Product details
Overview
8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 from Renesas (formerly IDT) is an LVPECL dual-frequency programmable voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) with factory-programmed frequencies in two bands: 15.476–866.67 MHz and 975–1,300 MHz, ±218 Hz frequency resolution, RMS phase jitter of 0.46 ps (12 kHz–20 MHz), and operation from -40°C to +85°C. It serves as a high-stability, low-jitter timing source in wireless infrastructure baseband and fronthaul clocking.
For engineers reviewing the 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 datasheet, 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 pinout, 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 application, or 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application roles, and validated alternative options - all grounded in the official IDT8N3DV85CCD Rev A datasheet and Renesas product documentation.
Technical Context
The 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 integrates a 114.285 MHz fundamental-mode crystal with a fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG PLL featuring fractional-N synthesis (MINT + MFRAC feedback dividers), a 2-bit pre-divider (P), and a 7-bit post-divider (N). Its architecture enables precise dual-frequency selection via the LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible FSEL pin without reconfiguration delay.
It implements VCXO control using a tunable analog voltage input (VC) with programmable gain (7.57–477 ppm/V at 3.3 V), linearity within ±0.4% BSL, and modulation bandwidth up to 100 kHz - supporting dynamic frequency pulling for jitter attenuation and synchronization in telecom timing loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | LVPECL differential pair (Q/nQ); requires 50 Ω termination to VCC – 2 V for proper DC bias and signal integrity. |
| Frequency Range | Two factory-programmed bands: 15.476–866.67 MHz and 975–1,300 MHz; supports any frequency within bands at ≤218 Hz step resolution. |
| RMS Phase Jitter | 0.46 ps (typical) at 622.08 MHz, 12 kHz–20 MHz integration; meets stringent OC-192/SONET and CPRI fronthaul timing requirements. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5%; draws 120–160 mA depending on supply and temperature - impacts thermal design and PCB power delivery. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C ambient; qualified for industrial-grade wireless infrastructure equipment including macrocell BTS and small cell gateways. |
| VCXO Pull Range | Factory-programmable from ±12.5 ppm to ±787.5 ppm; defines maximum frequency deviation under control voltage tuning for loop stability margin. |
| FSEL Interface | LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible digital input with internal 50 kΩ pulldown; selects between two preloaded frequencies with <1 ms settling time. |
Pinout & Package
6-lead ceramic VFQFN package (5 mm × 7 mm × 1.55 mm, RoHS 6-compliant, CD suffix); surface-mount, lead-free, moisture-sensitive level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC | VCXO control voltage input | Analog tuning port; accepts 0–VCC range; gain and linearity are factory-programmed per order code. |
| FSEL | Frequency select input | Digital control pin with internal 50 kΩ pulldown; selects between Frequency 0 (default) and Frequency 1; LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible. |
| VEE | Negative power supply | Ground reference for LVPECL outputs; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| Q / nQ | Differential LVPECL clock outputs | True complementary outputs; require matched 50 Ω terminations to VCC – 2 V to maintain common-mode voltage and minimize duty-cycle distortion. |
| VCC | Positive power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF bulk + 100 nF ceramic near pin. |

Use Value: 0.44–0.77 ps RMS phase jitter (500–1300 MHz band) minimizes aperture uncertainty and preserves ENOB in wideband RF sampling applications. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-frequency VCXO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338A-B-GM | Quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator with integrated crystal; no VCXO tuning capability; higher power (180 mA typical). | Used where multi-frequency synthesis and dynamic reprogramming are required; not suitable for analog-controlled jitter attenuation loops. | Select when flexibility outweighs analog tuning needs and board space permits larger 4×4 mm QFN package. |
| 8N3SV78EC-0002CDI | Single-frequency LVPECL VCXO (622.08 MHz only); same CD package, identical pinout, but lacks FSEL and second frequency. | Applicable only in fixed-frequency designs requiring VCXO pull range; cannot replace dual-frequency switching functionality. | Choose only if application uses one frequency exclusively and requires identical thermal/mechanical footprint. |
Compared with Si5338A-B-GM and 8N3SV78EC-0002CDI, the 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 uniquely combines factory-programmed dual-frequency agility, analog VCXO tuning, and sub-0.5 ps jitter in a compact 5×7 mm ceramic package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-stability telecom timing where both frequency switching and loop control are essential.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed frequency pair for 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8?
The 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 is programmed with two specific frequencies defined by its order code "0008"; per Renesas' FemtoClock NG ordering guide, "0008" corresponds to 156.25 MHz and 622.08 MHz - both factory-set with ≤218 Hz precision and supported across the full operating temperature range.
Does 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 support 2.5 V and 3.3 V supplies simultaneously?
No - the 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 operates from either a 2.5 V ±5% or 3.3 V ±5% supply, selected at factory programming (option codes B/F or A/E/K/L respectively); it does not support dual-supply operation. The supply voltage determines output swing, current draw, and VCXO gain calibration.
How is the VCXO pull range configured for 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8?
The VCXO pull range for 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 is factory-programmed and fixed per order code; "0008" maps to a typical ±125 ppm pull range at 3.3 V supply. This value is stored in on-chip ROM and cannot be altered in-system - only selected at time of order.
Can 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 be used with AC-coupled LVPECL loads?
Yes - the 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 supports AC-coupled LVPECL termination per Figures 1A/1B and 2A–2C in the datasheet; however, DC bias must be restored at the receiver end using appropriate termination (e.g., 50 Ω to VCC – 2 V), and common-mode voltage shift must be accounted for in receiver input specifications.
What is the startup time and frequency settling behavior of 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8?
The 8N3DV85AC-0008CDI8 has a typical startup time of 10 ms after power-on, and changes frequency within 1 ms after FSEL state transition - with no phase discontinuity or glitch, due to seamless register-switching architecture inside the FemtoClock® NG PLL.
