GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9523-1 provides a low power, multi-output, clock
distribution function with low jitter performance, along with an
on-chip PLL and VCO with two VCO dividers. The on-chip VCO
tunes from 2.94 GHz to 3.1 GHz.
The AD9523-1 is defined to support the clock requirements for
long term evolution (LTE) and multicarrier GSM base station
designs. It relies on an external VCXO to provide the reference
jitter cleanup to achieve the restrictive low phase noise requirements necessary for acceptable data converter SNR performance.
The input receivers, oscillator, and zero delay receiver provide
both single-ended and differential operation. When connected
to a recovered system reference clock and a VCXO, the device
generates 14 low noise outputs with a range of 1 MHz to 1 GHz,
and one dedicated buffered output from the input PLL (PLL1).
The frequency and phase of one clock output relative to another
clock output can be varied by means of a divider phase select
function that serves as a jitter-free, coarse timing adjustment
in increments that are equal to half the period of the signal
coming out of the VCO.
An in-package EEPROM can be programmed through the serial
interface to store user-defined register settings for power-up
and chip reset.

may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
