OP4017B - 3/27/08

• Quartz SAW Stabilized Differential Output Technology

• Very Low Jitter Fundamental-Mode Operation at 777.60 MHz

• Voltage Tunable for Phase Locked Loop Applications

• Optical Timing Reference for Forward Error Correction Applications

The OP4017B is a voltage-controlled SAW clock (VCSC) designed for phase-locked loop (PLL) applications

in optical data communications systems. The differential outputs of the OP4017B are generated by high-Q,

fundamental mode quartz surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology. This technique provides very low output

jitter and phase noise, plus excellent immunity to power supply noise. The OP4017B differential outputs

feature ±1% symmetry, and can be DC-configured to drive a wide range of high-speed logic families. The

OP4017B is packaged in a hermetic metal-ceramic LCC.
