Product details
Overview
516BEB000260BAGR from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-frequency voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) with factory-programmed output frequencies of 156.25 MHz and 125 MHz, ±20 ppm temperature stability, 3.3 V supply, LVDS output format, and 2.5×3.2 mm SMD package. It delivers low jitter (0.25 ps RMS phase jitter, 1.875–20 MHz), high power supply noise rejection (3.5–4.0 ps additive jitter), and supports telecom timing applications requiring dual-clock flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the 516BEB000260BAGR datasheet, 516BEB000260BAGR pinout, 516BEB000260BAGR application, or 516BEB000260BAGR equivalent, this device serves as a programmable, single-component replacement for discrete dual-VCXO solutions in SONET/SDH, PON, and FPGA clock generation where frequency agility, jitter performance, and board space reduction are critical.
Technical Context
The 516BEB000260BAGR implements an integrated PLL-based synthesizer using a fixed AT-cut fundamental-mode crystal, enabling precise dual-frequency selection via the FS pin without external components. Its architecture eliminates crystal aging sensitivity while maintaining ±20 ppm stability over –40 to +85 °C.
It features LVDS differential outputs with 0.38 VPPSE swing, 1.23 V common-mode voltage, and 800 ps rise/fall time (20–80%); control voltage linearity is ±1% BSL across 0.1–0.9 × VDD, with Kv = 90 ppm/V and ±10% Kv variation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-frequency VCXO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si516BEB000260AAG | Same frequencies and specs, but 5×7 mm package instead of 2.5×3.2 mm | Requires larger PCB area; suitable for prototyping or legacy designs with 5×7 mm land patterns | Select when board real estate is not constrained and compatibility with older Si516 footprints is needed |
| Si516BBB000260BAGR | Same package and frequencies, but CMOS output (not LVDS) and 3.3 V supply | Limited to single-ended loads; lower noise immunity and higher jitter (0.35 ps RMS) than LVDS variant | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-speed control-plane clocking where differential signaling is unnecessary |
