Product details
Overview
LMK6CE02500DDLFT from Texas Instruments is a factory-programmed, ultra-low-jitter LVCMOS BAW oscillator delivering 25 MHz output at 1.8 V supply, rated for –40°C to 105°C operation in the compact 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm DLF VSON package. It serves as a high-stability reference clock for FPGA configuration, industrial MCU timing, and PCIe Gen 1–7 compliant systems requiring tight frequency stability and low power.
For engineers reviewing the LMK6CE02500DDLFT datasheet, LMK6CE02500DDLFT pinout, LMK6CE02500DDLFT application, or LMK6CE02500DDLFT equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±25 ppm total frequency stability over temperature and aging, 350 fs typical RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) at 100 MHz, 1.8 V operation, 4-pin DLF package, and Output Enable (Pin 1, active-high) control function.
Technical Context
The LMK6CE02500DDLFT integrates a Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator with a fractional frequency divider and integrated LDO, enabling fixed-frequency precision without external crystals. Its architecture supports single-ended LVCMOS output only, with no differential signaling capability.
It operates exclusively in the LMK6C variant family, limited to 1–200 MHz output range and –40°C to 105°C extended industrial temperature grade. Pin 1 functions as Output Enable (active-high), and the device features <5 ms start-up time and –70 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz ripple on 1.8 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 25 MHz - factory-programmed, stable reference for synchronous logic and SERDES PHY layers |
| Output Type | LVCMOS - single-ended, rail-to-rail compatible with 1.8 V logic families and FPGA I/O banks |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8 V ±5% - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained industrial systems |
| Frequency Stability | ±25 ppm - includes initial tolerance, temp drift (–40°C to 105°C), voltage variation, and 10-year aging |
| RMS Jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | 350 fs typical at 100 MHz - meets PCIe Gen 5+ and 100G Ethernet clocking requirements |
| Start-up Time | <5 ms - ensures rapid system boot and deterministic timing initialization after power-on |
| Package | DLF VSON-4 (2.5 mm × 2.0 mm) - ultra-small footprint for space-constrained PCBs and high-density modules |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 105°C - qualified for extended industrial environments including base stations and motor drives |
Pinout & Package
LMK6CE02500DDLFT uses a 4-pin VSON (DLF-4) package measuring 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm with wettable flanks. Pin 1 is Output Enable (active-high), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is LVCMOS clock output, and Pin 4 is VDD.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE / ST / NC) | Input (active-high enable) | Drives output when pulled high; output disabled (high-impedance) when low or floating |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and output driver; requires low-inductance connection |
| 3 (OUT) | LVCMOS clock output | Single-ended 1.8 V rail-to-rail square wave; drives ≤15 pF load at >50 MHz |
| 4 (VDD) | Power supply input | 1.8 V ±5% supply with integrated LDO; decoupling capacitor required per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-frequency oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMK6CE02500DLEFT | Same LMK6C family, identical 25 MHz LVCMOS output and 1.8 V operation, but in larger 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm DLE package | Requires more PCB area; slightly better thermal resistance (RθJA = 124.8°C/W vs. 128.1°C/W), but same electrical specs | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal margin is prioritized over space savings |
| Si510-250F-25M000000 | 25 MHz LVCMOS oscillator from Silicon Labs; ±20 ppm stability, 1.8 V, 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm QFN; uses MEMS resonator | Lower frequency stability (±20 ppm vs. ±25 ppm inclusive of aging); higher typical jitter (500 fs vs. 350 fs at 100 MHz) | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs jitter and long-term aging requirements; verify MEMS shock robustness for target environment |
Compared with LMK6CE02500DLEFT and Si510-250F-25M000000, the LMK6CE02500DDLFT delivers superior jitter performance and guaranteed 10-year aging inclusion in its ±25 ppm spec, while occupying the smallest standard footprint - making it optimal for thermally dense, high-reliability industrial and telecom designs where board space and timing margin are constrained.

FAQ
What is the output enable behavior of the LMK6CE02500DDLFT?
The LMK6CE02500DDLFT uses Pin 1 as an active-high Output Enable (OE) input. When OE is pulled high (≥1.3 V), the LVCMOS output is active; when OE is low (≤0.6 V) or left floating, the output enters high-impedance state. This enables dynamic clock gating in power-sensitive applications without requiring external switches or buffers. The LMK6CE02500DDLFT supports 25 µs enable and 1 µs disable timing.
Does the LMK6CE02500DDLFT require external configuration or programming?
No, the LMK6CE02500DDLFT is factory-programmed with fixed 25 MHz output, 1.8 V supply, LVCMOS output type, and Pin 1 Output Enable functionality. No external EEPROM, I²C interface, or configuration pins are present. All timing parameters, including ±25 ppm stability and 350 fs typical jitter, are guaranteed at shipment - eliminating field programming complexity and qualification overhead for the LMK6CE02500DDLFT.
Can the LMK6CE02500DDLFT operate at frequencies other than 25 MHz?
No - the LMK6CE02500DDLFT is a fixed-frequency device programmed exclusively for 25 MHz output. While the broader LMK6C family supports 1–200 MHz, each part number (e.g., LMK6CE02500DDLFT) is laser-trimmed and tested at its specific frequency. Attempting to use the LMK6CE02500DDLFT outside its specified 25 MHz output violates datasheet guarantees and voids jitter, stability, and timing specifications.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LMK6CE02500DDLFT can drive?
The LMK6CE02500DDLFT supports up to 15 pF capacitive load for output frequencies above 50 MHz, and up to 30 pF for frequencies below 50 MHz. At its 25 MHz output, the LMK6CE02500DDLFT can reliably drive up to 30 pF, accommodating typical PCB trace capacitance plus FPGA or ASIC input capacitance without signal integrity degradation or duty cycle distortion.
How does the LMK6CE02500DDLFT achieve ±25 ppm frequency stability over 10 years?
The LMK6CE02500DDLFT achieves ±25 ppm total stability by integrating a Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator with no aging mechanism - unlike quartz crystals, BAW devices exhibit negligible long-term drift. This specification includes initial tolerance, temperature variation (–40°C to 105°C), supply voltage deviation (±5%), solder shift, and 10-year aging - all validated during LMK6CE02500DDLFT production testing and lifetime characterization.
