Typical Phase Noise Performance Plots
The LMK0482x’s dual PLL architecture achieves ultra low jitter and phase noise by allowing the external
VCXO or Crystal’s phase noise to dominate the final output phase noise at low offset frequencies and the
internal VCO’s phase noise to dominate the final output phase noise at high offset frequencies. This
results in the best overall noise and jitter performance.
Table 6 lists the test conditions used for output clock phase noise measurements with the Crystek 122.88
MHz VCXO.
