Low-Jitter, Wide Frequency Range,
Programmable Clock Generator with 10 Outputs
The MAX3638 is a highly flexible, precision phaselocked loop (PLL) clock generator optimized for the next
generation of network equipment that demands low-jitter
clock generation and distribution for robust high-speed
data transmission. The device features subpicosecond
jitter generation, excellent power-supply noise rejection,
and pin-programmable LVDS/LVPECL output interfaces.
The MAX3638 provides nine differential outputs and
one LVCMOS output, divided into three banks. The frequency and output interface of each output bank can be
individually programmed, making this device an ideal
replacement for multiple crystal oscillators and clock distribution ICs on a system board, saving cost and space.
This 3.3V IC is available in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin TQFN
package and operates from -40°C to +85°C.

Note 1: A series resistor of up to 10.5I is allowed between VCC and VCCA for filtering supply noise when system power-supply
tolerance is VCC = 3.3V Q5%. See Figure 3.
Note 2: Measured with all outputs enabled and unloaded.
Note 3: CIN can be AC- or DC-coupled. See Figure 8. Input high voltage must be ≤ VCC + 0.3V.
Note 4: DIN can be AC- or DC-coupled. See Figure 10.
Note 5: Measured with 100I differential load.
Note 6: Measured with crystal input, or with 50% duty cycle LVCMOS or differential input.
Note 7: Measured with output termination of 50I to VCC - 2V or Thevenin equivalent.
Note 8: Measured with a series resistor of 33I to a load capacitance of 3.0pF. See Figure 1.
Note 9: Measured at 125MHz output.
Note 10: Measured using LVCMOS/LVTTL input with slew rate R 1.0V/ns, or differential input with slew rate R 0.5V/ns.
Note 11: Measured at 125MHz output with 200kHz, 50mVP-P sinusoidal signal on the supply using the crystal input and the
power-supply filter shown in Figure 3. See the Typical Operating Characteristics for other supply noise frequencies. Deterministic jitter is calculated from the measured power-supply-induced spurs. For more information, refer to
Application Note 4461: HFAN-04.5.5: Characterizing Power-Supply Noise Rejection in PLL Clock Synthesizers.
Note 12: Measured with all outputs enabled and all three banks at different frequencies.

Crystal Oscillator
The on-chip crystal oscillator provides the low-frequency
reference clock for the PLL. This oscillator requires an
external crystal connected between XIN and XOUT.
See the Crystal Selection and Layout section for more
information. The XIN and XOUT pins can be left open if
not used.
LVCMOS Clock Input
An LVCMOS-compatible clock source can be connected
to CIN to serve as the PLL reference clock. The input is
internally biased to allow AC- or DC-coupling (see the
Applications Information section). It is designed to operate from 15MHz to 160MHz. No signal should be applied
to CIN if not used.
Differential Clock Input
A differential clock source can be connected to DIN
to serve as the PLL reference clock. This input operates from 15MHz to 350MHz and contains an internal
100ω differential termination. This input can accept
DC-coupled LVPECL signals, and is internally biased to
accept AC-coupled LVDS, CML, and LVPECL signals
(see the Applications Information section). No signal
should be applied to DIN if not used.
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The PLL takes the signal from the crystal oscillator,
LVCMOS clock input, or differential clock input and
synthesizes a low-jitter, high-frequency clock. The PLL
contains a phase-frequency detector (PFD), a charge
pump (CP), and a low phase noise VCO with a wide
3.83GHz to 4.025GHz frequency range. The high-frequency VCO output is divided by prescale divider P and
then is connected to the PFD input through a feedback
divider. The PFD compares the reference frequency to
the divided-down VCO output and generates a control
signal that keeps the VCO locked to the reference clock.
The high-frequency VCO/P output clock is sent to the
output dividers. To minimize noise-induced jitter, the
VCO supply (VCCA) is isolated from the core logic and
output buffer supplies.
Dividers and Muxes
The dividers and muxes are set with three-level control
inputs. Divider settings and routing information are given
in Tables 1 to 7. See Table 11 for example divider configurations used in various applications.

LVDS/LVPECL Clock Outputs
The differential clock outputs (QA[4:0], QB[2:0], QC)
operate up to 800MHz and have a pin-programmable
LVDS/LVPECL output interface. See Tables 8 to 10.
When configured as LVDS, the buffers are designed
to drive transmission lines with a 100ω differential termination. When configured as LVPECL, the buffers are
designed to drive transmission lines terminated with 50ω
to VCC - 2V. Unused output banks can be disabled to
high impedance and unused outputs can be left open.
LVCMOS Clock Output
The LVCMOS clock output operates up to 160MHz and is
designed to drive a single-ended high-impedance load.
If unused, this output can be left open or the C-bank can
be disabled to high impedance.
Low-Jitter, Wide Frequency Range,
Programmable Clock Generator with 10 Outputs
The prescale divider P is set by DP as given in Table 7.
In addition, the reference clock frequency and input
divider M must also be selected so the PFD compare
frequency (fPFD) falls within the specified range of
15MHz to 42MHz. If applicable, the higher fPFD should
be selected for optimal jitter performance.
Applications Information
Output Frequency Configuration
The MAX3638 output frequencies (fQA, fQB, fQC) are
functions of the reference frequency (fREF) and the pinprogrammable dividers (A, B, C, F, M). The relationships
can be expressed as:
f
F
fQA = REF ×
M
A
(1)
f
F
fQB = REF ×
M
B
(2)
f
F
fQC = REF ×
M
C
(3)
The frequency ranges for the selected reference clocks
are 18MHz to 33.5MHz for the crystal oscillator input,
15MHz to 160MHz for the LVCMOS input, and 15MHz to
350MHz for the differential input. The available dividers
are given in Tables 3 to 6.
For a given reference frequency fREF, the input divider
M, the PLL feedback divider F, and VCO prescale divider
P must be configured so the VCO frequency (fVCO) falls
within the specified ranges. Invalid PLL configuration
leads to VCO frequencies beyond the specified ranges
and can result in loss of lock. An expression for the VCO
frequency along with the specified ranges is given by:
f
fVCO = REF × F × P
M
(4)
3830MHz ≤ fVCO ≤ 4025MHz (5)
f
f
fPFD = REF = VCO
M
P ×F
(6)
15MHz ≤ fPFD ≤ 42MHz (7)
Note that the reference clock frequency is not limited by
the fPFD range when the PLL is in bypass mode.
Example Frequency Configuration
The following is an example of how to find divider ratios
for a valid PLL configuration, given a requirement of
input and output frequencies.
1) S
elect input and output frequencies for system clocking.
fREF = 25MHz
fQA = 125MHz
fQB = 100MHz
fQC = 66.67MHz
2) F
ind the input divider M for a valid PFD compare
frequency. Using Table 3 and equations (6) and (7),
it is determined that M = ÷1 is the only valid option.
3) F
ind the feedback divider F and prescale divider P for
a valid fVCO. Using Tables 4 and 7 along with equations (4) and (5), it is determined that F = ÷40 and
P = ÷4 results in fVCO = 4000MHz, which is within the
valid range of the VCO.
4) F
ind the output dividers A, B, C for the required output
frequencies. Using Tables 5 and 6 and equations (1),
(2), and (3), it is determined that A = ÷8 gives fQA =
125MHz, B = ÷10 gives fQB = 100MHz, and C = ÷15
gives fQC = 66.67MHz.
Table 11 provides input and output frequencies along
with valid divider ratios for a variety of applications.

MAX3638
Internal Reset
During power-on, a power-on reset (POR) signal is generated to synchronize all dividers. A reset signal is also
generated if any control pin is changed. Outputs within a
bank are phase aligned, but outputs bank-to-bank may
not be phase aligned.

Ground Connection
The 48-pin TQFN package features an exposed pad
(EP), which provides a low resistance thermal path for
heat removal from the IC and also the electrical ground.
For proper operation, the EP must be connected to the
circuit board ground plane with multiple vias.
Crystal Selection and Layout
The MAX3638 features an integrated on-chip crystal
oscillator to minimize system implementation cost. The
crystal oscillator is designed to drive a fundamental
mode, AT-cut crystal resonator. See Table 12 for recommended crystal specifications. See Figure 4 for the crystal equivalent circuit and Figure 5 for the recommended
external capacitor connections. The crystal, trace, and
two external capacitors should be placed on the board
as close as possible to the XIN and XOUT pins to reduce
crosstalk of active signals into the oscillator. The total
load capacitance for the crystal is a combination of
external and on-chip capacitance. The layout shown
in Figure 6 gives approximately 1.7pF of trace plus
footprint capacitance per side of the crystal. Note the
ground plane is removed under the crystal to minimize
capacitance. There is approximately 2.5pF of on-chip
capacitance between XIN and XOUT. With an external
27pF capacitor connected to XIN and a 33pF external
capacitor connected to XOUT, the total load capacitance
for the crystal is approximately 18pF. The XIN and XOUT
pins can be left open if not used.

Power-Supply Filtering
The MAX3638 is a mixed analog/digital IC. The PLL
contains analog circuitry susceptible to random noise.
To take full advantage of on-board filtering and noise
attenuation, in addition to excellent on-chip power-supply rejection, this part provides a separate power-supply
pin, VCCA, for the VCO circuitry. Figure 3 illustrates the
recommended power-supply filter network for VCCA.
The purpose of this design technique is to ensure clean
input power supply to the VCO circuitry and to improve
the overall immunity to power-supply noise. This network requires that the power supply is +3.3V ±5%.
Decoupling capacitors should be used on all other supply pins for best performance. All supply connections
should be driven from the same source.

Interfacing with LVCMOS Input
The equivalent LVCMOS input circuit for CIN is given in

Interfacing with Differential Input
The equivalent input circuit for DIN is given in Figure 9.
This input operates up to 350MHz and contains an
internal 100I differential termination as well as a 35I
common-mode termination. The common-mode termination ensures good signal integrity when connected to a
source with large common-mode signals. The input can
accept DC-coupled LVPECL signals, and is internally
biased to accept AC-coupled LVDS, CML, and LVPECL
signals (Figure 10). No signal should be applied to DIN

Layout Considerations
• T
he crystal, trace, and two external capacitors should
be placed on the board as close as possible to the
XIN and XOUT pins to reduce crosstalk of active signals into the oscillator.
The inputs and outputs are the most critical paths for
the MAX3638; great care should be taken to minimize
discontinuities on the transmission lines. Here are some
suggestions for maximizing the performance of the
MAX3638:
• M
aintain 100ω differential (or 50ω single-ended) transmission line impedance into and out of the part.
• A
n uninterrupted ground plane should be positioned
beneath the clock outputs. The ground plane under
the crystal should be removed to minimize capacitance.
• P
rovide space between differential output pairs to
reduce crosstalk, especially if the outputs are operating at different frequencies.
• U
se multilayer boards with an uninterrupted ground
plane to minimize EMI and crosstalk.
• S
upply decoupling capacitors should be placed close
to the supply pins, preferably on the same side of the
board as the MAX3638.
Refer to the MAX3638 evaluation kit for more information.
