Product details
Overview
566CFA001181ACGR from Skyworks Solutions is a factory-programmed dual-output voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) delivering two user-selectable frequencies from 0.2 to 3000 MHz with <1 ppb resolution, 100 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), and ±20 ppm temperature stability over –40 to +85 °C. It operates from 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V supply and supports LVPECL, LVDS, CML, HCSL, CMOS, and Dual CMOS output formats in a 5×7 mm CLCC package - used for high-speed serial clocking in 100G/400G OTN and FPGA timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the 566CFA001181ACGR datasheet, 566CFA001181ACGR pinout, 566CFA001181ACGR application, or 566CFA001181ACGR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options, and supply-chain support details specific to this exact Si566 variant.
Technical Context
The 566CFA001181ACGR implements Skyworks' 4th-generation DSPLL® architecture with a fractional-N digital phase-locked loop, enabling ultra-low jitter across both integer and fractional output frequencies without requiring multiple crystals. Its on-chip power supply regulation provides –80 dBc typical PSNR, rejecting noise from switched-mode supplies.
Frequency selection is controlled via the FS pin (pin 2), toggling between two factory-programmed frequencies; voltage control is applied to VC (pin 1) with tunable Kv slope (60–225 ppm/V). The device integrates a built-in NVM for configuration storage and supports tristate operation via OE functionality embedded in selected output formats.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequencies | Two factory-programmed frequencies from 0.2–3000 MHz; enables single-device replacement of dual-XO designs in multi-clock systems. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 100 fs typical (12 kHz–20 MHz); ensures compliance with stringent BER requirements in 100G/400G coherent optics and PAM4 links. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V ±5%; same part number supports mixed-voltage board designs without redesign. |
| Temperature Stability | ±20 ppm over –40 to +85 °C; meets industrial-grade timing accuracy for telecom infrastructure and server platforms. |
| Output Formats | LVPECL, LVDS, CML, HCSL, CMOS, Dual CMOS; supports direct interface to SerDes, FPGAs, ASICs, and memory controllers. |
| Package | 5×7 mm CLCC (6-pin); industry-standard footprint compatible with automated SMT assembly and IPC-7351 land patterns. |
| Tuning Slope (Kv) | 60 ppm/V (ordering option 'A'); minimizes VCO noise coupling while meeting APR requirements for PLL lock range. |
Pinout & Package
566CFA001181ACGR is housed in a 5×7 mm ceramic leadless chip carrier (CLCC) package with 6 surface-mount terminals. The package complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow standards, has MSL Level 1 rating, and features Au/Ni contact pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VC (Voltage Control) | Analog input for frequency tuning (0.1×VDD to 0.9×VDD); sets Kv = 60 ppm/V per ordering code 'A'. |
| 2 | FS (Frequency Select) | Digital input selecting between two factory-programmed output frequencies; internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VDD. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 4 | CLK+ | Differential clock output positive terminal; valid for LVPECL/LVDS/CML/HCSL; unused in CMOS mode. |
| 5 | CLK− | Differential clock output negative terminal; complements CLK+; not used in single-ended CMOS outputs. |
| 6 | VDD | Power supply input (1.8/2.5/3.3 V); includes on-chip filtering for >80 dBc PSNR performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Any-Frequency Output | Two independent, factory-programmed frequencies (e.g., 156.25 MHz and 312.5 MHz) selectable via FS pin - eliminates need for two discrete oscillators. |
| Ultra-Low Jitter Architecture | 100 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) achieved via DSPLL® with integrated digital loop filter and low-noise DCO - critical for 112G PAM4 eye margin. |
| Multi-Voltage Supply Support | Single SKU operates at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V without hardware change - simplifies BOM consolidation across product generations. |
| Configurable Output Format | Factory-set LVPECL/LVDS/CML/HCSL/CMOS/Dual CMOS; avoids external level-shifting or buffering in mixed-signal timing trees. |
| Fast Sample Lead Time | Custom-frequency samples shipped in 1–2 weeks due to programmable DSPLL core and single-crystal platform - bypasses traditional crystal procurement delays. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-controlled oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si564A-D05517-GM | Single-output VCXO (not dual); identical DSPLL core, same 100 fs jitter, but lacks FS pin and second frequency. | Suitable only where one programmable clock suffices; cannot replace dual-frequency requirement of 566CFA001181ACGR. | Select when system clock tree uses separate VCXOs per domain and board space allows two devices. |
| MAX2680EUT+T | Discrete VCO + PLL IC solution; higher phase noise (>200 fs), no integrated crystal, requires external loop filter and crystal. | Used in narrowband RF synthesis; lacks guaranteed jitter spec, not qualified for telecom timing standards. | Choose only for non-timing-critical RF local oscillator generation where DSPLL jitter specs are not required. |
Compared with Si564A-D05517-GM and MAX2680EUT+T, the 566CFA001181ACGR uniquely delivers factory-programmed dual-frequency capability with sub-100-fs jitter in a single 5×7 mm package - making it irreplaceable for space-constrained, multi-clock telecom and datacenter applications demanding guaranteed timing performance.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed frequency pair for 566CFA001181ACGR?
The 566CFA001181ACGR is configured with two specific frequencies encoded in its 6-digit frequency code '001181'. Per Skyworks' ordering guide, this corresponds to 100.000000 MHz and 156.250000 MHz - both factory-programmed into NVM and selectable via the FS pin. These values are fixed at shipment and cannot be reprogrammed in the field.
Does 566CFA001181ACGR support CMOS output format?
Yes, 566CFA001181ACGR supports CMOS output format as indicated by the 'C' in position 5 of the part number (566CFA001181ACGR → 'C' = CMOS). It delivers single-ended CMOS outputs with 0.5–1.5 ns rise/fall time (CL = 5 pF) and rail-to-rail swing, operating across the full 0.2–250 MHz frequency range supported by CMOS mode.
What is the absolute pull range (APR) for 566CFA001181ACGR?
With Kv = 60 ppm/V (ordering option 'A') and VDD = 3.3 V, the minimum APR for 566CFA001181ACGR is ±20 ppm. This includes worst-case contributions from temperature stability (±20 ppm), initial accuracy, load pulling, VDD variation, and 20-year aging at 70 °C - ensuring reliable PLL lock over full lifetime and operating conditions.
Can 566CFA001181ACGR operate at 1.8 V supply voltage?
Yes, 566CFA001181ACGR is fully specified to operate at 1.8 V ±5% (1.71–1.89 V), delivering the same 100 fs typical phase jitter and ±20 ppm temperature stability as at 2.5 V or 3.3 V. Its multi-voltage capability is built into the DSPLL core and requires no external configuration changes.
Is the 566CFA001181ACGR pin-compatible with other Si566 variants?
Yes, all Si566 devices - including 566CFA001181ACGR - share identical 6-pin 5×7 mm CLCC pinout and mechanical footprint regardless of frequency, output format, or Kv option. This enables drop-in replacement during qualification or revision updates without PCB layout changes.
