MAX3679
The MAX3679 is a low-jitter precision clock generator
with the integration of three LVPECL and one LVCMOS
outputs optimized for Ethernet applications. The device
integrates a crystal oscillator and a phase-locked loop
(PLL) clock multiplier to generate high-frequency clock
outputs for Ethernet applications.
Maxim’s proprietary PLL design features ultra-low jitter
(0.36ps
RMS
) and excellent power-supply noise rejection,
minimizing design risk for network equipment.

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.
