Description

The MAX3679A is a low-jitter precision clock generator with the integration of three LVPECL and one LVCMOS outputs optimized for Ethernet applications. The device integrates a crystal oscillator and a phase-locked loop (PLL) clock multiplier to generate high-frequency clock outputs for Ethernet applications.

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