XR81111
Universal Clock - High Frequency
LVPECL Clock Synthesizer
General Description
FEATURES
• XR81111-CA04: Factory Configured
The XR81111-CA04 is a clock synthesizer with Integer divider, LVPECL
driver, 3.3V/2.5V supply, taking a 25MHz Xtal input and providing one of four
selectable output frequencies. The device is optimized for use with a 25MHz
crystal (or system clock) and generates a selection of output frequencies -
156.25MHz for 10GE/XAUI, 150MHz for SAS, 125MHz for GE and 100MHz
for PCIe applications.
• Footprint compatible with 5mm x 7mm differen-
tial oscillators
• One differential LVPECL output pair
• Crystal oscillator interface which can also be
overdriven using a single-ended reference clock
• Output frequency range: 100MHz - 156.25MHz
The application diagram below shows a typical synthesizer configuration
with any standard crystal oscillating in fundamental mode. Internal load
capacitors are optionally available to minimize/eliminate external crystal
loads. A system clock can also be used to overdrive the oscillator for a syn-
chronous timing system.
• Crystal/input frequency: 25MHz, parallel resonant
crystal
• VCO range: 2GHz - 3GHz
• RMS phase jitter @ 156.25MHz, 12kHz - 20MHz:
<0.60ps
• Full 3.3V or 2.5V operating supply
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Lead-free (RoHS 6) package
The typical phase noise plot below shows the jitter integrated over the
12KHz to 20MHz range that is widely used in WAN systems. Most LAN
applications however use the integration range of 1.875MHz to 20MHz.
These clock devices show a very good high frequency noise floor below -
150dB.
APPLICATIONS
• 10GE, GE LAN/WAN
The XR81111 is a family of Universal Clock synthesizer devices in QFN-10
packages that are footprint compatible with industry standard 5mm x 7mm
oscillators. The devices generate ANY frequency in the range of 100 MHz to
1.5GHz by utilizing a highly flexible delta sigma modulator and a wide rang-
ing VCO. The high clock frequency LVPECL outputs have very low phase
noise jitter of sub 0.6ps, while consuming extremely low power. These
devices can be used with standard crystals or external system clock and can
be configured to select from four different frequency multiplier settings to
support a wide variety of applications. This family of products have an
extremely low power PLL block with core power consumption less than 40%
of the equivalent devices from competition. By second sourcing several of
the existing sockets, these devices provides a very compelling power effi-
ciency value benefit across all market segments.
• 2.5G/10G SONET/SDH/OTN
• xDSL, PCIe
• Low-jitter Clock Generation
• Synchronized clock systems
