CDCE913 fan out

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CDCE913, CDCE925

Dear Sir\Madam

I plan of using the cdce913 in my new design who include 2 Ethernet MAC , 2 Ethernet PHY and one microcontroller.

Required clock frequency value are : Y1 = 8Mhz ,Y2,Y3  = 25Mhz with SSC ON. 

My question is as follow :

1) Can I drive one Ethernet MAC and  one Ethernet PHY (25Mhz) from single output of the CDCE913?

the MAC load capacitance is 27pf and the PHY load is 16 pf,  or do I need to add fan-out buffer?

2) Using the design software with 12Mhz clock input, I have found that the N divider value is 4050 and the M value is 243 the result of N/M is 16.67777 which generate a 200Mhz VCO frequency, since the result is a fraction value (not integer) are this value legal? (dose the cdce913 lock and produce the required frequency's?)

3)Following question 2 should multiplying the base frequency with a fraction value produce more Jitter at the output?

Thanks
