General Description
The PL607041 is a member of the ClockWorks family of
devices from Micrel and provides an extremely low-noise
Spread-Spectrum clock for PCI Express requirements.
The device operates from a 3.3V or 2.5V power supply
and synthesizes four HCSL output clocks at 25MHz,

EMI Reduction
The Spread Spectrum modulation causes the emission of
spectral components in the clock signal to be reduced. The
spectrum plot on the right shows measurement results with
the two spread settings versus no spread. This plot is
looking at the 11th harmonic in a 100MHz clock, at
1.1GHz. The scale is normalized to the strength of this
spur without spread. The plot shows about 21dB reduction
for -0.25% spread magnitude and 24dB for -0.50% spread
magnitude.
The plot also shows how the frequency spreading is
happening downwards.

Notes:
2. Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional operation is not implied
at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
3. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.
4. Package thermal resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the devices most negative potential on the PCB.
5. The circuit is designed to meet the AC and DC specifications shown in the above table(s) after thermal equilibrium has been established.

Notes:
6. All phase noise measurements were taken with an Agilent 5052B phase noise system.
7. Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions; measured at the output differential crossing points.
8. Measured using 25MHz crystal as the input reference source. If using an external reference input, use a low phase noise source. With an external
reference, the phase noise will follow the input source phase noise up to about 1MHz.

9. The modulation rate is created from the crystal frequency, divided by 792.
10. The typical modulation makes the output frequency sweep between the target frequency (0%) and the down-spread value (-0.25% or -0.5%). There
is process variation on the modulation magnitude and the smallest and largest possible modulation magnitude sweep ranges are listed in the table.
