The following graphs show the low additive noise of the LMK1D1208I. The low noise 156.25-MHz source with 24-fs RMS jitter shown in Figure 10-2 drives the LMK1D1208I, resulting in 46.4-fs RMS when integrated from 12 kHz to 20 MHz (Figure 10-3). The resultant additive jitter is a low 39.7-fs RMS for this configuration.

Reference signal is low-noise Rohde and Schwarz SMA100B

Figure 10-4 shows the low close-in phase noise of the LMK1D1208I device. The LMK1D1208I has excellent flicker noise as a result of superior process technology and design. This enables their use for clock distribution in radar systems, medical imaging systems etc which require ultra-low close-in phase noise clocks.
