The MAX31C80/MAX31D80 are spread-spectrum clock
generators that contain a phase-locked loop (PLL)
that generates a 2MHz to 134MHz clock from an input
clock or crystal. The PLL can provide a spread-spectrum down-dithered (MAX31D80) or center-dithered
(MAX31C80) frequency-modulated clock. The devices
also buffer the incoming clock and provide this output
on a separate pin.
The MAX31C80/MAX31D80 are provided in a 10-pin
TDFN package and operate over a full -40NC to +125NC
automotive temperature range. Devices can be factory
programmed for multiple combinations of input and output frequencies (see the Ordering Information table). A
low-cost, low-frequency crystal can be used at the input
to generate frequencies up to 134MHz.
xxx = Factory-programmable output frequency and dither rate (see the Selector Guide table).

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Crystal Drive/Clock Input. A crystal with
the proper loading is connected across
1X1
X1 and X2. Instead of a crystal, a clock
can be applied at the X1 input. If no
clock or crystal is present, then no clock
is output at either XOUT or CLKOUT.

down and center dither, respectively.

Clock Output. Spread-spectrum-capable
digital output clock from the PLL.
Crystal Buffered Output. Buffered digital
output of the input crystal or clock.
Crystal Drive Output. A crystal with the
10X2
proper loading is connected across X1
and X2. If a clock is applied at the X1
input, then X2 should be left open circuit.
The MAX31C80/MAX31D80 modulate an input clock to
generate a center-dithered or down-dithered spreadspectrum output. An 8MHz to 27MHz crystal or 8MHz
to 134MHz oscillator input is applied to the device. An
internal PLL dithers the output clock at a user-selectable magnitude to produce a down-dithered or centerdithered output clock. The output clock’s frequency is
programmable from 2MHz to 134MHz. The devices also
buffer the incoming clock and provide this output on a
separate pin.
Spread-Spectrum Dither Magnitude
The MAX31D80 can generate down-dithered magnitudes
up to -3%. The MAX31C80 can generate center-dithered
magnitudes up to P 1.5%. The desired magnitude is
selected using the input pins SMSEL1 and SMSEL0 as
shown in Tables 1 and 2. A power cycle is required after
each change of the dither magnitude for the changes to
take effect.

Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve best results, it is highly recommended that a
decoupling capacitor be used on the IC power-supply
pins. Typical values of decoupling capacitors are 0.01FF
and 0.1FF. Use a high-quality, ceramic, surface-mount
capacitor and mount it as close as possible to the VCC
pins of the IC to minimize lead inductance.
