MAX9491
Factory Programmable Single PLL
Clock Generator
6 _______________________________________________________________________________________
Detailed Description
The MAX9491 features a programmable fractional-N
PLL, so frequencies between 4MHz to 200MHz can be
generated. The device provides a buffered PLL clock
output. The crystal input frequency can be between
5MHz and 35MHz, and the clock input between 5MHz
and 50MHz. The internal VCXO has a fine-tuning range
of ±200ppm.
Power-Down
Driving PD low places the MAX9491 in power-down
mode. PD then sets CLK_OUT to high impedance and
shuts down the PLL. CLK_OUT has an 80k
Ω (typ) inter-
nal pulldown resistor.
Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator
(VCXO)
The MAX9491’s internal VCXO produces a reference
clock for the PLL used to generate the CLK_OUT. The
oscillator uses a crystal as the base frequency refer-
ence and has a voltage-controlled tuning input for micro
adjustment in a ±200ppm range. The tuning voltage,
V
TUNE
, can vary from 0 to 3V as shown in Figure 1. The
crystal should be AT-cut and oscillate on its fundamen-
tal mode with ±30ppm. The crystal shunt capacitor
