Factory-Programmable, Single PLL
Clock Generator
General Description
The MAX9491 multipurpose clock generator is ideal for
communication applications. It offers a factory-program-
mable PLL output that can be set to almost any frequency,
ranging from 4MHz to 200MHz. The MAX9491 uses a
one-time-programmable (OTP) ROM to program the PLL
output. The MAX9491 also features an integrated volt-
age-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) that is tuned by a
DC voltage. The VCXO output is used as the PLL input.
The VCXO has a wide ±200ppm (typ) tuning range. The
OTP on the MAX9491 is factory preset, based upon the
customer request. Contact the factory for samples with
preferred frequencies.
The device operates from a 3.3V supply and is speci-
fied over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature
range. The MAX9491 is available in 14-pin TSSOP and
20-pin TQFN (5mm x 5mm) packages.

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.
