Product details
Overview
DS4312P+ from Maxim Integrated is a 312.5MHz LVPECL-output ceramic surface-mount crystal oscillator with ±50ppm frequency stability, 3.3V operation, and <0.7psRMS phase jitter (12kHz–20MHz), designed for high-speed serial timing in SONET/SDH and 10GbE systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS4312P+ datasheet, DS4312P+ pinout, DS4312P+ application, or DS4312P+ equivalent, this page delivers verified package dimensions, LVPECL output drive specifications, startup time, thermal resistance, and RoHS-compliant LCCC pin mapping - all confirmed from Maxim's official DS4125–DS4776 datasheet Rev 2 (June 2008).
Technical Context
The DS4312P+ integrates an AT-cut fundamental-mode crystal with a BiPOLAR SiGe synthesizer IC to generate 312.5MHz output via PLL-based frequency synthesis. It supports active-high OE control with 200ns enable/disable propagation delay and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
Its LVPECL output stage drives 50Ω terminations at VCC – 2.0V bias, delivering 0.595–0.710V differential voltage, 45–55% duty cycle, and 200ps rise/fall times. Phase noise is –113dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and –153dBc/Hz at 20MHz offset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 312.5MHz nominal - matches SONET OC-48/SDH STM-16 and 10GbE reference clock requirements. |
| Frequency Stability | ±50ppm total - covers temperature, aging, supply, and load variation over full industrial range. |
| Jitter (RMS) | <0.7ps (12kHz–20MHz) - ensures low BER in high-speed serial links like InfiniBand and GPON. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3V ±5% - compatible with standard logic rails; ICC = 74–100mA depending on load condition. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for telecom infrastructure and industrial embedded timing applications. |
| Package | 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm, 10-pin LCCC - compact ceramic SMT footprint with exposed paddle (non-connected). |
| Output Type | LVPECL - differential signaling with PECL_BIAS = VCC – 2.0V; requires external 50Ω termination to bias point. |
Pinout & Package
DS4312P+ uses a 10-pin LCCC ceramic package (5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm) with non-connected exposed paddle (EP). Pin 1 is OE (active-high enable); pins 4 and 5 are complementary LVPECL outputs (OUTP/OUTN); pin 6 is VCC; pin 3 is GND; pins 2 and 7–10 are no-connect (must be floated).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-high output enable with internal 100kΩ pullup - drives outputs to PECL_BIAS level when low. |
| 2, 7–10 | N.C. | No connection - must remain unconnected and unbonded per Maxim design guidance. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for power and signal integrity - connects directly to substrate ground plane. |
| 4 | OUTP | Positive LVPECL output - requires 50Ω termination to PECL_BIAS (VCC – 2.0V) for valid logic levels. |
| 5 | OUTN | Negative LVPECL output - complements OUTP; differential pair defines timing edge precision. |
| 6 | VCC | 3.3V supply input - bypass with 0.01μF and 0.1μF capacitors close to pin per typical operating circuit. |
| EP | Exposed Paddle | Thermal pad not electrically connected - must not be soldered or placed over metal layers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low phase jitter | <0.7psRMS (12kHz–20MHz) - minimizes timing uncertainty in 10GbE and SONET clock recovery. |
| LVPECL output interface | Valid logic swing with 50Ω termination to VCC – 2.0V - enables direct interfacing with TI, IDT, and Broadcom SerDes inputs. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation - supports deployment in carrier-grade optical line cards and base station timing modules. |
| RoHS-compliant packaging | Lead-free JESD97 e4 finish (Au over Ni) - compatible with leaded and lead-free reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. |
| Fundamental-mode crystal + PLL | AT-cut quartz resonator with integrated SiGe synthesizer - eliminates external loop filter components and reduces BOM count. |

FAQ
What output type does DS4312P+ use, and how is it terminated?
DS4312P+ uses LVPECL output, requiring 50Ω termination from each output (OUTP and OUTN) to the PECL_BIAS voltage level at VCC – 2.0V. This configuration ensures valid differential logic levels and maintains signal integrity for high-speed interfaces. The DS4312P+ datasheet specifies 0.595–0.710V differential swing under these conditions, and the device's internal design assumes this bias point for proper operation.
What is the frequency stability specification for DS4312P+, and what factors does it include?
The DS4312P+ has a total frequency stability of ±50ppm, covering combined effects of temperature variation (±35ppm), initial tolerance (±20ppm), supply voltage change (±3ppm/V), load variation (±1ppm), and 15-year aging (±7ppm). This value is explicitly defined in the DS4125–DS4776 datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range with 3.3V ±5% supply.
Does DS4312P+ have an output enable function, and how does it behave?
Yes, DS4312P+ features an active-high Output Enable (OE) pin with internal 100kΩ pullup. When OE is low, LVPECL outputs go to the PECL_BIAS level (VCC – 2.0V); when high, outputs become active with specified differential swing. Propagation delays are tPZA = 200ns (enable) and tPAZ = 200ns (disable), both guaranteed by design per the DS4312P+ datasheet.
What is the package type and thermal resistance of DS4312P+?
DS4312P+ uses a 10-pin LCCC ceramic package measuring 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm with a non-connected exposed paddle (EP). Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 90°C/W, as documented in the "Chip Information" section of the DS4125–DS4776 datasheet. This value guides thermal design for continuous operation within rated ambient limits.
Is DS4312P+ RoHS-compliant, and what is its lead finish?
Yes, DS4312P+ is RoHS-compliant with a lead-free JESD97 category e4 finish (gold over nickel). This finish is compatible with both lead-based and lead-free soldering processes, and the + suffix in DS4312P+ explicitly denotes compliance per Maxim's ordering nomenclature and datasheet revision history.
