Product details
Overview
8N3DV85FC-0101CDI from Renesas (formerly IDT) is a LVPECL dual-frequency programmable voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) used for high-precision clock generation in telecom and wireless infrastructure. It delivers two factory-programmed output frequencies between 15.476MHz–866.67MHz or 975MHz–1,300MHz, with 218Hz frequency resolution, ±12.5 to ±787.5ppm VCXO pull range, and RMS phase jitter of 0.46ps (12kHz–20MHz) at 622.08MHz.
For engineers reviewing the 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI datasheet, 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI pinout, 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI application, or 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, pin-level design meaning, real-world application deployment patterns, and validated alternative options for dual-frequency timing systems requiring low-jitter, industrial-temperature stability, and flexible VCXO tuning.
Technical Context
The 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI integrates a 114.285MHz third-overtone crystal with a fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG PLL featuring fractional-N feedback (MINT + MFRAC), pre-divider (P), and post-divider (N). Its architecture enables precise dual-frequency synthesis across two disjoint bands while maintaining sub-picosecond phase jitter performance.
Frequency selection is controlled via the LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible FSEL pin, which switches between two factory-configured registers without glitching. The VC input accepts 0–VCC control voltage with programmable oscillator gain (7.57–477.27 ppm/V) and linearity within ±0.4% BSL, supporting closed-loop servo applications in synchronization and jitter attenuation systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | LVPECL differential pair (Q/nQ); requires 50Ω termination to VCC–2V for proper DC bias and signal integrity. |
| Frequency Range | Two disjoint bands: 15.476–866.67MHz and 975–1,300MHz; supports any two frequencies within these ranges at 218Hz resolution. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 0.46ps typical (12kHz–20MHz integration) at 622.08MHz; enables compliance with SONET OC-48/STM-16 and SyncE jitter masks. |
| VCXO Pull Range | Factory-programmable from ±12.5ppm to ±787.5ppm; defines maximum frequency deviation under analog control voltage tuning. |

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; no built-in crystal; requires external 10MHz reference; higher integration but larger 4×4mm QFN. | Used where multiple synchronized clocks (up to 4) are needed; less suitable for pure VCXO holdover due to lack of integrated crystal and analog tuning. | Select when system requires >2 output frequencies or I²C-based dynamic reconfiguration; avoid if analog VCXO tuning or single-chip simplicity is critical. |
| AK210-01-100.000 | Fixed dual-frequency VCXO (100MHz/125MHz); no factory programming flexibility; ±50ppm stability; same 5×7mm ceramic package. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, volume OEM designs with static frequency needs; lacks programmable pull range or control voltage polarity. | Select for production runs with unchanging frequency pairs and tighter cost targets; avoid when field-tunable VCXO behavior or custom frequency combinations are required. |
Compared with Si5338A-B-GM and AK210-01-100.000, the 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI uniquely combines integrated crystal, analog VCXO tuning, dual-frequency selection via single pin, and industrial-grade jitter performance in a compact 5×7mm footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability telecom timing applications requiring factory-configured flexibility without software overhead.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed frequency pair for 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI?
The 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI is configured with two specific frequencies defined by its order code "0101": 100.000MHz and 125.000MHz. These values are permanently stored in on-chip ROM during manufacturing and cannot be altered in the field. The FSEL pin toggles between them, and both fall within the 15.476–866.67MHz band supported by the device.
Does 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI support 2.5V and 3.3V supply simultaneously?
No, the 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI operates on a single supply rail-either 2.5V ±5% or 3.3V ±5%, as indicated by its option code "F" (2.5V) or "A/E/K". The "FC" suffix confirms it is specified for 2.5V operation. Using 3.3V would exceed absolute maximum ratings and risk permanent damage to the 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI.
Can the VCXO pull range of 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI be modified after shipment?
No-the VCXO pull range, control voltage polarity, and both output frequencies are factory-programmed into non-volatile configuration registers and are immutable after shipment. The 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI does not support in-system reprogramming; any change requires ordering a new part number with updated configuration codes.
What termination is required for the LVPECL outputs of 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI?
For 2.5V operation, the 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI's Q/nQ outputs require termination to VCC – 2V ≈ 0.5V. Recommended configurations include dual 50Ω resistors to ground (Figure 2C) or Thevenin equivalents like 50Ω series + 18Ω shunt. Improper termination causes duty cycle distortion, increased jitter, and degraded 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI output integrity.
Is 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI compliant with ITU-T G.8262 for EEC Option 1?
Yes-when configured with ±20ppm total stability (option K/L), the 8N3DV85FC-0101CDI meets G.8262 EEC Option 1 requirements for enhanced primary reference clocks. Its 0.46ps RMS phase jitter at 622.08MHz and –127dBc/Hz @ 1MHz offset satisfy the noise floor and wander specifications mandated for SyncE applications.
