Selection Guide

Choose the CDCM6208VFRGZR when you need a low-jitter clock generator with 8 outputs and fractional dividers for applications like data converter clocking, Ethernet, and optical transport. If you need higher output frequencies (up to 3.3 GHz) and lower jitter (0.1 ps), consider the LMK5C33216RGCR, but note it has a different pinout and is not a drop-in replacement. For simpler clock distribution without synthesis, the LMK00306SQX/NOPB is a lower-power option but has fewer outputs and no fractional dividers. The CDCM6208V2RGZR and CDCM6208V1FRGZR are drop-in alternatives with the same package and pinout, differing only in version-specific features.

Key Differentiators

  • Low jitter of 0.5 ps RMS (vs LMK00306SQX/NOPB)
  • 8 outputs (vs LMK00306SQX/NOPB)
  • Fractional dividers (vs LMK00306SQX/NOPB)

Design Notes

Ensure proper decoupling of the VDD pins with 0.1uF and 10uF capacitors placed close to the pins. Use a clean ground plane to minimize noise and improve jitter performance.

Place the loop filter components close to the PLL pins to optimize jitter. Use short traces and avoid routing high-speed signals near the loop filter.

The exposed pad must be soldered to a thermal via array to ensure proper heat dissipation. The thermal resistance is [DATA_NEEDED: theta_JA], so adequate copper area is required for high-power operation.
