Integrated Device Technology FemtoClock Multi-Rate 3.3V,2.5V LVPECL Frequency Synthesizer 843034CYLFT

The 843034 is a general purpose, low phase noise LVPECL synthesizer which can generate frequencies for a wide variety of applications. The 843034 has a 4:1 input Multiplexer from which the following inputs can be selected: one differential input, one single-ended input, or two crystal oscillators, thus making the device ideal for frequency translation or frequency generation. Each differential LVPECL output pair has an output divider which can be independently set so that two different frequencies can be generated. Additionally, each LVPECL output pair has a dedicated power supply pin so the outputs can run at 3.3V or 2.5V. The 843034 also supplies a buffered copy of the reference clock or crystal frequency on the single-ended REF_CLK output pin which can be enabled or disabled (disabled by default). The output frequency can be programmed using either a serial or parallel programming interface. The phase jitter of the 843034 is less than 1ps rms, making it suitable for use in Fibre Channel, SONET , and Ethernet applications. Example applications include systems which must support both FEC and non FEC rates. In 10Gb Fibre Channel, for example, you can use a 25.5MHz crystal to generate a 159.375MHz reference clock, and then switch to a 20.544MHz crystal to generate 164.355MHz for 66/64 FEC . Other applications could include supporting both Ethernet frequencies and SONET frequencies in an application. When Ethernet frequencies are needed, a 25MHz crystal can be used and when SONET frequencies are needed, the input MUX can be switched to select a 38.88MHz crystal.
