Low-Jitter, Precision Clock
Generator with Three Outputs
General Description
The MAX3625B is a low-jitter, precision clock generator
optimized for networking applications. The device inte-
grates a crystal oscillator and a phase-locked loop (PLL)
clock multiplier to generate high-frequency clock outputs
for Ethernet, 10G Fibre Channel, and other networking
applications.
This proprietary PLL design features ultra-low jitter and
excellent power-supply noise rejection, minimizing design
risk for network equipment.
The MAX3625B has three LVPECL outputs. Selectable
output dividers and a selectable feedback divider allow a
range of output frequencies.

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.
