PL903xxx
Revision 1.0
General Description
The PL903xxx series is a small form factor, high
performance OTP-base device and a member of Micrel’s
JitterBlocker, factory programmable jitter attenuators. The
JitterBlocker product family cleans deterministic jitter by
attenuating spurious components in the phase noise,
thereby improving the phase jitter and the overall phase
noise. The PL903xxx is capable of reducing multiple pico
seconds of phase jitter in a clock to a level below 1ps
RMS
,
making that clock usable for many more applications.
The PL903xxx operates on a single 2.5V or 3.3V supply
and is housed in a small QFN package for a broad range
of applications.
Input clock frequencies up to 200MHz can be filtered and
frequency translation allows for output clock frequencies
up to 840MHz.
Datasheets and support documentation are available on
Micrel’s web site at:

PL903xxx
Functional Description
PL903xxx series is a very flexible, advanced programmable jitter filter design for high performance, small form-factor
applications. The PL903xxx accepts a reference clock input between 12MHz and 200MHz and is capable of producing
one differential output up to 840MHz or two single ended outputs up to 250MHz. The most common configuration will be
with the same input and output frequency but this flexible design also allows frequency translation from one frequency to
another frequency, as long as both frequencies are within the specified ranges for input and output.
Jitter Attenuation
Typically the jitter attenuation settings will be optimized for
one particular input and output frequency. Customization
of attenuation properties is possible.
The lowest possible output phase jitter, or phase jitter
floor, is 251fs for the 12kHz to 20MHz integration range
and 55fs for the Gigabit Ethernet integration range of
1.875MHz to 20MHz. The PL903xxx excels at attenuating
deterministic jitter that presents itself as spurs in the phase
noise plot above 1MHz.
Clock Output
The output pins Q and /Q make a differential output that
can be programmed to several different logic types:
LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL or LVCMOS. In the case of
LVCMOS, there are three possible configurations:
1. One single-ended output with the complementary pin
disabled to a high impedance.
2. Two single-ended, in-phase outputs.
3. A differential output with opposite phases at the two
output pins
Output Frequency
The most common configuration is where the output
frequency is the same as the input frequency. However,
frequency translations are possible. The input frequency
upper limit is 200MHz, but the output can go up to
840MHz.
Output Enable (OE)
The Output Enable feature allows the user to enable and
disable the clock output(s) by toggling the OE pin. The OE
pin incorporates a 45kΩ pull-up resistor giving a default
condition of logic “1” that enables the output(s).
Reference (Noisy) Clock Input (REFIN)
The input requires a single-ended CMOS signal. The
frequency range for the input is 12MHz to 200MHz.

Notes:
2. Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device.
3. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.
4. Package thermal resistance assumes the exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device’s most negative potential on the PCB.
5. The circuit is designed to meet the AC and DC specifications shown in the Electrical Characteristics tables after thermal equilibrium has been
established.
