3 Description

The LMX1404-EP is an buffer, divider and multiplier

that features high frequency, ultra-low jitter, and

SYSREF outputs. This device combined with an ultralow

noise reference clock source is an exemplary

design for clocking data converters, especially when

sampling above 3GHz. Each of the 4 high frequency

clock outputs and additional LOGICLK output is

paired with a SYSREF output clock signal. The

SYSREF signal for JESD interfaces can either be

internally generated or passed in as an input and

re-clocked to the device clocks. This device can

distribute the multichannel, low skew, ultra-low noise

local oscillator signals to multiple mixers by disabling

the SYSREF outputs.
