Low-Jitter, Precision Clock Generator with Four Outputs

All versions are Not Recommended for New Designs. See Ordering Information for recommended replacements.

The MAX3624 is a low-jitter precision clock generator optimized for networking applications. The device integrates 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.

Maxim's proprietary PLL design features ultra-low jitter (0.36ps_RMS) and excellent power-supply noise rejection, minimizing design risk for network equipment.

The MAX3624 has three LVPECL outputs and one LVCMOS output. Selectable output dividers and a selectable feedback divider allow a range of output frequencies.
