High-Precision Clock Generators
with Integrated VCXO
General Description
The MAX9450/MAX9451/MAX9452 clock generators
provide high-precision clocks for timing in SONET/SDH
systems or Gigabit Ethernet systems. The MAX9450/
MAX9451/MAX9452 can also provide clocks for the high-
speed and high-resolution ADCs and DACs in 3G base
stations. Additionally, the devices can also be used as a
jitter attenuator for generating high-precision CLK signals.
The MAX9450/MAX9451/MAX9452 feature an integrated
VCXO. This configuration eliminates the use of an exter-
nal VCXO and provides a cost-effective solution for gen-
erating high-precision clocks. The MAX9450/MAX9451/
MAX9452 feature two differential inputs and clock out-
puts. The inputs accept LVPECL, LVDS, differential sig-
nals, and LVCMOS. The input reference clocks range
from 8kHz to 500MHz.
The MAX9450/MAX9451/MAX9452 offer LVPECL, HSTL,
and LVDS outputs, respectively. The output range is up
to 160MHz, depending on the selection of crystal. The
input and output frequency selection is implemented
through the I
2
C or SPI™ interface. The MAX9450/
MAX9451/MAX9452 feature clock output jitter less than
0.8ps RMS (in a 12kHz to 20MHz band) and phase-
noise attenuation greater than -130dBc/Hz at 100kHz.
The phase-locked loop (PLL) filter can be set externally,
and the filter bandwidth can vary from 1Hz to 20kHz.
The MAX9450/MAX9451/MAX9452 feature an input
clock monitor with a hitless switch. When a failure is
detected at the selected reference clock, the device
can switch to the other reference clock. The reaction to
the recovery of the failed reference clock can be
revertive or nonrevertive. If both reference clocks fail,
the PLL retains its nominal frequency within a range of
±20ppm at +25°C.
The MAX9450/MAX9451/MAX9452 operate from 2.4V to
3.6V supply and are available in 32-pin TQFP packages
with exposed pads.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
