Overview
8N3QV01EG-0102CDI from Renesas Electronics is a quad-frequency programmable VCXO using fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG technology, delivering LVPECL differential output with 15.476–866.67 MHz and 975–1300 MHz frequency range, ±4.5 to ±754.5 ppm absolute pull-range (APR), and 0.487 ps RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) at 156.25 MHz - deployed in wireless infrastructure baseband timing and telecom line-card clock synthesis.
For engineers reviewing the 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI datasheet, 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI pinout, 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI application, or 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (CD10 ceramic 5 mm × 7 mm), I²C-programmable PLL register architecture, FSEL0/FSEL1 default-frequency selection logic, VCXO control voltage linearity (±0.1% BSL), and LVPECL termination guidance for 50 Ω differential routing.
Technical Context
The 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI integrates a 114.285 MHz 3rd-overtone crystal oscillator, a fractional-N PLL with 7-bit integer (MINT) and 18-bit fractional (MFRAC) feedback dividers, pre-divider (P), and post-divider (N), enabling precise frequency synthesis across two disjoint bands. Its VCO operates at 1950–2600 MHz, supporting output resolution of 435.9 Hz ÷ N.
It implements four factory-programmed configuration registers (P₀–P₃, MINT₀–MINT₃, MFRAC₀–MFRAC₃, N₀–N₃), selected by FSEL0/FSEL1 pins at power-up and reprogrammable via I²C. The device supports APR programming via ADC_GAIN[5:0] register (7.57–477.27 ppm/V at 3.3 V) and features internal pulldown/pullup resistors on all digital control inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 15.476–866.67 MHz and 975–1300 MHz - covers Ethernet, CPRI, OTU4, and SerDes reference clocking with dual-band flexibility. |
| RMS Phase Jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | 0.487 ps typical at 156.25 MHz - meets stringent OC-192/SONET and 10G/25G Ethernet jitter budgets. |
| Absolute Pull Range (APR) | Programmable ±4.5 to ±754.5 ppm - enables fine-tuning for network synchronization (e.g., IEEE 1588 PTP slave lock). |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5% - dual-voltage support simplifies integration into mixed-supply telecom platforms. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade wireless infrastructure and carrier-grade networking equipment. |
| Output Interface | LVPECL differential (Q/nQ) - delivers 0.55–1.0 Vpp swing into 50 Ω, compatible with FPGA transceivers and ASIC clock inputs. |
| Control Interface | I²C (SDATA/SCLK) + dual LVCMOS/LVTTL FSEL0/FSEL1 - enables both factory-default boot and field reprogramming without hardware change. |
Pinout & Package
8N3QV01EG-0102CDI uses a RoHS-compliant 10-lead ceramic CLCC package (5 mm × 7 mm × 1.55 mm, package code CD10), with 2.54 mm pitch and metallized bottom pad per IPC-7351B NSMD land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VC) | VCXO control voltage input | Analog tuning port; accepts 0–VCC range; gain set by ADC_GAIN[5:0]; linearity ±0.1% BSL ensures stable frequency vs. voltage response. |
| 2 (OE) | Output enable (LVCMOS/LVTTL) | Asynchronous active-high control; drives Q/nQ into high-Z when low - enables dynamic clock gating in power-aware systems. |
| 3 (VEE) | Negative supply | Ground reference for LVPECL outputs; must be connected to system ground with low-inductance path to minimize jitter. |
| 4 (FSEL0), 5 (FSEL1) | Default frequency select inputs | LVCMOS/LVTTL inputs with internal pulldowns; select one of four factory-configured PLL register sets at power-up (00→Freq0, 11→Freq3). |
| 6 (Q), 7 (nQ) | Differential LVPECL clock outputs | Low-impedance emitter-follower pair; requires 50 Ω termination to VCC–2 V (3.3 V) or ground (2.5 V); 100–425 ps rise/fall time. |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive supply | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5%; separate VCC/VEE rails isolate PLL core from output stage noise - critical for sub-0.5 ps jitter performance. |
| 9 (SDATA) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output / CMOS input; supports standard-mode I²C (100 kHz); used to read/write PLL configuration registers and APR settings. |
| 10 (SCLK) | I²C clock input | LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible clock; synchronizes register access; internal pullup enables bus operation with single external master. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-frequency default selection | Four independent PLL configurations stored in volatile I²C registers, selectable at power-up via FSEL0/FSEL1 - eliminates need for external configuration EEPROM. |
| Fractional-N PLL with delta-sigma modulation | Enables ultra-fine frequency resolution (435.9 Hz ÷ N) and robust noise shaping - achieves <0.5 ps jitter while supporting wide output band coverage. |
| Programmable APR via ADC_GAIN register | 6-bit ADC_GAIN[5:0] controls oscillator gain from 7.57 to 477.27 ppm/V - allows APR optimization for specific loop bandwidth and stability requirements. |
| Internal input biasing | FSEL0/FSEL1 have internal pulldowns; OE, SCLK, SDATA have internal pullups - reduces external component count and PCB footprint in space-constrained modules. |
| High-reference-frequency architecture | 114.285 MHz crystal oscillator minimizes multiplication-induced phase noise - key enabler for meeting ITU-T G.8262 EEC-2 wander and jitter masks. |

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; fixed 10-pin SOIC package; max output 210 MHz; no APR programming - only frequency programmable via I²C. | Limited to single-ended clock trees; unsuitable for high-speed differential SerDes interfaces requiring LVPECL drive strength and noise immunity. | Select only if system uses CMOS-only receivers and operates below 210 MHz; verify layout can accommodate higher jitter (1.2 ps typical). |
| 8A34002 | Multi-output (4x LVDS/LVPECL); includes integrated jitter cleaner; requires external crystal; larger 32-pin QFN; higher power (220 mA). | Targets jitter-cleaning applications (e.g., retiming 10G WAN PHY); adds complexity and cost where simple VCXO functionality suffices. | Choose only when sub-0.1 ps integrated jitter cleaning is required; avoid if design needs compact size, low power (<150 mA), or direct VCXO control. |
Compared with Si510-PROG and 8A34002, the 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI uniquely balances quad-frequency flexibility, LVPECL output, APR programmability, and compact ceramic packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rate telecom and industrial timing where differential signaling and fine-tuning are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed default frequency set for 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI?
The 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI is factory-programmed with four default frequencies corresponding to order code "0102": 100 MHz, 122.88 MHz, 125 MHz, and 156.25 MHz. These are loaded into registers P₀–P₃, MINT₀–MINT₃, MFRAC₀–MFRAC₃, and N₀–N₃ at power-up and selected via FSEL0/FSEL1 pin states. The exact values are confirmed in Renesas' FemtoClock NG Ordering Product Information document for code 0102.
Does 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI support both 2.5 V and 3.3 V supply operation simultaneously?
No - the 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI operates exclusively at either 2.5 V or 3.3 V, as defined by its option code "E" (3.3 V ±5%). It does not support dual-supply or auto-detect modes. Supply voltage must be stable within ±5% tolerance; VCC and VEE must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed adjacent to pins 8 and 3 respectively to maintain sub-0.5 ps jitter performance.
How is the Absolute Pull Range (APR) programmed on 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI?
The APR of 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI is programmed via the 6-bit ADC_GAIN[5:0] register over I²C, which sets oscillator gain from 7.57 ppm/V to 477.27 ppm/V at 3.3 V. Combined with VC input range (0–VCC), this yields APR from ±4.5 ppm to ±754.5 ppm. The setting is volatile and must be reloaded after each power cycle unless shadowed externally.
Can 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI generate frequencies outside the 15.476–866.67 MHz and 975–1300 MHz ranges?
No - the 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI's PLL architecture and VCO range (1950–2600 MHz) constrain valid output frequencies strictly to those two bands. Frequencies between 866.67 MHz and 975 MHz are unsupported due to VCO and divider limitations. Attempting to program values outside these ranges results in undefined behavior or failure to lock.
What termination is required for the LVPECL outputs of 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI at 3.3 V supply?
At 3.3 V, the 8N3QV01EG-0102CDI LVPECL outputs (Q/nQ) require termination to VCC – 2 V = 1.3 V. Recommended topology uses two 84 Ω resistors from Q and nQ to 3.3 V, plus a 125 Ω resistor from the differential pair midpoint to 1.3 V - forming a Thevenin-equivalent 50 Ω load per leg. This matches the device's 50 Ω differential drive capability and minimizes reflections on high-speed PCB traces.
