Product details
Overview
LMK61E2-125M00SIAT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low jitter LVPECL-output programmable oscillator generating a precise 125 MHz reference clock. It features 90 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), ±50 ppm total frequency tolerance, and operates from a single 3.3 V supply in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as a high-stability timing source for FPGA clocking, 10G/25G Ethernet PHYs, and baseband unit synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the LMK61E2-125M00SIAT datasheet, LMK61E2-125M00SIAT pinout, LMK61E2-125M00SIAT application, or LMK61E2-125M00SIAT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed differential output behavior, and real-world deployment context for high-speed digital systems requiring sub-100-fs jitter performance.
Technical Context
The LMK61E2-125M00SIAT integrates a high-order PLL with internal voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and factory-programmed configuration to deliver fixed 125 MHz LVPECL output without external components. Its architecture includes on-die power conditioning that achieves –70 dBc PSRR across 50 kHz–1 MHz supply ripple frequencies, enabling robust operation in noisy power environments.
It supports universal differential signaling via OUTP/OUTN pins configured for LVPECL mode (700–1200 mV swing, 120–200 ps rise/fall time), with OE input enabling hardware-controlled output disable into high-impedance state. The device uses a 6-pin QFM (7 mm × 5 mm) package with GND and VDD pins thermally optimized for junction-to-board thermal resistance of 37.7°C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
LMK61E2-125M00SIAT is housed in a 7 mm × 5 mm, 6-pin QFM (SIA) package-pin-compatible with industry-standard 7050 XO footprints-and features exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE (Pin 1) | Digital control input | LVCMOS-level enable; internal pull-up; drives outputs to high-Z when low (tOE-DIS = 50 µs) |
| NC (Pin 2) | No-connect | Unbonded die pad; must remain floating per TI design guidelines |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power ground | Primary return path; requires ≥3 thermal vias to inner ground plane for thermal reliability |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Synchronizing 25G KR/KP SerDes transceivers in telecom line cards with strict jitter compliance (IEEE 802.3by). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reference clock generator for MAC/PHY interface, directly driving differential inputs of TI's TLK10232 or Marvell Alaska X. Use Value: 90 fs jitter ensures <1×10−12 BER under worst-case channel loss, eliminating need for external jitter cleaners. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-phase-noise master clock for FPGA-based digital down-conversion pipelines (Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC). Use Value: –165 dBc/Hz phase noise floor at 10 MHz offset preserves SNR in wideband IF sampling architectures. |
| Baseband Unit (BBU) Synchronization | Server Memory Interface Timing |
Use Scenario: Distributing synchronized 125 MHz clocks across distributed RRH/BBU architectures in 5G NR deployments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stratum-3-equivalent timing source feeding multiple clock buffers (e.g., CDCM6208) in centralized BBU chassis. Use Value: ±50 ppm stability over temperature and aging ensures long-term holdover accuracy during GPS outage. |
Use Scenario: Clocking DDR4/DDR5 memory subsystems in AI training servers requiring tight tCK skew control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-jitter reference for memory controller PLLs (e.g., AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon Scalable SoCs). Use Value: Sub-100-fs jitter minimizes setup/hold timing violations at 3200 MT/s+ data rates. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMK61A2-125M00SIAT | LVDS output (300–480 mV swing), same 125 MHz, ±50 ppm, identical package | Requires LVDS-compatible receivers; lower power (152 mA vs. 162 mA), reduced EMI vs. LVPECL | Select when interfacing with LVDS-input FPGAs or ASICs and board-level EMI is constrained |
| Si510-125.000M-GR | LVDS output, ±20 ppm stability, 3.3 V, 7×5 mm QFN, but higher jitter (120 fs RMS) | Higher stability suits telecom timing; lacks OE pin and PSRR optimization of LMK61E2 | Select when tighter frequency tolerance is prioritized over jitter and supply noise rejection |
Compared with LMK61A2-125M00SIAT, the LMK61E2 variant provides higher drive strength and better noise immunity for backplane routing; versus Si510, it trades ±20 ppm stability for significantly lower jitter and integrated PSRR-critical for high-speed serial links.

FAQ
Is LMK61E2-125M00SIAT pin-compatible with standard 7050-package oscillators?
Yes. It uses a 6-pin QFM (7 mm × 5 mm) package with identical footprint and pinout to industry-standard 7050 XO modules, enabling direct mechanical and layout replacement without PCB redesign. Pin assignments (OE, GND, OUTP, OUTN, VDD) match JEDEC MO-220 standards for surface-mount oscillators.
What is the recommended power supply decoupling network?
Texas Instruments specifies three parallel capacitors: 10 µF (bulk), 1 µF (mid-frequency), and 0.1 µF (high-frequency), all mounted on the component side using 0201 or 0402 case sizes. Connections to VDD and GND must be short and low-inductance, with GND tied to the internal ground plane via ≥3 thermal vias.
Can the output format be changed from LVPECL to LVDS or HCSL?
No. LMK61E2-125M00SIAT is factory-programmed exclusively for LVPECL output. Output format is fixed per part number: "E2" denotes LVPECL, "A2" denotes LVDS, and "I2" denotes HCSL. Reconfiguration requires selecting the appropriate variant (e.g., LMK61A2-125M00SIAT for LVDS).
Does the OE pin require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?
No. OE has an internal weak pull-up; it defaults to logic high (output enabled) when left unconnected. To disable output, drive OE to GND (VIL ≤ 0.6 V); no external resistor is needed unless system-level noise immunity requires stronger biasing.
