Product details
Overview
DS4425BN+ from Maxim Integrated is a 425MHz LVDS-output ceramic surface-mount clock oscillator in the DS4-XO series, designed for high-speed serial interfaces requiring ultra-low phase jitter (< 0.9ps RMS, 12kHz–20MHz), ±39ppm total frequency stability, and operation across –40°C to +85°C. It uses a fundamental crystal with integrated PLL architecture and features an active-high output enable (OE) pin for power-aware system control.
For engineers reviewing the DS4425BN+ datasheet, DS4425BN+ pinout, DS4425BN+ application, or DS4425BN+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package dimensions, functional pin roles, real-world Fibre Channel and RAID controller use cases, and two validated alternative oscillators with documented output type and frequency differences.
Technical Context
The DS4425BN+ integrates a precision fundamental-mode crystal with a low-noise digital PLL comprising a phase/frequency detector (PFD), loop filter, and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), followed by scalable divider circuitry and a differential LVDS output buffer. Its architecture targets deterministic jitter minimization under supply noise-accumulated deterministic jitter due to power-supply noise is specified at 7ps (P-P) at 1MHz.
It operates exclusively from a 3.3V ±10% supply, draws 53mA typical (unloaded), and delivers LVDS outputs with 250–400mV differential swing, 1.125–1.275V common-mode voltage, and guaranteed 175ps edge speed (20%–80%). Startup time-including oscillator start and PLL lock-is ≤10ms after VCC reaches 3.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 425.00MHz - fixed, factory-trimmed fundamental-frequency output for SerDes clocking in Fibre Channel and SAS systems. |
| Output Type | LVDS - differential, low-voltage signaling compliant with ANSI TIA/EIA-644, enabling noise-immune routing on dense PCBs. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 0.9ps (12kHz–20MHz) - meets stringent jitter budgets for 4G/8G Fibre Channel receivers and high-speed ADC sampling clocks. |
| Frequency Stability | ±39ppm total - covers temperature, aging (±7ppm over 15 years), supply (±3ppm/V), and load (±1ppm) variations for long-term timing integrity. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic rails; no external regulation required. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and enterprise storage environments without derating. |
| Package | 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm, 10-pin LCCC - compact ceramic SMT footprint with exposed paddle (non-connected) for thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
DS4425BN+ is housed in a 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm, 10-pin lead-free LCCC ceramic package (JESD97 e4 finish, Au over Ni). The exposed paddle (EP) must remain unconnected and free of underlying metal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-high output enable; internal pullup allows floating for always-on operation; disables LVDS outputs to latched differential HIGH state. |
| 2, 7–10 | N.C. | No connection - electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output termination; must be low-impedance plane connection. |
| 4 | OUTP | Positive LVDS output - requires 100Ω differential termination to VCC/2 or AC-coupled to receiver. |
| 5 | OUTN | Negative LVDS output - paired with OUTP; differential pair must be length-matched and impedance-controlled (100Ω). |
| 6 | VCC | +3.3V supply input - bypass with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor near pin; shared with all internal blocks including PLL and output driver. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low phase jitter | 0.9ps RMS (12kHz–20MHz) enables compliance with Fibre Channel FC-PI-4 and SAS-3 jitter masks without external cleanup. |
| LVDS output interface | Differential 250–400mV swing and 1.125–1.275V common-mode voltage ensure compatibility with standard LVDS receivers and reduce EMI. |
| Integrated OE control | Active-high logic enables dynamic clock gating in power-managed systems without external logic or level-shifting. |
| High-frequency stability | ±39ppm total variation ensures reliable link training and bit-error-rate performance across temperature, voltage, and lifetime in RAID controllers. |
| Compact ceramic LCCC | 5.0 × 3.2mm footprint saves board space in HBA and switch modules where multi-channel clock distribution is constrained. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS4425AN+ | LVPECL output (not LVDS); higher supply current (50mA vs. 53mA); VOH/VOL referenced to VCC −1.085V / VCC −1.825V. | Requires 100Ω termination to VCC, not VCC/2; incompatible with LVDS-only receivers; better for legacy PECL backplanes. | Select DS4425AN+ only when interfacing with PECL-compatible ASICs or when lower output impedance is needed. |
| Si5338A-D-GM | Programmable 4-output clock generator (I²C-configurable); wider frequency range (0.16–350MHz per output); higher integration but larger QFN package. | Supports multi-frequency, multi-protocol systems (FC + PCIe + SATA); not a drop-in replacement; requires firmware configuration. | Choose Si5338A-D-GM when flexibility across mixed-interface boards outweighs cost and layout simplicity of fixed-frequency DS4425BN+. |
Compared with DS4425AN+ and Si5338A-D-GM, the DS4425BN+ offers lowest risk, zero-configuration deployment for dedicated 425MHz LVDS clocking-ideal for volume production where BOM simplification, jitter margin, and thermal reliability are prioritized over programmability or output count.

FAQ
What is the output type and voltage specification for DS4425BN+?
The DS4425BN+ provides LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) outputs with a differential voltage swing of 250–400mV and a common-mode voltage of 1.125–1.275V. It requires 100Ω differential termination and operates from a 3.3V ±10% supply. Unlike the LVPECL variant DS4425AN+, the DS4425BN+ does not reference its outputs to VCC and is incompatible with PECL receivers.
Does DS4425BN+ require external configuration or programming?
No, DS4425BN+ is a fixed-frequency oscillator with no configuration interface. Its 425.00MHz output is factory-trimmed using the internal crystal and PLL, and it requires only power (VCC), ground (GND), and optional OE control. No I²C, SPI, or pin-strapping is needed-making DS4425BN+ ideal for plug-and-play timing in production systems.
What is the startup time and operating temperature range of DS4425BN+?
The DS4425BN+ achieves full operational readiness-including crystal startup and PLL lock-in ≤10ms after VCC reaches 3.0V. It is fully specified across –40°C to +85°C, with all electrical parameters (jitter, frequency stability, supply current) guaranteed over this industrial temperature range without derating.
How is the output disabled on DS4425BN+, and what happens to the outputs?
DS4425BN+ uses an active-high Output Enable (OE) pin (Pin 1). When OE is driven low or grounded, the LVDS outputs are latched: OUTP goes high and OUTN goes low, maintaining a defined differential logic HIGH state. This behavior prevents floating signals and eliminates the need for external termination during disable-distinct from the high-impedance state used in the LVPECL variant DS4425AN+.
What package type and mounting requirements apply to DS4425BN+?
DS4425BN+ uses a 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.49mm, 10-pin LCCC ceramic package with a non-connected exposed paddle (EP). The EP must remain unconnected and have no metal beneath it per Maxim's thermal design guidance. Reflow must follow IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 profile, and the device is lead(Pb)-free with JESD97 e4 (Au over Ni) finish.
