Analog Devices AD9540 655 MHz Low Jitter Clock Generator Datasheet
The AD9540 clock generator is designed for high‑performance data‑converter and networking applications, providing a 655 MHz CML‑mode, PECL‑compliant output driver with programmable slew rates. It supports external VCO frequencies up to 2.7 GHz and features a flexible 200 MHz phase‑frequency detector, programmable charge‑pump current, and a 25 Mb/s serial I/O interface.
Key specifications include ultra‑low jitter (720 fs rms for a 105 MHz ADC clock), wide‑range programmable input dividers (M,N = 1‑16), RF divider options (R = 1, 2, 4, 8), and a total power consumption of 400 mW. The device operates over an extended automotive temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C and is supplied in a 48‑lead LFCSP package.
