Product details
Overview
512FCA000442CAGR from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-frequency, factory-programmed crystal oscillator (XO) with CMOS output, 3.3 V supply, ±30 ppm total stability, and 2.5×3.2 mm package. It delivers two user-selectable frequencies - 100 MHz and 125 MHz - via the FS pin, supporting FPGA/ASIC clocking and telecom infrastructure where low-jitter, dual-clock flexibility is required.
For engineers reviewing the 512FCA000442CAGR datasheet, 512FCA000442CAGR pinout, 512FCA000442CAGR application, or 512FCA000442CAGR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-frequency switching latency, CMOS drive strength at 3.3 V, startup time under 10 ms, OE polarity configuration, and compatibility with industry-standard 2.5×3.2 mm land patterns.
Technical Context
The 512FCA000442CAGR implements Skyworks' DSPLL® synthesis architecture using a single fixed-crystal reference and an on-chip PLL to generate any frequency from 100 kHz to 212.5 MHz (CMOS limit). Its dual-frequency operation is controlled by a single digital FS input, enabling seamless switching between 100 MHz and 125 MHz without external components.
It integrates an on-chip LDO regulator for supply noise rejection, supports active-high OE with internal pull-up, and features runt suppression on both OE and power-on transitions. The device operates across –40 °C to +85 °C and is qualified per MIL-STD-883 mechanical shock/vibration standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-frequency XO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si512FCA000104BAGR | Same Si512 family, 3.2×5.0 mm package, identical 100/125 MHz frequencies and ±30 ppm stability | Requires larger PCB footprint; suitable when 3.2×5.0 mm layout is already committed | Select if board space allows larger package and existing land pattern matches B-code footprint |
| Si513FCA000442CAGR | Same frequencies/stability, but OE on pin 1 (not pin 2); otherwise functionally identical | Pinout inversion requires minor PCB netlist update; no performance or timing impact | Choose only if redesign accommodates OE relocation; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with Si512FCA000104BAGR, the 512FCA000442CAGR saves 38% board area via its 2.5×3.2 mm footprint; versus Si513FCA000442CAGR, it avoids layout revision by retaining OE on pin 2 - critical for legacy-compatible upgrades.

FAQ
What are the exact factory-programmed frequencies for 512FCA000442CAGR?
The 512FCA000442CAGR is factory-programmed for two precise frequencies: 100.000000 MHz (f₀, selected when FS = 0) and 125.000000 MHz (f₁, selected when FS = 1). These values are laser-trimmed and verified during production test; no field tuning is possible. Both frequencies meet ±30 ppm total stability over –40 °C to +85 °C and 10-year aging.
Does 512FCA000442CAGR support differential output formats like LVDS or LVPECL?
No, the 512FCA000442CAGR is configured exclusively for single-ended CMOS output. Its part number code "F" denotes 3.3 V CMOS, and the datasheet confirms CMOS-only operation for this variant. For LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL variants, Skyworks offers other Si512/513 part numbers (e.g., prefix 512E/512B), but 512FCA000442CAGR does not support differential signaling.
What is the maximum allowable capacitive load for the CMOS output of 512FCA000442CAGR?
The 512FCA000442CAGR CMOS output is specified for CL ≤ 15 pF when measuring rise/fall time (≤1.2 ns), and for general operation, the recommended load is ≤30 pF to maintain timing integrity and jitter performance. Exceeding 30 pF may increase propagation delay, degrade edge rate, and elevate phase jitter beyond the rated 0.25–0.35 ps RMS.
How does the OE (Output Enable) pin behave during power-up for 512FCA000442CAGR?
The 512FCA000442CAGR features an internal pull-up resistor (~45 kΩ) on OE (pin 2), ensuring active-high default behavior. At power-up, OE is asserted high before VDD reaches regulation, enabling the output after startup time (≤10 ms). Runt suppression prevents spurious edges during this transition, guaranteeing clean clock assertion without external reset sequencing.
Can the 512FCA000442CAGR be used in applications requiring tighter than ±30 ppm stability?
No - the "C" in 512FCA000442CAGR explicitly denotes Frequency Stability Grade C (±30 ppm total). This includes all contributors: initial tolerance, temperature drift (±20 ppm), supply/load variation, shock/vibration, and 10-year aging. For ±50 ppm (Grade B) or ±100 ppm (Grade A), a different part number (e.g., 512FBA… or 512FAA…) must be selected; stability grade is factory-programmed and non-modifiable.
