The M2006-03 is a VCSO (Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator) based clock generator PLL designed for frequency translation and jitter attenuation of a master reference clock in a cable modem termination system (CMTS). External loop filter components allow tailoring of the PLL loop response. The M2006-03 includes a phase-slope limiting feature to prevent disruptive output clock phase changes upon input reference reselection.
