Low-Jitter, Precision Clock Generator
with Four Outputs
MX3624A
General Description
Features
♦ Crystal Oscillator Interface: 19.375MHz to 27MHz
♦ CMOS Input: 19MHz to 40.5MHz
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.
♦ Output Frequencies
Ethernet: 62.5MHz, 125MHz, 156.25MHz,
312.5MHz
Fibre Channel: 106.25MHz, 159.375MHz,
212.5MHz, 318.5MHz
Maxim’s proprietary PLL design features ultra-low jitter
(0.36ps
) and excellent power-supply noise rejec-
RMS
SONET/SDH: 77.76MHz, 155.52MHz, 311.04MHz
tion, minimizing design risk for network equipment.
♦ Low Jitter
The MAX3624A has three LVPECL outputs and one
LVCMOS output. Selectable output dividers and a
selectable feedback divider allow a range of output
frequencies.
