Product details
Overview
LMK6CE04800DDLFR from Texas Instruments is a factory-programmed, ultra-low-jitter LVCMOS bulk-acoustic wave (BAW) oscillator delivering 48.000 MHz output with ±25 ppm total frequency stability over –40°C to 105°C, 3.3 V supply, and 350 fs typical / 500 fs maximum RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz). It serves as a high-stability reference clock for FPGA timing, industrial PLCs, and PCIe Gen 1–7 root complex applications.
For engineers reviewing the LMK6CE04800DDLFR datasheet, LMK6CE04800DDLFR pinout, LMK6CE04800DDLFR application, or LMK6CE04800DDLFR equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (DLF-4), confirmed 4-pin VSON layout, thermal resistance (RθJA = 128.1 °C/W), PSRR (–70 dBc at 1 MHz), and PCIe-compliant jitter performance at 48 MHz.
Technical Context
The LMK6CE04800DDLFR integrates a monolithic BAW resonator with a fractional-N frequency divider and on-die LDO, enabling fixed-frequency operation without external crystals or loop filters. Its architecture eliminates aging drift and solder-shift sensitivity while maintaining sub-0.5 ps RMS jitter at 48 MHz.
Designed for single-ended LVCMOS drive into 2.2 pF load, it supports active-high output enable (Pin 1), operates with <5 ms start-up time, and delivers robust supply noise immunity via –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz ripple-critical for noisy industrial power rails.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-48.000M-GR | 1.8 V supply only; ±50 ppm stability; 1.2 ps RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | Requires level-shifting for 3.3 V systems; not qualified for >85°C ambient | Select if cost-sensitive and operating at ≤85°C with 1.8 V rail available |
| AK2-48.000MHZ-EV-T | 2.5 V supply; ±20 ppm stability; 500 fs RMS jitter; 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm DLE-4 package | Larger footprint increases PCB area; lacks integrated LDO, requiring external filtering | Select when needing tighter initial tolerance but can accommodate larger package and added BOM complexity |
Compared with Si510-48.000M-GR and AK2-48.000MHZ-EV-T, the LMK6CE04800DDLFR uniquely combines 3.3 V compatibility, ±25 ppm 10-year stability, and integrated LDO in a 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm footprint-enabling drop-in replacement of legacy crystal oscillators in thermally demanding industrial designs without redesigning power delivery or layout.

FAQ
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for LMK6CE04800DDLFR?
A 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of Pin 4 (VDD) and connected to Pin 2 (GND) is mandatory. TI's evaluation module uses a 1 µF parallel capacitor for broadband suppression, but the 100 nF is sufficient for stable 48 MHz operation in industrial environments with clean 3.3 V rails.
Can LMK6CE04800DDLFR drive a 15 pF capacitive load?
Yes-it supports up to 15 pF for frequencies above 50 MHz per datasheet Section 6.7. At 48 MHz, the maximum rated load is 30 pF. Driving 15 pF maintains full specification compliance for rise/fall time (≤1 ns), duty cycle (45–55%), and jitter (≤500 fs RMS).
Is the OE pin required to be driven, or can it float?
Pin 1 (OE/ST/NC) must be actively driven: connect to VDD for always-on operation or to GND for standby mode. Leaving it floating violates the absolute maximum rating for input voltage and may cause undefined output behavior or increased current consumption during power sequencing.
Does LMK6CE04800DDLFR require reprogramming for frequency changes?
No-it is factory-programmed for 48.000 MHz and cannot be reconfigured in-system. Frequency is laser-trimmed during final test; any change requires ordering a new part number (e.g., LMK6CE05000DDLFR for 50 MHz). Custom frequencies are available through TI's BAW configurator tool.
