Product details
Overview
8N4S270EC-1088CDI from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a factory-frequency-programmable LVDS crystal oscillator using fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG PLL technology. It delivers a single 2.5V/3.3V LVDS differential clock output, supports 15.476–866.67MHz and 975–1300MHz frequency ranges with ≤218Hz resolution, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for wireless infrastructure timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI datasheet, 8N4S270EC-1088CDI pinout, 8N4S270EC-1088CDI application, or 8N4S270EC-1088CDI equivalent, key selection criteria include its fractional/integer PLL feedback modes, RMS phase jitter down to 0.232ps (12kHz–20MHz), ±20ppm frequency stability (Option K), and 6-pin ceramic 5mm × 7mm package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 8N4S270EC-1088CDI integrates a 3rd-overtone internal crystal (100.000MHz or 114.285MHz) driving a delta-sigma fractional-N PLL with configurable pre-divider (P), integer/fractional feedback divider (MINT/MFRAC), and post-divider (N). Its architecture enables precise frequency synthesis while minimizing multiplication-induced phase noise.
It features asynchronous LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible OE control (pin 1), dual LVDS outputs (Q/nQ on pins 4/5), and operates from either 2.5V or 3.3V supply. The device uses integer PLL feedback by default for improved phase noise performance in high-frequency bands (≥500MHz), as confirmed by order code "1088" mapping to fXTAL = 100.000MHz and integer mode.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338A-D-GM | 4-output I2C-programmable clock generator; wider voltage range (1.8–3.3V); higher power (120mA typ) | Supports multi-clock domain synthesis; not a drop-in replacement due to different pinout and interface | Select when flexible post-fab frequency tuning or multiple synchronized outputs are required |
| 8N4SV76EC-0001CDI | Same family, 6-pin CD package, but nOE active-low control and VCXO capability (±100ppm pull range) | Used where dynamic frequency adjustment via analog voltage is needed, e.g., phase-lock loops with DAC control | Choose for applications requiring tunable output (e.g., jitter attenuation, frequency margining) rather than fixed-frequency precision |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI?
The 8N4S270EC-1088CDI is factory-programmed to 1088 MHz, as indicated by the "1088" suffix in the part number. This falls within the 975–1300 MHz supported band and uses integer PLL feedback mode (order code "1xxx") for optimal phase noise performance at this frequency.
Does the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI support both 2.5V and 3.3V supply voltages?
Yes, the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI operates from either 2.5V ±5% or 3.3V ±5% supply, with corresponding DC characteristics specified in Tables 4A–4B. Power supply current is 129–155 mA at 2.5V and 134–160 mA at 3.3V, enabling flexible integration into mixed-voltage systems without external regulators.
What is the RMS phase jitter specification for the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI at 1088 MHz?
At 1088 MHz, the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI achieves 0.232ps typical RMS phase jitter (12kHz–20MHz integration range) using integer PLL feedback, as confirmed by its "1xxx" order code. This meets stringent requirements for 10G/25G Ethernet PHYs and OTU-3/OTU-4 framer ICs.
How is output enable controlled on the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI?
The 8N4S270EC-1088CDI uses pin 1 (OE) for asynchronous output enable control: logic high enables the Q/nQ LVDS outputs, logic low places them in high-impedance state. An internal 50kΩ pullup resistor ensures default-enabled operation if OE is left unconnected.
What package type and dimensions does the 8N4S270EC-1088CDI use?
The 8N4S270EC-1088CDI uses a RoHS-compliant 6-pin ceramic CD package measuring 5mm × 7mm × 1.55mm. It is designed for surface-mount assembly with JEDEC-standard reflow profiles and requires no special handling beyond standard moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 precautions.
