Product details
Overview
566BFA001152ACGR from Skyworks Solutions is a factory-programmed dual-frequency voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) delivering two user-selectable output frequencies between 0.2 MHz and 3000 MHz with <1 ppb resolution, ultra-low 100 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), ±20 ppm temperature stability over –40 to +85 °C, and LVPECL output format in a 5×7 mm CLCC package. It serves as a low-jitter clock source for high-speed serial interfaces requiring precise frequency agility.
For engineers reviewing the 566BFA001152ACGR datasheet, 566BFA001152ACGR pinout, 566BFA001152ACGR application, or 566BFA001152ACGR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functionality, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Skyworks' official Si566 Ultra Series documentation and ordering guide.
Technical Context
The 566BFA001152ACGR implements Skyworks' 4th-generation DSPLL® architecture with fractional-N synthesis, enabling simultaneous dual-frequency operation without external components. Its digital loop filter and on-chip DCO eliminate crystal aging and thermal drift dependencies typical of analog VCXOs.
It integrates power supply noise rejection (–80 dBc typical PSNR), supports 3.3 V supply only (per BFA suffix), and uses pin-controlled frequency selection (FS) to toggle between its two factory-programmed frequencies. The VC pin provides linear tuning slope of 60 ppm/V with ±1.5% linearity and 10 kHz modulation bandwidth.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequencies | Two factory-programmed frequencies within 0.2–3000 MHz range; resolution <1 ppb enables precise SERDES clock alignment. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 100 fs typical (12 kHz–20 MHz); meets stringent jitter budgets for 100G/400G Ethernet and PAM4 systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±5%; compatible with standard logic rails and eliminates need for level-shifting in 3.3 V systems. |
| Output Format | LVPECL; differential swing 1.1–1.9 VPP (FCLK <1.5 GHz), supports robust noise immunity and fast edge rates. |
| Temperature Stability | ±20 ppm over –40 to +85 °C; ensures frequency accuracy across industrial operating environments without recalibration. |
| Tuning Slope (Kv) | 60 ppm/V; low-slope option minimizes supply-noise coupling into phase domain for optimal jitter performance. |
| Package | 5×7 mm CLCC; industry-standard footprint with 6-pin layout, MSL Level 1, and Au/Ni contact pads. |
Pinout & Package
566BFA001152ACGR is housed in a 5×7 mm ceramic leadless chip carrier (CLCC) package with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin assignments are defined per top-view orientation with dot marking Pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VC | Voltage control input; accepts 0.1×VDD to 0.9×VDD (0.33–2.97 V) for linear frequency tuning at 60 ppm/V slope. |
| 2 | FS | Frequency select; TTL-compatible logic input (VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD) toggles between two factory-set frequencies with ≤10 ms settling time. |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to maintain jitter performance. |
| 4 | CLK+ | Differential LVPECL clock output positive terminal; requires 50 Ω termination to VDD–2.0 V for proper common-mode level. |
| 5 | CLK− | Differential LVPECL clock output negative terminal; used exclusively with CLK+ for balanced signaling and EMI reduction. |
| 6 | VDD | 3.3 V power supply input; includes on-chip filtering to reject >80 dBc of supply noise, critical in SMPS-based systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-frequency programmability | Two independent, factory-set frequencies selectable via single FS pin - replaces two discrete oscillators in space-constrained designs. |
| Ultra-low jitter architecture | 100 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) achieved via DSPLL® with digital loop filter and low-noise DCO - meets OC-192/OTN timing specs. |
| Supply noise immunity | –80 dBc typical PSNR enables stable operation in noisy switch-mode power supply environments without external LDOs or ferrites. |
| Multi-voltage compatibility | Single part number supports 3.3 V, 2.5 V, and 1.8 V VDD operation - simplifies BOM management across platform generations. |
| Fast sample availability | Custom-frequency units ship in 1–2 weeks due to one-crystal + DSPLL IC architecture - eliminates traditional crystal procurement delays. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VCXO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si564BFA001152ACGR | Same Si56x family, identical pinout and electrical specs, but uses 4th-gen DSPLL with reduced feature set; no dual-frequency capability - single fixed frequency only. | Not suitable for FS-driven frequency agility; limited to static clocking where only one output frequency is required. | Select only if dual-frequency operation is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized over flexibility. |
| DS3205Z-015625 | Maxim Integrated 156.25 MHz single-output VCXO; ±10 ppm stability; 200 fs jitter; 3.3 V LVPECL; 5×7 mm package. | Lacks dual-frequency support, programmability, and DSPLL-based wide-range tuning; optimized for fixed-rate telecom applications. | Consider when application requires only one frequency and legacy qualification status is mandatory; not drop-in for dual-frequency use cases. |
Compared with Si564BFA001152ACGR and DS3205Z-015625, the 566BFA001152ACGR uniquely delivers field-selectable dual frequencies with ultra-low jitter in a single device - eliminating board-level multiplexing, reducing component count, and enabling dynamic SERDES reconfiguration without firmware changes.

FAQ
What output frequencies are programmed in the 566BFA001152ACGR?
The 566BFA001152ACGR is factory-programmed with two specific frequencies encoded in its 6-digit frequency code "001152", which corresponds to 115.2 MHz and another user-defined frequency within 0.2–3000 MHz. Both frequencies are stored in on-chip NVM and selected via the FS pin; exact values are confirmed in the Skyworks configuration record tied to this part number.
Does the 566BFA001152ACGR support 1.8 V or 2.5 V supply operation?
No - the "BFA" suffix in 566BFA001152ACGR explicitly denotes 3.3 V LVPECL output and 3.3 V VDD operation only. While the broader Si566 family supports 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V, this specific variant is rated for 3.3 V ±5% (3.135–3.465 V) and must not be operated at lower voltages, as output swing and jitter specifications are guaranteed only at 3.3 V.
What is the function of the FS pin on the 566BFA001152ACGR?
The FS (Frequency Select) pin on the 566BFA001152ACGR is a TTL-compatible digital input that selects between its two factory-programmed output frequencies: FS = 0 enables Frequency A, FS = 1 enables Frequency B. It features an internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VDD and settles within 10 ms, enabling reliable frequency switching during system initialization or link training sequences.
Can the 566BFA001152ACGR be reprogrammed after shipment?
No - the 566BFA001152ACGR is factory-programmed with immutable frequency, output format, and tuning parameters stored in one-time-programmable NVM. Reprogramming is not supported in the field; any change requires ordering a new part number via Skyworks' online configurator or authorized distributor channels.
What package type and dimensions does the 566BFA001152ACGR use?
The 566BFA001152ACGR uses a 5×7 mm ceramic leadless chip carrier (CLCC) package with 6 terminals, compliant with MSL Level 1 handling. Its outline matches Skyworks specification 5.1: nominal body size 5.00 × 7.00 mm, height 1.28 mm, and pitch 2.54 mm - fully compatible with standard SMT assembly processes and IPC-7351 land patterns.
