Our proprietary process technology enables Maxim designers to develop LC VCOs with substantially lower jitter than ring oscillators. Our PLL and XO design expertise allows us to achieve
excellent power-supply noise rejection (PSNR).
Maxim pioneered the improvement in jitter and power-supply noise rejection, which is required for high-speed interfaces such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 8.5Gbps Fibre Channel. Our jitter is 2–3x better than our best-known competitor and our PSNR is more than 20dB better.
