Product details
Overview
8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 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 precision timing source in wireless infrastructure baseband and fronthaul clocking.
For engineers reviewing the 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 datasheet, 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 pinout, 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 application, or 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, FSEL-controlled dual-frequency switching behavior, VCXO pull-range programmability, and real-world timing performance metrics for telecom-grade clock design.
Technical Context
The 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 integrates a 114.285 MHz 3rd-overtone crystal with a fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG PLL featuring fractional-N synthesis (MINT + MFRAC feedback dividers), 2-bit pre-divider (P), and 7-bit post-divider (N). Its architecture enables high-resolution frequency generation across two disjoint bands without external components.
Frequency selection is controlled by the LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible FSEL pin, which switches instantly between two factory-programmed configurations stored in ROM. The VC input accepts 0–VCC tuning voltage, supporting programmable pull ranges from ±12.5 ppm to ±787.5 ppm with oscillator gain (KV) of 7.57–477.27 ppm/V at 3.3 V or 10–630 ppm/V at 2.5 V.

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-output, I²C-programmable XO/VCXO; no FSEL pin; wider 10 kHz–2100 MHz range; higher typical phase jitter (0.65 ps) | Requires microcontroller interface and firmware support; lacks hardware-selectable dual frequency | Choose when field reprogramming or >2 frequencies are needed, and jitter budget allows margin |
| 8A34002 | Quad-output, JESD204B-optimized clock generator; includes integrated jitter cleaner; 3.3 V only; larger 7 mm × 5 mm package | Targets high-speed data converter synchronization; adds complexity and cost for simple dual-clock needs | Choose only if JESD204B compliance, ultra-low jitter (<0.2 ps), or multiple synchronized outputs are mandatory |
Compared with Si510-PROG and 8A34002, the 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 offers deterministic, zero-latency dual-frequency switching via a single GPIO, minimal board space, and optimized jitter performance for fixed dual-rate telecom timing-without software dependencies or extra power consumption.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed frequency pair for 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8?
The 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 is programmed with two specific frequencies per order code; "0087" in the part number corresponds to a documented default configuration - typically 122.88 MHz and 245.76 MHz for CPRI/eCPRI applications. Exact frequencies are set at IDT/Renesas during manufacturing and cannot be altered in the field. Confirmation requires referencing the original order documentation or contacting Renesas directly with the full part number and lot trace.
Does 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 support 2.5 V and 3.3 V supplies simultaneously?
No, the 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 operates on either 2.5 V ±5% or 3.3 V ±5%, selected at time of order (indicated by option code K/L or A/B/E/F). It does not support dual-supply operation. Supply voltage must match the option code specified in the part number; using an incorrect voltage may cause functional failure or damage. The device draws 120–160 mA depending on supply and operating conditions.
Can the VCXO pull range of 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 be modified after shipment?
No, the VCXO pull range (e.g., ±50 ppm, ±100 ppm) and control voltage polarity are factory-programmed and permanently stored in ROM. They cannot be changed post-manufacturing. The "K" in 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 indicates ±20 ppm total stability (including aging and temp drift) over 10 years at -40°C to +85°C, per option code mapping in the IDT ordering guide.
What is the startup time and frequency settling behavior of 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 after FSEL toggling?
The 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 has a typical startup time of 10 ms after power-up and achieves full frequency lock within 1 ms after FSEL pin state change. This rapid settling is enabled by the fractional-N PLL's direct register-switching architecture - no re-locking delay or phase discontinuity occurs. Output remains valid and jitter-compliant throughout the transition, critical for hitless frequency handover in live systems.
Is external termination required for the LVPECL outputs of 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8?
Yes, proper 50 Ω differential termination to VCC – 2 V is mandatory for 8N3DV85KC-0087CDI8 LVPECL outputs (Q/nQ) to meet AC specifications and ensure signal integrity. For 3.3 V supply, terminate to 1.3 V; for 2.5 V, terminate to 0.5 V. Recommended topologies include Thevenin or AC-coupled terminations per Figures 1A–1B and 2A–2C in the datasheet. Omitting termination causes excessive overshoot, duty-cycle distortion, and degraded jitter performance.
