The LMK5B12212 is a high-performance network synchronizer and jitter cleaner designed to meet the stringent requirements of ethernet-based networking applications with < 5ns timing accuracy (class D).

The network synchronizer integrates a DPLL to provide hitless switching and jitter attenuation with programmable loop bandwidth (LBW) and no external loop filters, maximizing flexibility and ease of use. The DPLL phase locks an integrated APLL to the provided reference input.

APLL1 features an ultra high performance PLL with TI’s proprietary Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) technology (known as the BAW APLL) and can generate 312.5MHz output clocks with 42fs typical / 60fs maximum RMS jitter irrespective of the DPLL reference input frequency and jitter characteristics. APLL2 provides for a second frequency and/or synchronization domain.

Reference validation circuitry monitors the DPLL reference clocks and performs a hitless switch between inputs upon detecting a switchover event. Zero-Delay Mode (ZDM) and phase cancellation can be enabled to control the phase relationship from input to outputs.

The device is fully programmable through I2C or SPI. The integrated EEPROM can be used to customize system start-up clocks. The device also features factory default ROM profiles as fallback options.
