DS4106/DS4212/DS4425
106.25MHz/212.5MHz/425MHz
Clock Oscillators
Rev 0; 7/07
General Description
The DS4106, DS4212, and DS4425 ceramic surfacemount crystal oscillators are part of Maxim’s DS4-XO
series crystal oscillators family. These devices offer output frequencies at 106.25MHz, 212.5MHz, and 425MHz.
The clock oscillators are suited for systems with tight tolerances because of the jitter, phase noise, and stability
performance. The small package provides a format
made for applications where PCB space is critical.
These clock oscillators are crystal based and use a fundamental crystal with PLL technology to provide the
final output frequencies. Each device is offered with
LVDS or LVPECL output types. The output enable pin is
active-high logic.
These clock oscillators have very low phase jitter and
phase noise. Typical phase jitter is < 0.9psRMS from
12kHz to 20MHz. The devices are designed to operate
with a 3.3V ±5% supply voltage, and are available in a
5.0mm x 3.2mm x 1.49mm, 10-pin LCCC surface-mount
ceramic package.

Pin Description
Detailed Description
The DS4106/DS4212/DS4425 combine a crystal and an
IC to form a precision clock. Figure 1 shows a functional diagram of the devices. The IC consists of a crystal
oscillator, a low-noise PLL, selectable clock-divider circuitry, and an output buffer. The PLL consists of a digital phase/frequency detector (PFD) and low-jitter
generation VCO. The VCO signal is scaled by a clockdivider circuit and applied to the output buffer.
Output Drivers
All devices are available with either LVPECL
(DS4106A/DS4212A/DS4425A) or LVDS (DS4106B/
DS4212B/DS4425B) output buffers. When not needed,
the output buffers can be disabled. When disabled, the
LVPECL output buffer goes to a high-impedance state.
However, the LVDS outputs go to a differential logic
one (OUTP latched high and OUTN latched low) when
the outputs are disabled.
Additional Information
