ABSTRACT

The LMK04368EPEVM (EVM) is designed to evaluate the performance and features of the LMK04368-EP high 
performance Ultra-Low-Noise JESD204B Dual-Loop Clock Jitter Cleaner from Texas Instruments. The user’s 
guide describes how to set up and operate the EVM. The LMK04368-EP device on each EVM is an Engineering 
Model, intended for engineering evaluation only.
