(Preliminary) Analog Frequency Multiplier
PL560/565-08 VCXO Family
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Analog Frequency Multiplier (AFM) is the
industry’s first ‘Balanced Oscillator’ utilizing analog
multiplication of the fundamental frequency (at
quadruple frequency), combined with an attenuation
of the fundamental of the reference crystal, without
the use of a phase-locked loop (PLL), in CMOS
technology.
Micrel’s world’s best performing AFM products can
achieve up to 800 MHz output frequency with little
jitter or phase noise deterioration. In addition, the
low frequency input crystal requirement makes the
AFM the most affordable high-performance timing-
source in the market.
PL560-08 and PL565-08 products utilize low-power
CMOS technology and are housed in Green / RoHS
compliant 16-pin TSSOP, and 16-pin 3x3 QFN
packages.
