August 5, 2004 Sunnyvale, CA --Maxim Integrated Products has introduced its MAX9489, a clock generator that addresses the timing requirements for network/edge routers, telecom/networking equipment, and data-storage systems. According to the company, the device features multi-output capability, high performance, low jitter, and low output-to-output skew.
The MAX9489 generates fifteen buffered LVTTL outputs with independent frequency selections. Through an integrated I(2)C interface, each output can be set to any of the ten independent, selectable frequencies of 133 MHz, 125 MHz 100 MHz, 83 MHz, 80 MHz, 66 MHz, 62.5 MHz, 50 MHz, 33 MHz, and 25MHz. To perform system overdrive and underdrive testing, the device also offers a selectable output-frequency margin of ±5% to ±10%.
The MAX9489 operates from a 3.3-V single supply and a 25-MHz crystal or reference clock. The device is offered in a small-footprint, 5-mm x 5-mm 32-pin QFN package, and operates over the extended temperature range (-40 ° C to +85 ° C). Prices start at $6.77 in quantities of 1,000.
