Low-jitter, high-performance, bulk-acoustic-wave (BAW) fixed-frequency LVDS oscillator

Texas Instruments’ Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) is a micro-resonator technology that

enables integration of high-precision BAW resonator directly into packages with

ultra-low jitter clock circuitry. BAW is fully designed and manufactured at TI

factories like other silicon-based fabrication processes.

The LMK6x device is an ultra-low jitter,

fixed-frequency oscillator which incorporates the BAW as the resonator source. The

device is factory-programmed per specific operation mode, including frequency,

voltage, output type, and function pin. With a high-performance fractional frequency

divider, the LMK6x is capable of producing any frequency within the specified range

providing a single device family for all frequency needs.

The high-performance clocking, mechanical

stability, flexibility, and small package options

for this device are designed for reference and

core clocks in high-speed SERDES used in

telecommunications, data and enterprise network,

and industrial applications.
