It consists of an onchip crystal oscillator, PLL, programmable dividers, LVCMOS output buffer, and LVPECL 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. 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. Crystal frequency is 25MHz. REF_IN Buffer An LVCMOS-compatible clock source can be connected to REF_IN to serve as the reference clock. The LVCMOS REF_IN buffer is internally biased to allow AC- or DC-coupling. It is designed to operate up 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 625MHz voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO). The VCO output is connected to the PFD input through a feedback divider. The PFD compares the reference frequency to the divideddown VCO output (fVCO/25) and generates a control signal that keeps the VCO locked to the reference clock. The high-frequency VCO 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. LVCMOS Driver QA_C, the LVCMOS output, is designed to drive a single-ended high-impedance load. The maximum operating frequency is specified up to 160MHz. This output can be disabled by the QAC_OE pin if not used and goes to a high impedance when disabled. Reset Logic/POR During power-on, the power-on reset (POR) signal is generated to synchronize all dividers. An external master reset (MR) signal is not required. Applications Information Power-Supply Filtering The MAX3679A is a mixed analog/digital IC. The PLL contains analog circuitry susceptible to random noise. In addition to excellent on-chip power-supply noise rejection, the MAX3679A provides a separate powersupply pin, VCCA, for the VCO circuitry. Figure 2 illustrates the recommended power-supply filter network for V CCA . 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. Output Divider Configuration Table 2 shows the input settings required to set the output dividers. Leakage in the OPEN case must be less than 1µA. Note that when the MAX3679A is in bypass mode (BYPASS set low), the output dividers are automatically set to divide by 1. Output Dividers The output divider is programmable to allow a range of output frequencies. See Table 2 for the divider input settings. The output dividers are automatically set to divide by 1 when the MAX3679A is in bypass mode (BYPASS = 0). +3.3V ±5% VCC 0.1μF 10.5Ω VCCA LVPECL Drivers The high-frequency outputs—QA, QB0, and QB1—are differential PECL buffers designed to drive transmission lines terminated with 50Ω to VCC - 2.0V. The maximum operating frequency is specified up to 320MHz. Each output can be individually disabled, if not used. The outputs go to a logic 0 when disabled. 0.1μF 10μF Figure 2.

Crystal Layout Crystal Selection The crystal oscillator is designed to drive a fundamental mode, AT-cut crystal resonator. See Table 3 for recommended crystal specifications. See Figure 4 for external capacitance connection. 8 The crystal, trace, and two external capacitors should be placed on the board as close as possible to the MAX3679A’s X_IN and X_OUT pins to reduce crosstalk of active signals into the oscillator. The layout shown in Figure 3 gives approximately 3pF of trace plus footprint capacitors per side of the crystal (Y1). The dielectric material is FR4 and dielectric thickness of the reference board is 15 mils. Using a 25MHz crystal and the capacitor values of C22 = 27pF and C23 = 33pF, the measured output frequency accuracy is -14ppm at +25°C ambient temperature. _______________________________________________________________________________________ +3.3V, Low-Jitter Crystal to LVPECL Clock Generator Interface Models +3.3V 130Ω termination methods can be used such as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

Here are some suggestions for maximizing the MAX3679A’s performance: • An uninterrupted ground plane should be positioned beneath the clock I/Os. • Ground pin vias should be placed close to the IC and the input/output interfaces to allow a return current path to the MAX3679A and the receive devices. • Supply decoupling capacitors should be placed close to the MAX3679A supply pins. • Maintain 100Ω differential (or 50Ω single-ended) transmission line impedance out of the MAX3679A. • Use good high-frequency layout techniques and a multilayer board with an uninterrupted ground plane to minimize EMI and crosstalk.
