Product details
Overview
511ECB-CBAG from Skyworks Solutions is a factory-programmed, low-jitter crystal oscillator (XO) with DSPLL-based frequency synthesis, delivering 156.25 MHz output in LVPECL format at 2.5 V supply, ±30 ppm total stability over –40 to +85 °C, and 5 × 7 mm 6-pin package. It serves as a precision clock source for high-speed serial interfaces requiring deterministic jitter performance.
For engineers reviewing the 511ECB-CBAG datasheet, 511ECB-CBAG pinout, 511ECB-CBAG application, or 511ECB-CBAG equivalent, this device offers verified phase jitter (0.31 ps RMS, 1.875–20 MHz), integrated LDO noise filtering, runt suppression on OE, and production-tested crystal ESR/DLD - critical for PCIe Gen3/4, 10G Ethernet, and FPGA timing integrity.
Technical Context
The 511ECB-CBAG implements Skyworks' DSPLL architecture with a fixed internal crystal and digital synthesizer, enabling any-frequency output from 100 kHz to 250 MHz without custom crystals. Its LVPECL output stage delivers 0.55–0.90 VPPSE swing into 50 Ω with 50% duty cycle tolerance (±2%).
It integrates an on-chip LDO regulator for supply noise rejection (3.0–3.5 ps additive jitter from 10–1000 kHz VDD noise), supports active-high OE on Pin 1 with internal pull-up, and features runt suppression during power-on and OE transitions - ensuring glitch-free clock enablement in synchronous systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Frequency | 156.25 MHz - precisely matches common Ethernet, OTN, and PCIe reference clocks. |
| Output Format | LVPECL - differential, high-speed interface compatible with SERDES receivers requiring <1.3 ps RMS period jitter. |
| Total Stability | ±30 ppm - includes initial accuracy, temperature, voltage, load, shock/vibration, and 10-year aging at 40 °C. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V ±10% - enables direct integration with 2.5 V logic domains and reduces power vs. 3.3 V alternatives. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 0.31 ps (1.875–20 MHz) - meets stringent jitter budgets for 10G+ serial links and high-speed ADC/DAC sampling clocks. |
| Startup Time | ≤10 ms - ensures rapid system initialization after power-on reset without external delay circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40 to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
511ECB-CBAG uses a 5 × 7 mm, 6-pin surface-mount package (CLCC-style) with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is OE (active-high, internal pull-up), Pin 3 is GND, Pin 4 is CLK+, Pin 5 is CLK−, and Pin 6 is VDD. Pin 2 is NC and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-high output enable with internal pull-up resistor (45 kΩ); asserts runt suppression during assertion/deassertion. |
| 2 | NC | No connect - electrically isolated; must not be soldered or tied to any net. |
| 3 | GND | Electrical and case ground reference for all internal circuits and output drivers. |
| 4 | CLK+ | Differential LVPECL positive output - requires 50 Ω termination to VDD − 2 V for specified swing and symmetry. |
| 5 | CLK− | Differential LVPECL complementary output - matched routing length critical for skew control (<10 ps). |
| 6 | VDD | 2.5 V power supply input - filtered internally by on-chip LDO; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DSPLL Any-Frequency Synthesis | Generates exact 156.25 MHz from fixed crystal - eliminates crystal procurement delays and binning variability. |
| On-Chip LDO Regulator | Provides >30 dB supply noise rejection up to 1 MHz - simplifies PCB power delivery for low-jitter operation in noisy SoC environments. |
| Runt Suppression | Prevents sub-cycle glitches on CLK+/CLK− during OE assertion and power-on - avoids false clock edges in synchronous logic. |
| Production-Tested Crystal ESR & DLD | Guarantees long-term reliability and frequency stability - each unit validated for motional resistance and drive-level dependency. |
| Industry-Standard 5 × 7 mm Package | Drop-in compatible with legacy XO footprints - no PCB redesign needed when upgrading from quartz-only oscillators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510ECB-CBAG | CMOS output, 4-pin 5 × 7 mm package, max 212.5 MHz, higher current draw (26 mA vs. 43 mA), no differential signaling. | Suitable for single-ended clock trees with lower speed or cost-sensitive designs; not viable for >10 Gbps differential links. | Select only if system lacks LVPECL receivers or requires simpler termination and lower EMI. |
| MAX2671ETL+ | 3.3 V LVPECL, ±50 ppm stability, 156.25 MHz fixed, no DSPLL - uses traditional crystal; higher phase jitter (0.8 ps RMS). | Legacy design replacement where DSPLL programmability is unnecessary and ±50 ppm stability suffices. | Choose when supply chain prefers non-configurable oscillators and jitter budget allows ≥0.8 ps RMS. |
Compared with Si510ECB-CBAG and MAX2671ETL+, the 511ECB-CBAG uniquely combines LVPECL output, ±30 ppm stability, and DSPLL-based jitter performance - making it optimal for next-generation serial link timing where signal integrity and long-term accuracy are co-constrained.

FAQ
What output format and supply voltage does the 511ECB-CBAG use?
The 511ECB-CBAG is configured as an LVPECL oscillator operating at 2.5 V nominal supply (±10%). Its differential outputs (CLK+, CLK−) deliver 0.55–0.90 VPPSE into 50 Ω loads referenced to VDD − 2 V, meeting JEDEC JESD8-12 standards. This configuration is factory-programmed and immutable post-shipment.
What is the total frequency stability specification for the 511ECB-CBAG?
The 511ECB-CBAG guarantees ±30 ppm total stability across its full operating range. This value includes initial calibration error, temperature variation (–40 to +85 °C), supply voltage change, load variation, mechanical shock/vibration, and 10-year aging at 40 °C - verified per Skyworks Rev. 1.4 datasheet Table 2.
Does the 511ECB-CBAG include runt suppression, and how does it function?
Yes, the 511ECB-CBAG incorporates hardware-level runt suppression on both power-on and OE transitions. When OE is asserted or the device powers up, internal circuitry holds CLK+/CLK− in a high-impedance or DC-biased state until the DSPLL achieves lock and output waveform integrity is confirmed - preventing sub-cycle glitches that could corrupt synchronous logic states.
What is the phase jitter performance of the 511ECB-CBAG at 156.25 MHz?
At 156.25 MHz output, the 511ECB-CBAG achieves 0.31 ps RMS phase jitter over the 1.875–20 MHz integration bandwidth (brickwall filter), and 0.8 ps RMS over 12 kHz–20 MHz - measured under 2.5/3.3 V supply conditions per Table 4 of the official datasheet. This performance exceeds PCIe Gen4 and 25G Ethernet jitter requirements.
How is the output enable (OE) pin implemented on the 511ECB-CBAG?
The 511ECB-CBAG implements OE on Pin 1 as an active-high control with an internal 45 kΩ pull-up resistor. When OE = VIH (≥0.80 × VDD), the LVPECL outputs are enabled; when OE = VIL (≤0.20 × VDD), outputs enter high-impedance state with runt suppression active. No external pull-up is required.
