PL904xxx
Revision 1.0
General Description
Features
The PL904xxx series is a small form-factor, high
performance, programmable device and a member of
Micrel’s JitterBlocker factory programmable jitter
attenuators. The JitterBlocker product family cleans
deterministic jitter by attenuating spurious components in
the phase noise, thereby improving the phase jitter and the
overall phase noise. The PL904xxx is capable of reducing
multiple pico seconds of phase jitter in a clock to a level
below 0.5psRMS in most cases, making that clock usable
for many more applications.
•
•
•
•
The PL904xxx operates on a single 2.5V or 3.3V supply
and is housed in a small QFN package for a broad range
of applications.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Input clock frequencies up to 250MHz can be filtered and
frequency translation allows for output clock frequencies
up to 850MHz. The input clock can be single-ended or
differential.
Datasheets and support documentation are available on
Micrel’s web site at: www.micrel.com.

Functional Description
The PL904xxx series is a very flexible, advanced programmable jitter filter design for high performance, small form-factor
applications. The PL904xxx accepts a reference clock input between 12MHz and 250MHz that can be either differential or
single-ended. The PL904xxx is capable of producing up to 2 differential outputs up to 850MHz. The most common
configuration will be with the same input and output frequency, but this flexible design also allows frequency translation
from one frequency to another frequency, as long as both frequencies are within the specified ranges for input and output.
Jitter Attenuation
Typically, the jitter attenuation settings will be optimized for one particular input and output frequency.
The PL904xxx excels at attenuating deterministic jitter that presents itself as spurs in the phase noise plot above 1MHz.
Output Logic Programming
Available output logic types are LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL,
and LVCMOS.
Each output can be programmed individually to one of the
four logic types.
All logic types are differential, except LVCMOS. For
LVCMOS, only the true channel of the output pair is
enabled and the complementary channel is disabled. With
LVCMOS, there is also an output drive setting. There is
one setting for all LVCMOS outputs, so all LVCMOS
outputs will have the same drive strength.
Figure 1. Differential Input Signal
Unused outputs are disabled to high impedance.
Input Selection
The reference input for the device can be programmed to
be either differential or single ended and requires only a
small amplitude. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Figure 2. Single-Ended Input Signal
The single-ended signal can be LVCMOS and the
differential signal can be any of the differential logic types.
For the differential logic types, it is important to use the
appropriate termination for the logic type.

Notes:
3. Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device.
4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.
5. Package thermal resistance assumes the exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device’s most negative potential on the PCB.
6. The circuit is designed to meet the AC and DC specifications shown in the Electrical Characteristics tables after thermal equilibrium has been
established.
