Product details
Overview
8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 from Integrated Device Technology is an LVDS frequency-programmable VCXO with factory-set 156.25 MHz output, ±20 ppm total stability (Option K), and 0.53 ps RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz integration). It operates from 2.5 V or 3.3 V supply, supports –40°C to +85°C ambient, and delivers differential clock signals for high-speed serial interfaces in telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 datasheet, 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 pinout, 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 application, or 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fractional-N PLL architecture, programmable APR (±4.5 to ±754.5 ppm), LVDS output compliance, nOE-controlled tri-state capability, and ceramic 5 mm × 7 mm × 1.55 mm package with six terminals.
Technical Context
The 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 implements a fourth-generation FemtoClock® NG PLL using a 114.285 MHz fundamental-mode crystal oscillator, a 1950–2600 MHz VCO, and a fractional feedback divider (MINT + MFRAC) enabling 218 Hz frequency resolution. Its architecture includes pre-divider (P), post-divider (N), and configurable ADC gain/polarity registers programmed at factory.
It integrates LVDS output drivers with 247–454 mV differential voltage (VOD), 1.13–1.31 V offset (VOS), and supports output enable via LVCMOS/LVTTL-compatible nOE input. The device uses internal pulldown resistors on VC and nOE inputs and requires no external configuration circuitry post-manufacture.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | Factory-programmed to 156.25 MHz - precise reference for Ethernet, CPRI, and OTN line rates. |
| Frequency Stability | ±20 ppm total stability (Option K, 10-year life) - ensures timing margin in wireless base stations. |
| RMS Phase Jitter | 0.53 ps typical (12 kHz–20 MHz, 156.25 MHz output) - meets SONET OC-192 and 10G Ethernet jitter budgets. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5% - compatible with common FPGA/ASIC I/O rails and simplifies power design. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and outdoor telecom equipment deployment. |

Pinout & Package
6-lead ceramic VFQFN package (5 mm × 7 mm × 1.55 mm), RoHS 6-compliant, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC | VCXO control voltage input | Analog tuning port accepting 0–VDD range; sets output frequency deviation per programmed KV (ppm/V). |
| nOE | Active-low output enable | LVTTL/LVCMOS-compatible input; drives Q/nQ into high-impedance when logic high. |
| GND | Power ground | Reference return for VDD and all internal circuits; must be low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| Q | Differential LVDS output (+) | True-side LVDS signal; 247–454 mV swing, 1.13–1.31 V common-mode, requires 100 Ω termination. |
| nQ | Differential LVDS output (–) | Complementary LVDS signal; matched delay and amplitude to Q for skew-critical applications. |
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5%; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |

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 LVDS; ±50 ppm stability (standard grade); 1.8–3.3 V supply | Not suitable for high-speed differential interfaces; requires external LVDS translator for SerDes use | Select only if CMOS load compatibility and lower cost outweigh jitter and interface requirements. |
| AK2-156.250MHZ-E | Fixed-frequency LVDS XO (no VC input); ±20 ppm stability; same 5×7 mm package | Lacks frequency pulling capability - cannot serve as VCXO in PLL-based clock recovery systems | Choose when absolute frequency stability is prioritized over tunability and loop control is handled externally. |
Compared with 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8, Si510-PROG offers broader voltage support but lacks native LVDS and VCXO functionality, while AK2-156.250MHZ-E provides identical stability and form factor but zero pull range - making 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 the sole choice for closed-loop timing systems requiring analog frequency adjustment.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8?
The 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 is factory-programmed to 156.25 MHz, a standard reference frequency used in 10G Ethernet, OTU2, and CPRI applications. This frequency is set during manufacturing and cannot be altered in the field. The device retains full VCXO functionality, allowing analog tuning around 156.25 MHz within its configured absolute pull range.
Does the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 support both 2.5 V and 3.3 V supply voltages?
Yes, the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 operates from either 2.5 V ±5% or 3.3 V ±5% supply voltage, as specified in Tables 4A and 4B of the datasheet. Power supply current is 135–170 mA at 2.5 V and 140–175 mA at 3.3 V. Decoupling capacitors must be placed adjacent to the VDD pin regardless of selected voltage.
What is the meaning of "K" in the part number 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8?
The "K" in 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 denotes the Option Code specifying 3.3 V supply voltage and ±20 ppm total frequency stability over temperature, aging, and initial accuracy (10-year life). This corresponds to high-stability operation required in telecom infrastructure, distinct from Option A (±100 ppm) or E (±50 ppm).
Can the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 be used as a drop-in replacement for fixed-frequency LVDS oscillators?
No - the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 is a VCXO with analog frequency tuning capability and requires a control voltage (VC) input. While it can operate at a fixed frequency when VC is held constant, its pinout, functional behavior (e.g., nOE vs OE polarity), and electrical characteristics differ from fixed XO parts like AK2-156.250MHZ-E. Direct substitution requires validation of loop dynamics and stability margins.
What is the maximum RMS phase jitter specification for the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 at 156.25 MHz?
The maximum RMS phase jitter for the 8N4SV76KC-0036CDI8 at 156.25 MHz is 0.73 ps (12 kHz–20 MHz integration band), per Table 5A. The typical value is 0.53 ps. This performance is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range and meets industry requirements for 10G/25G SerDes clocking.
