Product details
Overview
8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 from Integrated Device Technology is a LVCMOS dual-frequency programmable VCXO using fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG technology, delivering 156.25MHz and 125MHz factory-programmed outputs with ±50ppm temperature stability, 0.65ps RMS phase jitter (12kHz–20MHz), and operation across –40°C to +85°C for wireless infrastructure timing control.
For engineers reviewing the 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 datasheet, 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 pinout, 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 application, or 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-frequency switching via FSEL, ±50ppm total stability over 10 years, LVCMOS output drive at 2.5V/3.3V, and ceramic 5mm × 7mm × 1.55mm RoHS-compliant packaging.
Technical Context
The 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 integrates a 114.285MHz 3rd-overtone crystal oscillator with a fractional-N PLL featuring 7-bit integer (MINT) and 18-bit fractional (MFRAC) feedback dividers, enabling precise frequency synthesis from 15.476MHz to 260MHz at 218Hz resolution. Its VCXO architecture supports analog tuning via VC input with programmable oscillator gain (10–630 ppm/V).
Frequency selection is implemented through a single LVCMOS-compatible FSEL pin that toggles between two factory-configured frequencies in ≤1ms, while internal ROM stores both configurations. The device uses delta-sigma modulation for noise shaping and achieves low phase noise via high-reference-frequency multiplication and optimized loop filtering.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VCXO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-PROG | Single-frequency, I²C-programmable XO/VCXO; no FSEL pin; ±20ppm stability option available | Lacks dual-frequency hardware switching; requires firmware intervention for frequency change | Choose when design needs field-programmability and tighter stability, but can accept software-based reconfiguration latency |
| AK20E-156.2500T | Fixed 156.25MHz LVCMOS VCXO; ±50ppm stability; same CD package; no second frequency or FSEL | Provides identical jitter and thermal performance at single frequency only | Choose when only one reference is needed and board space must be minimized - eliminates FSEL routing and associated logic |
Compared with Si510-PROG and AK20E-156.2500T, the 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 uniquely delivers hardware-switched dual frequencies in a single footprint, enabling real-time clock domain adaptation without software or external memory - critical for 5G NR TDD frame structure alignment and multi-rate optical transport.

FAQ
What are the factory-programmed frequencies for 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8?
The 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 is factory-programmed to output 156.25MHz and 125MHz - confirmed by its order code suffix "0168", which maps to these two frequencies per IDT's FemtoClock NG ordering documentation. Both frequencies are stored in on-chip ROM and selected exclusively via the FSEL pin; no external programming is required after soldering.
Does 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 support 2.5V operation?
No, the 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 operates exclusively at 3.3V ±5%, as indicated by Option Code "E" in its part number. While the broader IDT8N0DV85 family includes 2.5V variants (e.g., Option Code B or F), this specific variant is rated for VCC = 3.135V to 3.465V and draws 135–163mA under those conditions.
How is the ±50ppm temperature stability achieved in 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8?
The ±50ppm temperature stability in 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 is achieved through Option Code E, which specifies tighter crystal calibration and compensation over –40°C to +85°C. This includes enhanced oven-like thermal design of the internal 114.285MHz 3rd-overtone crystal and factory-trimmed PLL loop parameters - verified per Table 5B of the datasheet.
Can the pull range of 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 be modified after shipment?
No, the absolute pull range (APR) of the 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 is factory-programmed and fixed; it cannot be altered post-manufacture. The APR value is encoded in the order code and configured during final test. For designs requiring adjustable APR, IDT offers programmable variants like the IDT8N3QVxx series with I²C interface.
What is the function of Pin 5 (DNU) on 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8?
Pin 5 (DNU) on the 8N0DV85EA-0168CDI8 is a do-not-use terminal with no internal connection. It must remain unconnected and unstubbed on the PCB to prevent parasitic capacitance or unintended coupling that could degrade phase noise or cause signal integrity issues near the sensitive VC and Q pins.
