Product details
Overview
LMK6CE04000CDLFR from Texas Instruments is a factory-programmed, ultra-low-jitter LVCMOS bulk-acoustic wave (BAW) oscillator delivering 40.000 MHz output with ±25 ppm total frequency stability over –40°C to +105°C, integrated LDO for –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz, and <5 ms start-up time. It serves as a high-stability reference clock for FPGA/ASIC timing, industrial control systems, and PCIe Gen 1–7 compliant applications requiring robust supply noise immunity.
For engineers reviewing the LMK6CE04000CDLFR datasheet, LMK6CE04000CDLFR pinout, LMK6CE04000CDLFR application, or LMK6CE04000CDLFR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 MHz LVCMOS output, 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V supply flexibility, DLF-4 VSON package (2.5 mm × 2.0 mm), and 350 fs typical RMS jitter at 100 MHz - critical for SERDES clocking in optical transport and data center line cards.
Technical Context
The LMK6CE04000CDLFR implements TI's monolithic BAW resonator integrated directly into the VSON package, eliminating external crystal dependencies and enabling superior mechanical stability and shock resistance. Its fractional output divider supports precise fixed-frequency synthesis without external PLL components.
It features dual-function control pins (OE/ST) configurable as output enable or standby, an integrated LDO with –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz ripple, and operates across –40°C to +105°C with full specification compliance - distinguishing it from standard quartz-based oscillators in thermal drift and aging performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 40.000 MHz - factory-programmed fixed frequency, optimized for PCIe reference clocks and FPGA system timing. |
| Output Type | LVCMOS - single-ended, rail-to-rail compatible with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic interfaces and standard microcontroller clock inputs. |
| RMS Jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | 350 fs typical / 500 fs max at 100 MHz - enables compliance with stringent jitter budgets in 100G+ optical modules and high-speed ADC/DAC sampling clocks. |
| Frequency Stability | ±25 ppm total - includes initial tolerance, temperature variation (–40°C to +105°C), voltage variation, and 10-year aging - eliminates need for field recalibration. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8V ±5%, 2.5V ±5%, or 3.3V ±5% - selectable via orderable part number; supports mixed-voltage board designs without level shifters. |
| Start-up Time | <5 ms - meets fast-boot requirements in industrial PLCs and telecom baseband units where deterministic power-on timing is essential. |
| PSRR | –72 dBc at 500 kHz - integrated LDO rejects switching regulator noise, reducing need for additional bulk capacitance on VDD. |
Pinout & Package
VSON-4 (DLF-4) package: 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, wettable flank, RoHS-compliant. Exposed thermal pad recommended for PCB thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OE / ST / NC | Input / No Connect | Configurable as active-high output enable or active-low standby; floating = output enabled - simplifies control logic in space-constrained designs. |
| 2: GND | Ground | Dedicated ground terminal; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane to maintain jitter performance and PSRR. |
| 3: OUT | LVCMOS Output | Single-ended clock signal; 2.2 pF load-optimized rise/fall time of 0.5–1 ns - suitable for direct connection to FPGA clock inputs without series termination. |
| 4: VDD | Power Supply | Supplies internal BAW oscillator, LDO, and output driver; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling within 2 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) Resonator | Monolithic silicon-based resonator co-packaged with clock circuitry - delivers 10× better shock/vibration immunity vs. quartz crystals and eliminates aging-related drift. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-frequency oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-40.000M-GR | 40 MHz LVCMOS, ±20 ppm stability, 3.3V only, 5 ms start-up, no integrated LDO (requires external regulation). | Lacks PSRR performance; unsuitable for noisy power domains without added filtering. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs supply noise immunity needs and board space allows external LDO. |
| AK2-40.000MHZ-E | 40 MHz LVCMOS, ±50 ppm stability, –40°C to +85°C, 10 ms start-up, quartz-based, no LDO. | Higher aging drift and wider temp range spec - may require margining in extended-temp industrial deployments. | Choose only for non-critical timing where long-term stability and thermal robustness are secondary. |
Compared with Si510-40.000M-GR and AK2-40.000MHZ-E, LMK6CE04000CDLFR offers superior jitter (350 fs vs. ≥500 fs), tighter stability (±25 ppm vs. ±20/±50 ppm), and integrated LDO - making it optimal for PCIe Gen 5, high-reliability industrial, and compact optical module designs.

FAQ
Is LMK6CE04000CDLFR pin-compatible with other LMK6C variants?
Yes - all LMK6C devices use identical 4-pin VSON (DLF-4 or DLE-4) packages and share the same pinout: Pin 1 (OE/ST/NC), Pin 2 (GND), Pin 3 (OUT), Pin 4 (VDD). Functionality differs only in factory-programmed parameters (frequency, voltage, control pin behavior), not physical layout.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported by the LVCMOS output?
The LMK6CE04000CDLFR LVCMOS output supports up to 15 pF for frequencies above 50 MHz and up to 30 pF for frequencies below 50 MHz. At 40 MHz, the 30 pF limit applies - sufficient for driving multiple FPGA clock inputs or short PCB traces without series termination.
Does this device require external configuration or firmware?
No - LMK6CE04000CDLFR is factory-programmed with fixed 40.000 MHz output, LVCMOS drive strength, 3.3V supply, and OE/ST pin functionality. It operates immediately after power-up with no I²C/SPI interface, EEPROM, or initialization sequence required.
Can the output be disabled to reduce system power consumption?
Yes - asserting Pin 1 (OE/ST) low disables the output and reduces current draw to 6–13 mA (standby mode). This feature enables dynamic power gating in battery-backed or energy-sensitive industrial applications without affecting oscillator core stability.
