+3.3V, Low-Jitter, Precision Clock Generator
with Multiple Outputs
General Description
The MAX3629 is a low-jitter precision clock generator
optimized for network applications. The device inte-
grates a crystal oscillator and a phase-locked loop
(PLL) to generate high-frequency clock outputs for
Ethernet applications.
Maxim’s proprietary PLL design features ultra-low jitter
(0.4ps
RMS
) and excellent power-supply noise rejection
(PSNR), minimizing design risk for network equipment.
The MAX3629 contains five LVDS outputs and three
LVCMOS outputs. The output frequencies are selec-
table among 125MHz, 156.25MHz, and 312.5MHz by
pin control.

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.

A series resistor of up to 10.5Ω is allowed between V
DD
and V
DDA
for filtering supply noise when system power-supply tol-
erance is V
DD
= 3.3V ±5%. See Figure 4.
All outputs unloaded.
The current when an LVDS output is shorted to ground is the steady-state current after the detection circuitry has settled. It
is expected that the LVDS output short to ground condition is short-term only.
Measured with OSC_IN input with 50% duty cycle.
Measured with a series resistor of 33Ω to a load capacitance of 3.0pF. See Figure 2.
The OSC_IN input can be DC- or AC-coupled.
Must be within the absolute maximum rating of V
DD
+ 0.3V.
AC characteristics of LVCMOS outputs (Q5, Q6, and Q7) are only guaranteed up to 160MHz.
Measured with 25MHz crystal (with OSC_IN left open).
Measured with 25MHz reference clock applied to OSC_IN.
Measured at 125MHz output with 40mV

Parameter calculated based on PSNR.
Measurement includes XTAL oscillator feedthrough, crosstalk, intermodulation spurs, etc.
Measured with 25MHz XTAL oscillator.
