MAXIM MAX3610

19-3286; Rev 0; 5/04
Low-Jitter 106.25MHz/212.5MHz Fibre-Channel
Clock Generator
The MAX3610 is a low-jitter, high-performance, dual-rate
clock generator optimized for 1Gbps/2Gbps/4Gbps
Fibre-Channel applications. When connected with an
external AT-cut crystal, the device generates a precision
clock output by integrating a crystal oscillator with
Maxim’s low-noise phase-locked loop (PLL) providing a
low-cost solution. By coupling Maxim’s low-noise PLL
design featuring a low-jitter generation VCO with an
inexpensive fundamental mode crystal, the MAX3610
provides the optimum combination of low cost, flexibility,
and high performance.
The MAX3610 output frequency is selectable. When
using a 26.5625MHz crystal, the output clock rate can
be set to either 106.25MHz or 212.5MHz. When operating at 106.25MHz, the typical phase jitter is 0.7psRMS
from 12kHz to 20MHz. The MAX3610A has low-voltage
positive-emitter-coupled logic (LVPECL) clock output
drivers. The MAX3610B has low-voltage differential-signal (LVDS) clock output drivers. The MAX3610 output
drivers can also be disabled.
The MAX3610 operates from a single +3.3V supply.
The PECL version typically consumes 165mW, while the
LVDS version typically consumes 174mW. Both devices
are available in die form and have a 0°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX3610 contains all of the blocks needed to form a
precision Fibre-Channel clock except for the external
crystal, which must be supplied separately. Figure 2
shows a functional block diagram of the MAX3610. The
MAX3610 consists of a crystal oscillator, a low-noise PLL,
selectable clock-divider circuitry, and an output buffer.
Optimal performance is achieved by integrating the
crystal oscillator with a low-noise PLL. The PLL consists
of a digital phase/frequency detector (PFD) and low-jitter generation VCO. The VCO signal is scaled by clockdivider circuitry and applied to the output buffer. The
MAX3610 is available with either LVPECL or LVDS output buffers (see the Ordering Information).
Oscillator Gain Circuit
The input capacitance of the oscillator gain circuit is
trimmed to 12pF of capacitance and produces oscillations at 26.5625MHz when interfaced with the appropriate external crystal (see Table 1 for the external crystal
specifications).
PLL
The PLL generates a 1.7GHz high-speed clock signal
based on the 26.5625MHz crystal oscillator output.
Clock-divider circuit M generates the output clock by
scaling the VCO output frequency. Clock-divider circuit
N applies a scaled version of the output clock signal to
the PFD. A TTL low applied to FREQSET, sets clockdivider M ratio to 16, and clock-divider N ratio to 8. With
FREQSET pulled low, the output clock rate is
212.5MHz. A TTL high applied to FREQSET sets the
clock-divider M ratio to 32, and clock-divider N ratio to
4. With FREQSET pulled high, the output clock rate is
106.25MHz.
Output Drivers
The MAX3610 is available with either LVPECL
(MAX3610A) or LVDS (MAX3610B) output buffers.
When not needed, the output buffers can be disabled.
When disabled, the LVPECL output buffer goes to a
high-impedance state. However, the LVDS outputs go
to a differential 1 (OUT+ latched high and OUT- latched
low) when the outputs are disabled.
