+3.3V, Low-Jitter, Precision Clock
Generator with Multiple Outputs
General Description
The MAX3677 is a low-jitter, precision clock generator
optimized for network applications. The device integrates
a crystal oscillator and a phase-locked loop (PLL) to
generate high-frequency clock outputs for Ethernet
applications.
This proprietary PLL design features ultra-low jitter
(0.4psRMS) and excellent power-supply noise rejection
(PSNR), minimizing design risk for network equipment.
The MAX3677 contains seven LVDS outputs and one
LVCMOS output. The output frequency is 125MHz.

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.
Measured with 25MHz crystal (with OSC_IN left open).
Measured with 25MHz reference clock applied to OSC_IN.
Measured at 125MHz output with 40mV
