Skyworks Solutions Inc. 516BHA000260BAGR

Overview

516BHA000260BAGR from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-frequency voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) supporting 100 kHz to 250 MHz output range with factory-programmed frequencies of 156.25 MHz and 125 MHz, ±20 ppm temperature stability, ±150 ppm/V tuning slope, and 5×7 mm 6-pin SMD package. It delivers low jitter (0.25 ps RMS phase jitter, 1.3 ps period jitter), high supply noise rejection, and operates from 3.3 V supply in telecom clocking and FPGA timing applications.

For engineers reviewing the 516BHA000260BAGR datasheet, 516BHA000260BAGR pinout, 516BHA000260BAGR application, or 516BHA000260BAGR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-frequency switching via FS pin, CMOS/LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL output format compatibility, ±100 ppm absolute pull range, 1% control voltage linearity, and industry-standard 5×7 mm footprint with RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.

Technical Context

The 516BHA000260BAGR implements an integrated PLL-based synthesizer architecture using a fixed AT-cut fundamental-mode crystal, eliminating need for multiple crystals per frequency. Its dual-frequency operation is controlled by a digital FS input that selects between two factory-configured frequencies without reprogramming.

It features a dedicated VC pin with 100 kΩ input impedance and 10 kHz modulation bandwidth, supports 3.3 V ±10% supply, and provides programmable Kv (150 ppm/V) and APR (±100 ppm) - both specified across –40°C to +85°C operating range. Output disable/enable timing is ≤20 µs for frequencies >10 MHz.

FAQ

What are the two factory-programmed output frequencies of the 516BHA000260BAGR?

The 516BHA000260BAGR is factory-configured for 156.25 MHz and 125 MHz outputs. These frequencies are selected via the FS pin: FS = 0 selects 156.25 MHz, and FS = 1 selects 125 MHz. Both frequencies are fully characterized per Skyworks datasheet Table 3, with jitter and phase noise validated at 156.25 MHz under LVPECL conditions.

Does the 516BHA000260BAGR support CMOS output format?

No, the 516BHA000260BAGR does not support CMOS output. Its ordering code "B" specifies LVPECL output format (per Skyworks Part Number Convention, page 14). CMOS variants use codes "C", "G", "M", or "N". This device uses LVPECL with complementary CLK+/CLK− pins and requires 50 Ω termination to VDD–2 V.

What is the control voltage range and tuning slope for the 516BHA000260BAGR?

The 516BHA000260BAGR accepts a control voltage (VC) from 0.1×VDD to 0.9×VDD - i.e., 0.33 V to 2.97 V at 3.3 V supply. Its tuning slope is ±150 ppm/V (ordering code "A" in 2nd option position), with ±10% variation over temperature and supply, enabling precise analog frequency adjustment within its ±100 ppm absolute pull range.

How is frequency selection implemented on the 516BHA000260BAGR?

Frequency selection is implemented via the FS (Frequency Select) pin (Pin 2). Applying VIH ≥ 0.8×VDD selects the second frequency (125 MHz); applying VIL ≤ 0.2×VDD selects the first (156.25 MHz). Internal 45 kΩ pull-up ensures default high state. Settling time after FS change is ≤10 ms, and no external programming or I²C interface is required.

What package type and dimensions does the 516BHA000260BAGR use?

The 516BHA000260BAGR uses a 6-pin, 5×7 mm surface-mount ceramic package (package code "A"). Per Skyworks Figure 3 and Table 14, it has nominal dimensions of 5.00 mm × 7.00 mm × 1.65 mm height, with 2.54 mm pin pitch and 4.40 mm body width (D1), meeting industry-standard footprints for automated placement and reflow.
