SNAU299 January 2024 LMX1214
The high-frequency capability and extremely low jitter of this device makes a great design to clock precision, high-frequency data converters without degradation to the signal-to-noise ratio. LMX1214 contains four high-frequency clock outputs and an additional AUXCLK output with a larger divider range than all clock outputs. Having the jitter of the clock be less than the aperture jitter of the data converter is critical. In applications where more than four data converters must be clocked, a variety of cascading architectures can be developed using multiple devices to distribute all the high-frequency clocks required. With low jitter and noise floor, this device combined with an ultra-low noise reference clock source is an exemplary design for clocking data converters, especially when sampling above 3GHz.
