MAX3636
Low-Jitter, Wide Frequency Range,
Programmable Clock Generator with 10 Outputs
General Description
The MAX3636 is a highly flexible, precision phase-locked
loop (PLL) clock generator optimized for the next gen-
eration of network equipment that demands low-jitter
clock generation and distribution for robust high-speed
data transmission. The device features subpicosecond
jitter generation, excellent power-supply noise rejection,
and pin-programmable LVDS/LVPECL output interfaces.
The MAX3636 provides nine differential outputs and one
LVCMOS output, divided into three banks. The frequency
and output interface of each output bank can be individu-
ally programmed, making this device an ideal replace-
ment for multiple crystal oscillators and clock distribution
ICs on a system board, saving cost and space.
This 3.3V IC is available in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin TQFN
package and operates from -40°C to +85°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.
