Product details
Overview
8N3DV85AC-0016CDI from Renesas (formerly IDT) is a LVPECL dual-frequency programmable voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) with factory-programmed frequencies in the 15.476–866.67 MHz and 975–1,300 MHz bands, 0.46 ps RMS phase jitter at 622.08 MHz (12 kHz–20 MHz), ±20 ppm total stability (Option K), and operation from -40°C to +85°C. It serves as a high-precision, switchable clock source in wireless infrastructure baseband units.
For engineers reviewing the 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI datasheet, 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI pinout, 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI application, or 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, FSEL-controlled dual-frequency switching behavior, LVPECL termination guidance, VCXO pull-range programmability, and industrial-temperature timing performance - all confirmed from the official IDT8N3DV85CCD Rev A datasheet.
Technical Context
The 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI implements a fractional-N PLL using a 114.285 MHz fundamental-mode crystal reference, fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG VCO architecture, and configurable P/M/N dividers to synthesize two discrete output frequencies. Its control loop includes a delta-sigma modulator for noise shaping and supports immediate frequency switching via the LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible FSEL pin.
It features factory-programmable VCXO parameters including pull range (±12.5 to ±787.5 ppm), control voltage polarity, and oscillator gain (7.57–477.27 ppm/V depending on supply), with tuning linearity (BSL variation ±0.4%) and modulation bandwidth (100 kHz) specified across 2.5 V or 3.3 V operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VCXO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-PROG | CMOS output only; no LVPECL; uses internal XO + digital PLL; higher typical phase jitter (0.8 ps) | Not suitable for high-speed differential signaling; limited to single-ended clock trees | Select only if LVPECL is unnecessary and board space constraints favor smaller 3.2 × 2.5 mm package |
| AK20E-010000 | Fixed dual-frequency (100/125 MHz); no VCXO tuning; ±50 ppm stability; 0.55 ps jitter @ 125 MHz | Lacks voltage-controlled pull range - unsuitable for PLL lock range extension or drift compensation | Choose when dual-frequency switching is needed but closed-loop tuning is not required |
Compared with Si510-PROG and AK20E-010000, the 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI uniquely combines LVPECL outputs, factory-programmable VCXO pull range, dual-band frequency coverage (up to 1.3 GHz), and ±20 ppm stability - making it the only option among the three qualified for telecom-grade holdover and jitter-critical SerDes applications.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed frequency pair for 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI?
The 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI is configured with two specific frequencies defined by its order code "0016": one in the 15.476–866.67 MHz band and one in the 975–1,300 MHz band. Exact values are set at IDT's factory per customer specification and documented in the shipping certificate; standard default pairs include 122.88 MHz / 983.04 MHz for CPRI/eCPRI applications. The 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI does not support field reprogramming of these frequencies.
Does 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI support 2.5 V and 3.3 V simultaneously?
No - the 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI operates from either a 2.5 V ±5% or 3.3 V ±5% supply, selected at time of order (Option Code B/F vs. A/E/K/L). The 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI cannot dynamically switch between voltages; VCC must be stable at one nominal level during operation. Both supply options deliver identical functional performance, though current draw and oscillator gain (ppm/V) differ per datasheet Tables 4A–4B and 5B.
How is the VCXO pull range configured for 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI?
The VCXO pull range of the 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI is factory-programmed and fixed per order - selectable from ±12.5 ppm to ±787.5 ppm in discrete steps. This parameter is encoded in the order code suffix (e.g., "0016") and cannot be altered post-manufacture. The 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI uses internal register settings to configure KV (oscillator gain) and linearity; actual tuning range is determined by applying 0–VCC to the VC pin.
What is the maximum allowable load capacitance on the FSEL pin of 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI?
The FSEL pin of the 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI has a typical input capacitance of 5.5 pF and an internal 50 kΩ pulldown resistor. It is designed for direct connection to LVCMOS/LVTTL logic drivers with minimal trace length; no external capacitive loading beyond PCB parasitics (<2 pF) is recommended. Exceeding 10 pF may degrade edge rate and increase setup/hold timing uncertainty, potentially causing unreliable frequency selection during power-up or mode transitions.
Can 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI drive unterminated 50 Ω transmission lines?
No - the 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI LVPECL outputs (Q/nQ) require proper DC termination to VCC – 2 V to establish correct common-mode voltage and output swing. Driving unterminated lines causes reflections, degraded jitter, and potential signal integrity failure. For 3.3 V supply, use dual 84 Ω resistors to ground and 125 Ω to VCC; for 2.5 V, use 50 Ω to ground (Figure 2C). The 8N3DV85AC-0016CDI datasheet specifies termination in Figures 1A–1B and 2A–2C.
