Product details
Overview
8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 from Renesas Electronics (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, 0.46 ps RMS phase jitter at 622.08 MHz (12 kHz–20 MHz), ±20 ppm total stability over 10 years, and operation from –40°C to +85°C. It serves as a high-stability timing source in wireless infrastructure baseband units.
For engineers reviewing the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 datasheet, 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 pinout, 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 application, or 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, FSEL-controlled dual-frequency switching behavior, LVPECL termination guidance, VCXO pull-range programmability, and industrial-grade thermal performance data - all confirmed for the exact CD-package 6-lead ceramic variant.
Technical Context
The 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 implements a fractional-N PLL using a 114.285 MHz fundamental-mode crystal reference, fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG VCO architecture, and configurable pre-divider (P), feedback divider (MINT/MFRAC), and post-divider (N) to synthesize output frequencies across two disjoint bands. Its dual-register configuration enables immediate frequency switching via the LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible FSEL pin.
It supports factory-programmable VCXO control voltage polarity and pull range (±12.5 to ±787.5 ppm), with oscillator gain (KV) ranging from 7.57 to 477.27 ppm/V at 3.3 V and 10–630 ppm/V at 2.5 V. The device uses internal pulldown resistors (50 kΩ) on FSEL and VC inputs and requires 50 Ω differential termination to VCC – 2 V for LVPECL outputs.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed frequency pair for 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8?
The 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 is factory-programmed with two specific frequencies determined at order time - one from the 15.476–866.67 MHz band and one from the 975–1,300 MHz band - both set to ≤218 Hz precision. Exact values are encoded in the order code (e.g., "0133" in the part number refers to a customer-specific configuration ID, not the frequencies themselves). The 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 does not ship with default generic frequencies; its dual-frequency values are fixed during manufacturing per customer specification.
Can the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 operate with a 2.5 V supply and still meet its jitter specification?
Yes, the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 is fully characterized at both 2.5 V ±5% and 3.3 V ±5%. Its RMS phase jitter of 0.46 ps (12 kHz–20 MHz, 622.08 MHz) is specified and guaranteed under 3.3 V conditions, and typical performance at 2.5 V remains within 10% of that value per AC characterization tables. The 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 maintains full functionality, including FSEL switching and VCXO tuning range, across both supply voltages.
How does the FSEL pin behave during power-up of the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8?
At power-up, the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 defaults to Frequency 0 (the first factory-programmed frequency) because the FSEL pin has an internal 50 kΩ pulldown resistor. This ensures deterministic startup behavior without requiring external biasing. The 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 achieves stable output within 10 ms of VCC reaching regulation, and frequency settling after an FSEL transition completes in ≤1 ms.
What termination is required for the LVPECL outputs of the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8?
The 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 LVPECL outputs (Q/nQ) require differential 50 Ω termination to VCC – 2 V. For 3.3 V operation, this means terminating each leg to 1.3 V; for 2.5 V operation, termination is effectively to 0.5 V (near ground), allowing simplified resistor networks or current-source terminations. The 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 datasheet provides two validated PCB layout examples (Figures 1A/1B and 2A–2C) to ensure signal integrity and minimize reflections.
Is the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 RoHS compliant and what is its package material composition?
Yes, the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 is RoHS 6-compliant (lead-free), packaged in a ceramic VFQFN body measuring 5 mm × 7 mm × 1.55 mm (CD package code). The package uses a ceramic substrate with gold-plated copper leads, rated for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) is 3, and the 8N3DV85EC-0133CDI8 is supplied in tape-and-reel format (suffix "8" in part number).
