PL903xxx
Revision 1.0
General Description
Features
The PL903xxx series is a small form factor, high
performance OTP-base device and a member of Micrel’s
JitterBlocker, factory programmable jitter attenuators. The
JitterBlocker product family cleans deterministic jitter by
attenuating spurious components in the phase noise,
thereby improving the phase jitter and the overall phase
noise. The PL903xxx is capable of reducing multiple pico
• Lowest-power, smallest programmable jitter attenuator
• Input frequency up to 200MHz
• Output frequency up to 840MHz
• Jitter attenuation 20dB at 3MHz spur frequency
• Additive phase jitter or phase jitter floor:
− 55fs for 1.875MHz to 20MHz
− 251fs for 12kHz to 20MHz
• Single ended CMOS input
• One differential or two single ended outputs. Output
logic types supported are LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL and
LVCMOS (single ended or differential).
seconds of phase jitter in a clock to a level below 1psRMS
making that clock usable for many more applications.
,
The PL903xxx operates on a single 2.5V or 3.3V supply
and is housed in a small QFN package for a broad range
of applications.
Input clock frequencies up to 200MHz can be filtered and
frequency translation allows for output clock frequencies
up to 840MHz.
• Operating temperature range from –40°C to +85°C
• Available in 24-pin QFN RoHS-compliant package.
