Product details
Overview
591HB-CDG from Skyworks Solutions is a factory-programmed, low-jitter crystal oscillator (XO) with DSPLL® synthesis, delivering 148.352 MHz LVDS output at 3.3 V supply, ±20 ppm total stability, and 1 ps max RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz). It operates across –40 to +85 °C and targets high-speed serial timing in SDI video and FPGA clocking.
For engineers reviewing the 591HB-CDG datasheet, 591HB-CDG pinout, 591HB-CDG application, or 591HB-CDG equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for timing-critical embedded and communications systems.
Technical Context
The 591HB-CDG implements Skyworks' third-generation DSPLL® architecture, synthesizing its 148.352 MHz LVDS output from a fixed internal fundamental-mode crystal-eliminating frequency-specific crystals while ensuring high reliability and superior supply noise rejection. Its all-digital PLL enables precise jitter filtering and stable operation under noisy power conditions.
This Si591-series device uses a 6-pin 5×7 mm surface-mount package with OE on pin 1 (active-high), CLK+ on pin 4, CLK− on pin 5, VDD on pin 6, and GND on pin 3. It supports LVDS differential signaling with 0.7 VPP typical swing, 1.20 V common-mode level, and 45–55% duty cycle symmetry-meeting SONET/SDH and SD/HD SDI jitter requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Frequency | 148.352 MHz - precisely factory-configured for SDI video reference clocks and FPGA system synchronization. |
| Output Format | LVDS - differential signaling with 100 Ω termination, enabling robust noise immunity in high-density PCB layouts. |
| Total Stability | ±20 ppm - includes initial accuracy, temperature drift, aging (10 years @ 40 °C), and supply/load effects; suitable for industrial-grade timing. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | ≤1.0 ps (12 kHz–20 MHz) - meets SMPTE ST 259/292/424 and ITU-T G.823/G.824 jitter masks for broadcast video. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V (±10%) - compatible with standard logic rails; draws ≤100 mA typical in enabled mode. |
| Operating Temp | –40 to +85 °C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 for extended industrial and telecom environments. |

Pinout & Package
591HB-CDG is housed in a RoHS-compliant, 6-pin, 5×7 mm surface-mount ceramic package (package code "D" per ordering guide). Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pins are arranged in a single row with GND (pin 3), VDD (pin 6), CLK+ (pin 4), CLK− (pin 5), and OE (pin 1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-high enable input with internal 17 kΩ pull-up to VDD; asserts LVDS output when high, places outputs in high-impedance state when low. |
| 2 | No Connection (NC) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice-no external circuitry required. |
| 3 | GND | Electrical and case ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers; requires low-inductance PCB plane connection. |
| 4 | CLK+ | Positive LVDS output terminal; delivers 148.352 MHz signal referenced to CLK− with 100 Ω differential load. |
| 5 | CLK− | Complementary LVDS output terminal; forms true differential pair with CLK+ for EMI reduction and common-mode noise rejection. |
| 6 | VDD | 3.3 V power supply input; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF + 10 µF) required within 5 mm of pin for jitter-sensitive operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DSPLL® Synthesis | Enables any-frequency output (10–810 MHz) from one fixed crystal-reducing BOM count and eliminating custom crystal lead times. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si590BB148M352DGR | Si590-series variant with identical frequency, LVDS output, and ±20 ppm stability-but uses Si590 pinout (OE on pin 2, NC on pin 1). | Requires PCB layout revision due to swapped OE/NC pin positions; not drop-in compatible with 591HB-CDG footprint. | Select only if redesigning for Si590-series routing or sourcing legacy Si590 inventory. |
| AK2-148.352MHZ-E | Abracon XO with same 148.352 MHz LVDS output and ±20 ppm stability, but uses 3.2×5 mm package and achieves 1.2 ps max jitter (vs. 1.0 ps). | Better suited for space-constrained portable test gear; lacks DSPLL® supply noise rejection-requires cleaner power design. | Choose when board area is critical and power rail noise is well-controlled; verify jitter margin against system spec. |
Compared with Si590BB148M352DGR and AK2-148.352MHZ-E, the 591HB-CDG offers optimal balance of ultra-low jitter, industrial temperature support, and Si591-specific OE placement-making it preferred for new SDI and FPGA designs where layout reuse and jitter headroom are primary concerns.

FAQ
What output format and frequency does the 591HB-CDG provide?
The 591HB-CDG is factory-programmed to deliver a 148.352 MHz LVDS differential output signal. This frequency is optimized for SMPTE ST 292/424 HD/3G-SDI video standards and aligns with common FPGA transceiver reference clock requirements. The LVDS interface ensures robust noise immunity and compatibility with standard 100 Ω differential PCB traces.
What is the total frequency stability specification for the 591HB-CDG?
The 591HB-CDG has a total stability of ±20 ppm, covering initial accuracy (±1.5 ppm at +25 °C), temperature variation (±7 ppm over –40 to +85 °C), aging (10 years at 40 °C), and supply/load effects. This specification is confirmed in Table 2 of the official Skyworks Si590/591 datasheet Rev. 1.2 and applies directly to the 591HB-CDG configuration.
Which package and pinout does the 591HB-CDG use?
The 591HB-CDG uses the 5×7 mm, 6-pin surface-mount package with Si591-series pinout: Pin 1 = OE (active-high), Pin 2 = NC, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = CLK+, Pin 5 = CLK−, Pin 6 = VDD. This matches Figure 2 and Table 10 in the Skyworks datasheet and differs from Si590 by relocating OE to pin 1 for simplified enable control routing.
Does the 591HB-CDG support output enable functionality, and how is it implemented?
Yes-the 591HB-CDG includes an active-high Output Enable (OE) input on pin 1, with an internal 17 kΩ pull-up resistor to VDD. When OE is high, the LVDS outputs are active; when OE is low, both CLK+ and CLK− enter high-impedance state. No external pull-up is required, and OE can be driven directly from 3.3 V logic.
What is the phase jitter performance of the 591HB-CDG, and over what bandwidth is it specified?
The 591HB-CDG delivers ≤1.0 ps RMS phase jitter measured over the 12 kHz to 20 MHz offset bandwidth, per Table 4 of the Skyworks datasheet. At its nominal 148.352 MHz output, this meets SMPTE ST 259/292/424 and ITU-T G.823 jitter masks-enabling direct use in broadcast video and telecom timing without external jitter cleaning.
