General Description
The MAX9489 clock generator provides multiple clock
outputs, ideal for network routers. The MAX9489 provides 15 buffered clock outputs, each independently
programmable to any of 10 individual frequencies:
133MHz, 125MHz, 100MHz, 83MHz, 80MHz, 66MHz,
62.5MHz, 50MHz, 33MHz, or 25MHz. All of the outputs
are single-ended LVCMOS. The MAX9489 is controlled
through its I2C™ interface.
At power-up, the frequency of output CLK1 is set by the
tri-level input SEL to 100MHz, 125MHz, or 133MHz,
while all other outputs are logic low. All outputs are then
programmable to any available frequency through the
I2C interface. Additionally, all output frequencies are
adjustable up or down, by a margin of 5% or 10%,
through the I
2
C interface.
The MAX9489 requires a 25MHz reference that can be
either a crystal or an external clock signal. The
MAX9489 requires a +3.0V to +3.6V power supply and
is available in a 32-pin thin QFN package with an
exposed pad for heat removal.
