MAX3697A/MAX3698A
General Description
The MAX3697A/MAX3698A are low-jitter precision clock
generators optimized for network applications. The
devices integrate 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 MAX3697A/MAX3698A contain five LVDS outputs
and four LVCMOS outputs. The MAX3697A has a
selectable output feature on channel Q0 that allows
selection between 125MHz or 156.25MHz.

A series resistor of up to 10.5Ω is allowed between VDD and VDDA for filtering supply noise when system power-supply tolerance is VDD = 3.3V ±5%. See Figure 5.
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.
Q5, Q6, and Q7 measured with a series resistor of 33Ω to a load capacitance of 3.0pF. Q8 is measured with a series resistor of 50Ω to a load capacitance of 15pF. See Figure 2.
The OSC_IN input can be DC- or AC-coupled.
Must be within the absolute maximum rating of VDD + 0.3V.
Measured with 25MHz crystal (with OSC_IN left open).
Measured with 25MHz signal applied to OSC_IN.
Measured at 125MHz output with 40mVP-P sinusoidal signal on the supply at 100kHz. Measured with network in Figure 5.
Parameter calculated based on PSNR.
Measurement includes XTAL oscillator feedthrough, crosstalk, intermodulation spurs, etc.
Measured with 25MHz XTAL oscillator.

+3.3V, Low-Jitter, Precision Clock
Generator with Multiple Outputs
The MAX3697A/MAX3698A are frequency generators
designed to operate at Ethernet frequencies. They consist of an on-chip crystal oscillator, PLL, LVCMOS output buffers, and LVDS output buffers. Using a
low-frequency clock (crystal or CMOS input) as a reference, the internal PLL generates a high-frequency output clock with excellent jitter performance. The
MAX3697A comes with a selector pin (FSEL) that allows
the Q0 output to be switched between 125MHz and
156.25MHz.
Crystal Oscillator
An integrated oscillator provides the low-frequency reference clock for the PLL. This oscillator requires an
external crystal connected between X_IN and X_OUT.
The crystal frequency is 25MHz.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Filtering
The MAX3697A/MAX3698A are mixed analog/digital
ICs. The PLL contains analog circuitry susceptible to
random noise. To take full advantage of on-board filtering and noise attenuation, in addition to excellent onchip power-supply rejection, these parts provide a
separate power-supply pin, VDDA, for the VCO circuitry.
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. Figure 5
illustrates the recommended power-supply filter network for VDDA. This network requires that the power
supply is +3.3V ±5%. Decoupling capacitors should be
used on all other supply pins for best performance.
OSC_IN Buffer
The LVCMOS OSC_IN buffer is internally biased to
allow AC- or DC-coupling. This input is internally ACcoupled, and is designed to operate at 25MHz when
the PLL is enabled (PLL_BP is left open). When the PLL
is bypassed (PLL_BP is set low), the OSC_IN buffer can
be operated from 20MHz to 320MHz.

PLL
The PLL takes the signal from the crystal oscillator or
reference clock input and synthesizes a low-jitter, highfrequency clock. The PLL contains a phase-frequency
detector (PFD), a lowpass filter, and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that operates at 625MHz. The
VCO output is connected to the PFD input through a
feedback divider that divides the VCO frequency by 25
to lock onto the 25MHz reference clock or oscillator.
With the VCO locked onto the input reference, a stable
125MHz output clock is provided through a final output
divider. The MAX3697A includes an extra control pin
(FSEL) that selects either 125MHz or 156.25MHz output
frequency at Q0. To minimize noise-induced jitter, the
VCO supply (VDDA) is isolated from the core logic and
output buffer supplies.
LVDS Drivers
The high-frequency outputs—Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4—
are differential LVDS buffers designed to drive 100Ω.
LVCMOS Driver
LVCMOS outputs Q5, Q6, Q7, and Q8 are provided on
the MAX3697A/MAX3698A. They are designed to drive
single-ended high-impedance loads. The maximum
data rate for Q5, Q6, and Q7 is 160MHz. Q8 output frequency is equal to the frequency of Q5, Q6, or Q7
divided by 32.

Crystal Input Layout and Frequency
Stability
The MAX3697A/MAX3698A feature an integrated onchip crystal oscillator to minimize system implementation cost. The integrated crystal oscillator is a
Pierce-type that uses the crystal in its parallel resonance mode. It is recommended to use a 25MHz crystal with a load specification of CL = 18pF. See Table 1
for the recommended crystal specifications.
The crystal, trace, and two external capacitors should
be placed on the board as close as possible to the
X_IN and X_OUT pins to reduce crosstalk and active
signals into the oscillator.
The layout shown in Figure 6 gives approximately 2pF
of trace plus footprint capacitors per side of the crystal
(Y1). The dielectric material is FR-4 and dielectric thickness of the reference board is 15 mils. Using a 25MHz
crystal and the capacitor values of C45 = 27pF and
C46 = 33pF, the measured output frequency accuracy
is -1ppm at +25°C ambient temperature.

close to the supply pins, preferably on the same
layer as the MAX3697A/MAX3698A.

• Take care to isolate crystal input traces from the
MAX3697A/MAX3698A outputs.
• The crystal, trace, and two external capacitors

• Ground pin vias should be placed close to the IC

receive devices.

• Maintain 100Ω differential (or 50Ω single-ended)
transmission line impedance into and out of the
part.
• Use good high-frequency layout techniques and
multilayer boards with an uninterrupted ground

STRUCTURES
The exposed pad on the 32-pin TQFN package provides a very low inductance path for return current traveling to the PCB ground plane. The pad is also
electrical ground on the MAX3697A/MAX3698A and

electrical performance.

Layout Considerations
The inputs and outputs are the most critical paths for
the MAX3697A/MAX3698A and great care should be
taken to minimize discontinuities on these transmission
lines between the connector and the IC. Here are some
suggestions for maximizing the performance of the
MAX3697A/MAX3698A:
• An uninterrupted ground plane should be positioned beneath the clock outputs. The ground
