LMK60E2-150M00SIAR

Programmable timers and oscillators are capable of providing exact time intervals and frequencies, which are used in a variety of applications including automation, control, and communications. One such example is the LMK60E2-150M00SIAR, an application specific clock generator on a chip. Its programmable oscillator structure, high integration, and low spurs make it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.

The LMK60E2-150M00SIAR has an output frequency range of 150-1400MHz. It offers programmable accuracy of up to ±20 ppm, and is capable of operating in temperatures over a range of -40° to 130°C. The device uses a low jitter 3.2 V differential PECL reference clock input, allowing it to generate a tightly controlled output frequency. The device can also be configured in either a programmable frequency generator or a crystal-controlled oscillator. The device is protected by an integrated ESD protection circuit, which means that it can withstand high voltage spikes without any significant damage.

The LMK60E2-150M00SIAR is a versatile solution for designers looking to generate precise and stable frequencies from a single integrated circuit. Application examples include clock generators for CPU, DSP, ASIC and microcontrollers, clock multiplier and frequency doublers for PC and digital video applications, clock synchronization for network and telecom equipment, frequency synthesis for digital radio applications, as well as phase locked loops for power and HVAC systems. It is also suitable for use in GPS receivers, ultrasound imaging and medical systems.

On a more technical level, the LMK60E2-150M00SIAR works by first converting the reference clock input to a high frequency square wave using the built-in phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL operates in a closed loop, meaning that any frequency errors in the output frequency are automatically corrected. The output frequency is then generated by dividing the PLL\'s clock signal using an on-chip programmable divider. The divider can be programmed to divide the output frequency by any number from 1 to 4095. The output frequency is then tuned using an on-chip programmable trimming capacitor.

The on-chip ESD protection circuit allows the device to be used in high voltage environments, while the integrated ESD-protection diode and the ESD protection grounded pad ensure that ESD is not propagated to the input clock reference. Furthermore, the LMK60E2-150M00SIAR allows for digital and analog programmability, meaning that customers can choose between the two options without having to purchase additional components.

In summary, the LMK60E2-150M00SIAR is a highly-integrated programmable oscillator designed for a wide range of applications that require precise and stable clock and timing signals. Its high integration and low spurs make it an ideal solution for designers looking for an all-in-one solution.
