Product details
Overview
8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 from Renesas Electronics (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, ±20ppm total stability (Option K), and RMS phase jitter of 0.46ps (12kHz–20MHz at 622.08MHz).
For engineers reviewing the 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 datasheet, 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 pinout, 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 application, or 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 equivalent, this device supports rapid frequency switching via FSEL control, operates across –40°C to +85°C, and integrates fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG PLL synthesis with fractional-N feedback for low-noise, high-flexibility timing in 5mm × 7mm ceramic VCXO modules.
Technical Context
The 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 implements a fractional-N PLL architecture using a 114.285MHz fundamental-mode crystal reference, with configurable pre-divider (P), integer/fractional feedback divider (MINT/MFRAC), and post-divider (N). Its VCO operates in the 1950–2600MHz range, enabling wideband synthesis while maintaining sub-picosecond jitter performance.
Frequency selection is controlled by a single LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible FSEL pin that toggles between two factory-programmed configurations. The VC input accepts 0–VCC tuning voltage with programmable gain (7.57–477.27 ppm/V depending on supply), supporting precise pull-range calibration from ±12.5ppm to ±787.5ppm.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed frequency pair for 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8?
The exact factory-programmed frequencies for 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 are defined by its order code suffix "0201", which corresponds to specific default frequencies documented in Renesas' FemtoClock NG Ceramic-Package XO and VCXO Ordering Product Information. These frequencies fall within the supported ranges (15.476–866.67MHz or 975–1300MHz) and are set at manufacturing; they cannot be altered in the field. The 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 retains full functionality only when operated within those two pre-configured values.
Does 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 support both 2.5V and 3.3V supply voltages simultaneously?
No - the 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 operates on either 2.5V ±5% or 3.3V ±5%, but not both at once. The supply voltage is fixed per unit based on its option code ("K" indicates 3.3V ±5%). Supply selection determines key parameters including oscillator gain (7.57–477.27 ppm/V), output voltage swing (0.6–1.0V p-p), and power consumption (130–160mA). Mixing supplies risks violating absolute maximum ratings and invalidates AC/DC specifications.
How does the FSEL pin function in 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8?
The FSEL pin on the 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 is an LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible digital input with internal 50kΩ pulldown. When driven low (≤0.7V), it selects Frequency 0; when driven high (≥2.0V for 3.3V supply), it selects Frequency 1. Frequency switching occurs within 1ms, with no glitch or runt pulse. The 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 does not require external pull-up or debouncing circuitry due to its built-in termination.
What is the significance of the "CD" package code in 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8?
The "CD" in 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 denotes a lead-free, 6-lead ceramic VFQFN package measuring 5mm × 7mm × 1.55mm, compliant with RoHS 6. This package features metalized terminations compatible with standard reflow profiles, zero moisture sensitivity level (MSL1), and thermal resistance (θJA) of 49.4°C/W under still air - critical for thermal management in densely packed telecom modules where the 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 is commonly deployed.
Can the VC input of 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 be left unconnected?
No - the VC pin of the 8N3DV85KC-0201CDI8 must be actively driven with a stable DC voltage between 0V and VCC to maintain specified frequency accuracy and stability. Leaving VC floating violates the device's operating conditions and may cause frequency drift, increased jitter, or oscillation failure. For fixed-frequency operation, VC should be tied to VCC/2 via a low-noise voltage divider or precision DAC output, as nominal tuning voltage is VCC/2.
