CDCE421

SCAS842 – APRIL 2007

For the case of a CDCE421 being referenced by an external and cleaner LVCMOS input of 35.42 MHz, Figure 8

shows the SSB phase noise plot of the output at 708 MHz from 100 Hz to 40 MHz from the carrier. Note the

dependence of output jitter on the input reference jitter. See Figure 13 for test setup.
