Product details
Overview
DS4125D+ from Maxim Integrated is a 125MHz LVDS-output ceramic surface-mount crystal oscillator with ±50ppm total frequency stability, 0.7psRMS phase jitter (12kHz–20MHz), and 3.3V operation in a 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm 10-pin LCCC package. It serves as a low-jitter clock source for high-speed serial interfaces including 10GbE and SONET/SDH line cards.
For engineers reviewing the DS4125D+ datasheet, DS4125D+ pinout, DS4125D+ application, or DS4125D+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and timing behavior, and real-world deployment context for telecom and datacom timing design.
Technical Context
The DS4125D+ integrates an AT-cut fundamental-mode crystal with a BiPOLAR SiGe PLL-based synthesizer to generate a precise 125.00MHz output. Its LVDS driver delivers 250–425mV differential swing into 100Ω load with 175ps rise/fall times and 45–55% duty cycle.
It features active-high OE control with internal 100kΩ pull-up, operates across –40°C to +85°C, and achieves –149dBc/Hz phase noise at 10MHz offset. Startup time is guaranteed ≤50ms, and supply sensitivity is ±3ppm/V over 3.135V–3.465V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 125.00MHz nominal - matches IEEE 802.3ae 10GbE reference clock requirement. |
| Frequency Stability | ±50ppm total - covers initial tolerance, temperature, aging, supply, and load variation over full operating range. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | <0.7ps (12kHz–20MHz) - meets OC-192/STM-64 SONET/SDH jitter compliance limits. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3V ±5% (3.135V–3.465V) - compatible with standard 3.3V logic rails and LDOs without margining. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade telecom equipment mounting environments. |
| Output Type | LVDS - provides noise-immune differential signaling with 100Ω termination and 1.2V common-mode level. |
| Package | 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm, 10-pin LCCC - enables high-density placement on compact line card PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
DS4125D+ uses a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 10-pin LCCC ceramic package (5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm) with exposed paddle (EP) that must remain unconnected and free of underlying metal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-high output enable with internal 100kΩ pull-up - drives outputs to valid LVDS state when high; no external pull-up required. |
| 2, 7–10 | N.C. | No connection - must be left floating; not internally bonded or electrically active. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for oscillator core and output driver - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 | OUTP | Positive LVDS output - pairs with OUTN to deliver 250–425mV differential swing into 100Ω load. |
| 5 | OUTN | Negative LVDS output - complementary to OUTP; defines differential clock polarity per JEDEC JESD8-12. |
| 6 | VCC | 3.3V power supply input - requires local 0.01μF + 0.1μF decoupling per datasheet layout guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low phase jitter | <0.7psRMS (12kHz–20MHz) - ensures bit-error-rate integrity in 10GbE and InfiniBand physical layers. |
| Differential LVDS output | 250–425mV swing, 175ps edge rates, 45–55% duty cycle - supports clean signal integrity on FR4 backplanes up to 12-inch trace lengths. |
| Integrated OE control | Internal 100kΩ pull-up eliminates external bias resistor - simplifies board layout and reduces BOM count. |
| Stable over temperature | ±35ppm frequency deviation from –40°C to +85°C - maintains timing margin in uncontrolled chassis environments. |
| RoHS-compliant packaging | JESD97 e4 finish (Au over Ni) - supports both leaded and lead-free reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar crystal oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-125.00M | CMOS output, ±20ppm stability, 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V selectable supply - no LVDS option. | Requires external LVDS translator for differential interface; lower jitter (0.3psRMS) but narrower temp range (–40°C to +70°C). | Choose for ultra-low jitter in non-telecom applications where CMOS drive suffices or translation is acceptable. |
| AK2-125.000MHZ-E | LVDS output, ±25ppm stability, 3.3V only, 7.0mm × 5.0mm SMD package - larger footprint. | Higher stability than DS4125D+, but 38% larger area; same 125MHz output and –40°C to +85°C rating. | Choose when tighter frequency tolerance is critical and PCB space permits larger package. |
Compared with Si510-125.00M and AK2-125.000MHZ-E, the DS4125D+ uniquely balances LVDS-native drive, telecom-grade ±50ppm stability, compact 5.0mm × 3.2mm footprint, and full industrial temperature support - making it optimal for space-constrained 10GbE and SONET line cards requiring drop-in timing solutions.

FAQ
What is the output type and voltage level of the DS4125D+?
The DS4125D+ provides LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) output with a differential swing of 250–425mV into a 100Ω load, common-mode voltage of 1.125–1.275V, and 175ps rise/fall times. It operates from a 3.3V ±5% supply and does not support LVPECL - that function is implemented in the DS4125P+ variant.
Does the DS4125D+ require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
No, the DS4125D+ includes an internal 100kΩ pull-up resistor on the OE pin, so no external components are needed to ensure proper startup behavior. When OE is left unconnected, the internal pull-up guarantees the oscillator outputs are enabled upon power-up, simplifying schematic design and reducing component count.
What is the phase jitter performance of the DS4125D+ and how is it measured?
The DS4125D+ delivers typical integrated phase jitter of <0.7psRMS over the 12kHz to 20MHz offset band, measured at VCC = 3.3V and TA = +25°C. This value is specified in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and validated per IEEE 1149.1 and Telcordia GR-1244-CORE jitter integration methodology.
Can the DS4125D+ be used in place of the DS4125P+ in an LVPECL circuit?
No - the DS4125D+ is LVDS-only and cannot replace the DS4125P+ in LVPECL circuits. Their output drivers are fundamentally different: DS4125D+ drives 100Ω differential loads at ~1.2V common-mode, while DS4125P+ requires 50Ω terminations to PECL_BIAS (VCC – 2.0V). Interchanging them causes signal integrity failure and potential damage.
What is the maximum operating current of the DS4125D+ under full load conditions?
The DS4125D+ draws up to 75mA typical operating current when the LVDS outputs are loaded or unloaded, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains stable across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range and 3.135V–3.465V supply voltage window, enabling accurate power budgeting in dense line card designs.
