Programmable Clock Generator

Description

Montage Technology has launched a series of programmable clock generator chips capable of producing any output frequency between 1MHz and 333.33MHz. Leveraging Montage's advanced I/O technology, this series offers excellent jitter performance and provide a wide range of clock frequencies for low phase noise spread-spectrum applications. These chips provide 1, 2 or 4 pairs of differential clock outputs with independently configurable output characteristics. All differential clock outputs are compliant with PCIe Gen1/2/3/4/5/6 common clock and separate clock architecture specifications, meeting the high-performance requirements of existing and next-generation of PCIe devices.

With their independently configurable clock outputs and ultra-low phase jitter performance, the devices can satisfy the demanding input reference clock needs of high-performance applications, including PCIe Gen5/6, 100G Ethernet, USB3.x, WiFi6 and more.
