Product details
Overview
554BM000159DGR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-frequency voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) with factory-programmed output frequencies of 155.52 MHz, 156.25 MHz, 159.375 MHz, and 161.1328125 MHz, 3.3 V LVDS output, ±50 ppm temperature stability, 90 ppm/V tuning slope, and operation from –40 °C to +85 °C in a 5 × 7 mm 8-pin surface-mount package. It delivers low-jitter clocking for telecom synchronization and serial data links.
For engineers reviewing the 554BM000159DGR datasheet, 554BM000159DGR pinout, 554BM000159DGR application, or 554BM000159DGR equivalent, this device supports frequency-selectable, low-phase-noise timing in SONET/SDH, 10GbE, and optical module designs where supply noise rejection and multi-rate flexibility are critical.
Technical Context
The 554BM000159DGR implements Skyworks' third-generation DSPLL® architecture, synthesizing four discrete output frequencies from a single internal fixed-frequency crystal reference. Its analog VC input accepts 0–VDD control voltage with 90 ppm/V tuning slope and ±30 ppm APR at 3.3 V, enabling precise PLL lock range tracking.
It integrates programmable OE polarity (active-high per ordering code 'B'), dual-bit FS[1:0] frequency selection, and LVDS differential outputs with 1.20 V nominal common-mode level, 0.7 VPP typical differential swing, and 45–55% duty cycle symmetry - all compliant with industry-standard 5 × 7 mm footprint and MSL 1 handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Frequencies | 155.52 MHz, 156.25 MHz, 159.375 MHz, 161.1328125 MHz - four factory-configured rates selectable via FS[1:0] pins |

Pinout & Package
554BM000159DGR is housed in an industry-standard 5 × 7 mm, 8-pad surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked by a dot on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VC | Analog control voltage input - accepts 0–3.3 V to adjust output frequency within ±30 ppm APR window |
| 2 | OE | Output enable (active-high) - drives CLK+/CLK– into high-impedance state when low, reducing system power during idle |
| 3 | GND | Electrical and case ground - serves as return path for all signals and power, requiring low-inductance PCB connection |
| 4 | CLK+ | Differential clock output (LVDS) - delivers true-phase signal referenced to CLK– with 1.20 V common-mode level |
| 5 | CLK– | Differential clock output (LVDS) - complementary signal to CLK+, forming 100 Ω differential pair for EMI reduction |
| 6 | VDD | 3.3 V power supply - must be decoupled with ≥10 µF bulk + 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin for jitter suppression |
| 7 | FS[1] | Frequency select MSB - combined with FS[0], selects one of four preprogrammed output frequencies (00–11) |
| 8 | FS[0] | Frequency select LSB - latched on power-up or after OE toggle; no glitching during transitions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-frequency VCXO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si552BM000159DGR | Same Si55x family, but dual-frequency (2 outputs) instead of quad; identical LVDS, 3.3 V, ±50 ppm, 90 ppm/V specs | Limited to two frequencies - insufficient for systems requiring four distinct rates like multi-protocol line cards | Select only if BOM simplification outweighs frequency flexibility; requires FS logic redesign |
| 554BF000159DGR | Same quad-frequency configuration but with 2.5 V LVDS supply (not 3.3 V); otherwise identical stability, KV, and jitter | Requires 2.5 V rail and compatible IO standards - unsuitable for 3.3 V-only systems or mixed-voltage backplanes | Choose only when system-level power architecture mandates 2.5 V timing rails |
Compared with 554BM000159DGR, the Si552BM000159DGR reduces frequency count but saves cost and layout area, while the 554BF000159DGR maintains full functionality at lower voltage - both require careful validation of supply compatibility and frequency coverage before substitution.

FAQ
What output frequencies are factory-programmed in the 554BM000159DGR?
The 554BM000159DGR is configured with four specific output frequencies: 155.52 MHz, 156.25 MHz, 159.375 MHz, and 161.1328125 MHz. These are permanently programmed at manufacture and selected via the FS[1:0] pins. No field reprogramming is possible - the frequencies are fixed per the part number's six-digit code '000159', which maps to this exact set in the Si554 frequency database.
Does the 554BM000159DGR support LVDS output, and what are its electrical characteristics?
Yes, the 554BM000159DGR uses LVDS output with a nominal common-mode voltage of 1.20 V, differential swing of 0.7 VPP (typical), and 45–55% duty cycle symmetry. It requires 100 Ω differential termination and operates within 10–945 MHz range. The 554BM000159DGR meets LVDS electrical standards with <350 ps rise/fall times and supports 155.52 MHz operation with 0.37 ps RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz).
What is the tuning slope (KV) and absolute pull range (APR) of the 554BM000159DGR?
The 554BM000159DGR has a tuning slope (KV) of 90 ppm/V and delivers ±30 ppm absolute pull range (APR) at 3.3 V supply. This is calculated as 0.5 × 3.3 V × 90 ppm/V − 50 ppm (temp stability) − 10 ppm (aging), meeting telecom-grade APR requirements. The VC input accepts 0–3.3 V with 500 kΩ input impedance and 10.0 kHz modulation bandwidth.
How is frequency selection implemented on the 554BM000159DGR?
Frequency selection on the 554BM000159DGR is performed using two digital inputs: FS[1] (pin 7) and FS[0] (pin 8). These pins decode four states (00, 01, 10, 11) to select the corresponding preprogrammed frequency. The selection is latched internally and takes ≤20 ms to settle. Both pins include 17 kΩ internal pull-up resistors to VDD, simplifying interface design.
Is the 554BM000159DGR RoHS-compliant and qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the 554BM000159DGR is Pb-free/RoHS-compliant (marked with '+' on top) and qualified for continuous operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. It meets MIL-STD-883F mechanical shock/vibration, J-STD-020 MSL 1 moisture sensitivity, and JEDEC J-STD-020C soldering profiles - making it suitable for industrial, telecom, and outdoor base station applications.
