Product details
Overview
549HCJA002496CCG from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable ultra-low-jitter crystal oscillator (XO) delivering 95 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), factory-configured for 249.6 MHz output, ±20 ppm total frequency stability over –40 to +85 °C, and LVDS output format in a 3.2 × 5 mm CLCC package. It serves as a high-precision clock source for 100G optical Ethernet line cards requiring deterministic timing and supply noise immunity.
For engineers reviewing the 549HCJA002496CCG datasheet, 549HCJA002496CCG pinout, 549HCJA002496CCG application, or 549HCJA002496CCG equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed LVDS electrical specs, and two field-proven alternative oscillators with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The 549HCJA002496CCG implements Skyworks' 4th-generation DSPLL® architecture with a fixed 152.6 MHz crystal reference and fractional-N feedback divider (FBDIV, 11.32-bit), enabling precise synthesis of 249.6 MHz from integer/fractional division chains. Its digital loop filter and on-chip power supply regulation deliver –83 dBc PSNR at 156.25 MHz under 50 mVpp ripple.
Startup behavior is defined by factory-programmed OE polarity (active-high on Pin 1), dual startup frequency selection (FS0/FS1), and I²C address configuration. Output enable timing is specified at TE = 20 µs and TD = 3 µs for FCLK >10 MHz, with power-up time tOSC ≤ 10 ms to full-frequency lock.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 249.6 MHz - factory-programmed center frequency, supports ±950 ppm glitchless reprogramming via I²C |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 95 fs (12 kHz–20 MHz) - guarantees sub-100 fs jitter for coherent optics and PAM4 SerDes sampling |
| Frequency Stability | ±20 ppm total - includes temp, aging (20 yr @ 70 °C), VDD variation, and load pulling |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±5% - compatible with standard logic rails; same part supports 1.8 V/2.5 V via configuration |
| Output Format | LVDS - differential swing 0.6–0.9 VPP, common-mode 1.125–1.275 V (2.5/3.3 V VDD), 100 Ω termination |

| Package | 3.2 × 5 mm CLCC - 8-pin surface-mount, MSL Level 3, Au/Ni contact pads, ΘJA = 55 °C/W |
Pinout & Package
3.2 × 5 mm 8-pin CLCC package with gull-wing leads, hermetically sealed ceramic body, and exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-high enable control; internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VDD; asserts tristate within 3 µs |
| 2 | NC (No Connect) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 4 | CLK+ | Differential LVDS positive output; 100 Ω termination required at receiver end |
| 5 | CLK− | Differential LVDS negative output; matched trace length critical for skew & jitter performance |
| 6 | VDD | 3.3 V power supply; bypassed internally; external 100 nF + 10 µF decoupling recommended |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| I²C programmability | Enables field reconfiguration of output frequency (0.2–1500 MHz) and startup settings without hardware change |
| Ultra-low jitter | 95 fs RMS jitter ensures <0.1 UI jitter margin for 100G/400G PAM4 receivers operating at 56 GBd |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si540BCA002496CEG | Same DSPLL core, but fixed-frequency (non-I²C) variant; ±10 ppm stability; 2.5 × 3.2 mm package | Lacks field reprogrammability; used where clock frequency is static and board space is constrained | Select when design requires guaranteed <100 fs jitter at 249.6 MHz with no I²C overhead or firmware dependency |
| MAX2682EUT+T | VCO-based, non-crystal oscillator; 200–400 MHz range; 1.5 ps RMS jitter; 5 × 3 mm SOT23-6 | No factory-programmed startup; requires external loop filter and reference; higher jitter than Si549 | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-critical timing paths where ±500 ppm stability and 1.5 ps jitter are acceptable |
Compared with 549HCJA002496CCG, Si540BCA002496CEG trades I²C flexibility for tighter stability and smaller footprint, while MAX2682EUT+T offers lower cost but significantly higher jitter and no crystal-referenced accuracy-making it unsuitable for 100G+ coherent systems.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of the 549HCJA002496CCG?
The 549HCJA002496CCG is factory-programmed to deliver a precise 249.6 MHz LVDS output signal. This frequency is set at shipment and remains fixed unless reprogrammed via its I²C interface. The device supports continuous glitchless reprogramming across ±950 ppm around this center frequency, enabling fine-tuning for system-level calibration without interrupting operation.
Does the 549HCJA002496CCG require external configuration after soldering?
No, the 549HCJA002496CCG operates immediately upon power-up at its factory-programmed 249.6 MHz output without external configuration. All key parameters-including startup frequency, OE polarity, I²C address, and output format-are preloaded into on-chip NVM. I²C is optional and used only for dynamic reprogramming, not initialization.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage ripple for the 549HCJA002496CCG to maintain 95 fs jitter?
The 549HCJA002496CCG maintains its specified 95 fs RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) under 50 mVpp sine-wave ripple at 100–1000 kHz, as verified in PSNR testing. Its on-chip power supply regulation achieves –83 dBc typical rejection, allowing direct integration with switched-mode power supplies in high-density boards without additional LDO filtering.
Can the 549HCJA002496CCG generate frequencies outside the 249.6 MHz nominal value?
Yes, the 549HCJA002496CCG supports full I²C-based reprogramming from 0.2 to 1500 MHz (LVDS mode up to 1500 MHz). Its DSPLL architecture enables any frequency within that range with <1 ppb resolution. Factory programming sets the default 249.6 MHz, but users may write new frequency values to registers at any time-enabling multi-standard support or field upgrades.
Is the 549HCJA002496CCG pin-compatible with other Si549 variants?
Yes, all Si549 devices-including 549HCJA002496CCG-share identical 3.2 × 5 mm 8-pin CLCC pinouts and electrical signaling. Differences lie solely in factory-programmed parameters (frequency, OE polarity, I²C address, output format). This enables drop-in replacement across Si549 SKUs without PCB redesign, provided the target variant matches the required output format and stability grade.
