.5MHz. When operat-

ing at 106.25MHz, the typical phase jitter is 0.7ps
RMS
from 12kHz to 20MHz. The MAX3610A has low-voltage
positive-emitter-coupled logic (LVPECL) clock output
drivers. The MAX3610B has low-voltage differential-sig-
nal (LVDS) clock output drivers. The MAX3610 output
drivers can also be disabled.

OUTPUTS
The MAX3610 operates from a single +3.3V supply.
The PECL version typically consumes 165mW, while the
LVDS version typically consumes 174mW. Both devices
are available in die form and have a 0°C to +85°C oper-
ating temperature range.
