General Description
The MAX3673 is a low-jitter frequency synthesizer that
accepts two reference clock inputs and generates nine
phase-aligned outputs. The device features 40kHz jitter
transfer bandwidth, 0.3ps
RMS
(12kHz to 20MHz) inte-
grated phase jitter, and best-in-class power-supply
noise rejection (PSNR), making it ideal for jitter clean-
up, frequency translation, and clock distribution in wire-
less base-station applications.
The MAX3673 operates from a single +3.3V supply and
typically consumes 400mW. The IC is available in an
8mm x 8mm, 56-pin TQFN package, and operates from
-40°C to +85°C.
Applications
