Product details
Overview
LMK6CE05000CDLER from Texas Instruments is a factory-programmed, ultra-low-jitter BAW-based LVCMOS oscillator delivering a precise 50 MHz output clock with ±25 ppm total frequency stability over –40°C to 105°C and 2.5V–3.3V supply. It features pin-1 Output Enable (active-high), <5 ms start-up time, and integrated LDO for robust PSRR (–72 dBc at 500 kHz). It serves as a high-reliability reference clock in PCIe Gen 7-compliant systems and industrial FPGA timing.
For engineers reviewing the LMK6CE05000CDLER datasheet, LMK6CE05000CDLER pinout, LMK6CE05000CDLER application, or LMK6CE05000CDLER equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 MHz fixed-frequency accuracy, LVCMOS drive capability into ≤15 pF load, 0.4–1 ps RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), OE-controlled output enable/disable timing (25 µs / 1 µs), and DLE-4 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm VSON package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMK6CE05000CDLER implements a Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator monolithically integrated with a fractional divider and LVCMOS output driver in a single-die solution. Its architecture eliminates external crystal components while maintaining sub-1 ps jitter performance at 50 MHz through on-chip temperature compensation and supply noise rejection.
It operates exclusively in fixed-frequency mode, factory-programmed for 50.000 MHz output, and supports only the OE function on Pin 1 - no standby or frequency selection logic. The device uses an internal LDO to isolate the BAW core from supply ripple, achieving –70 dBc to –72 dBc PSRR across 50 kHz–1 MHz under 50 mV ripple conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 50.000 MHz - factory-trimmed, stable across full operating range; enables direct replacement of crystal oscillators in PCIe, Ethernet, and MCU reference designs. |
| RMS Jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | 0.4–1.0 ps - measured at 50 MHz; meets PCIe Gen 5/6/7 common-clock jitter limits (<150 fs / <100 fs / <67 fs) with margin. |
| Frequency Stability | ±25 ppm - inclusive of initial tolerance, temp variation (–40°C to 105°C), voltage variation (±5%), and 10-year aging; ensures long-term system timing integrity. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5% - dual-voltage support simplifies integration into mixed-rail industrial and telecom boards without level-shifting. |
| Start-up Time | <5 ms - time from 0.95×VDD to valid output; critical for fast-boot applications like baseband units and network switches. |
| Output Enable Timing | tOE-EN = 25 µs, tOE-DIS = 1 µs - enables precise power-gating control of downstream logic clocks without glitching. |
| Max Capacitive Load | 15 pF - defines maximum trace + IC input capacitance; constrains routing length and fanout in high-speed clock distribution. |
Pinout & Package
VSON (DLE-4) package: 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm, 4-pin, exposed pad (non-electrical), moisture sensitivity level MSL1. Designed for reflow-compatible assembly and thermal dissipation in dense layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OE / ST / NC | Input (active-high enable) | Drives output when HIGH (≥1.3 V); pulls LOW (≤0.6 V) to disable clock; no standby function enabled on this variant. |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for oscillator core and output driver; must be low-inductance connection to minimize jitter. |
| 3: OUT | LVCMOS clock output | Single-ended 50 MHz square wave; VOH ≥2.64 V / VOL ≤0.66 V @ 3.3 V, 6.6 mA drive; 40–60 Ω output impedance. |
| 4: VDD | Power supply input | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5%; powers internal LDO and BAW circuitry; requires local 100 nF + 10 µF decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BAW resonator integration | Eliminates external crystal and load capacitors; reduces board area by >50% vs. discrete XO solutions while improving shock/vibration resilience. |
| Integrated LDO regulation | Delivers –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz ripple; allows direct connection to noisy digital rails without additional filtering components. |
| Ultra-low jitter at 50 MHz | 0.4–1.0 ps RMS (12 kHz–20 MHz); enables clean sampling in high-speed ADCs, SERDES, and DDR interfaces requiring tight timing margins. |
| Extended temperature operation | Rated for –40°C to +105°C ambient; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications where ambient exceeds 85°C. |
| Fast output enable/disable | 25 µs enable / 1 µs disable latency; supports dynamic clock gating in power-managed systems without introducing metastability or glitches. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-50.000M-GR | CMOS output, ±50 ppm stability, 2.5 V–3.3 V, 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm SOIC; higher jitter (1.5 ps RMS @ 50 MHz), no OE pin. | Lacks output enable; not suitable for dynamic clock gating; wider stability spec reduces long-term timing margin. | Select only if OE functionality is unnecessary and cost is prioritized over jitter and aging performance. |
| AK2-50.000MHZ-EV-T | LVCMOS, ±20 ppm (–40°C to 85°C), 2.5 V–3.3 V, 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm DLF package; 0.6 ps RMS jitter; no integrated LDO. | Rated only to 85°C; requires external supply filtering for equivalent PSRR; smaller footprint but less thermal margin. | Prefer for commercial-temp applications with strict size constraints; avoid in extended-temp industrial deployments. |
Compared with Si510-50.000M-GR and AK2-50.000MHZ-EV-T, the LMK6CE05000CDLER uniquely combines 105°C operation, ±25 ppm 10-year stability, OE control, and –72 dBc PSRR in a DLE-4 package-making it the only option qualified for high-reliability, thermally demanding, and dynamically gated clocking systems.

FAQ
What is the output enable behavior of the LMK6CE05000CDLER?
The LMK6CE05000CDLER uses Pin 1 as an active-high Output Enable (OE) input. When OE is driven ≥1.3 V (VIH), the 50 MHz LVCMOS output is active; when OE is ≤0.6 V (VIL), the output is disabled within 1 µs. This pin is not configured for standby mode on this variant, and no pull-up/pull-down is required-floating defaults to disabled state per TI specification.
Does the LMK6CE05000CDLER require external load capacitors?
No, the LMK6CE05000CDLER does not require external load capacitors. As a fully integrated BAW oscillator, all resonator and tuning elements are monolithically embedded. The device outputs a buffered LVCMOS signal directly-only proper power decoupling (100 nF ceramic + 10 µF bulk) and controlled-impedance routing to ≤15 pF load are required per the LMK6CE05000CDLER datasheet.
What is the RMS jitter performance of the LMK6CE05000CDLER at 50 MHz?
The LMK6CE05000CDLER achieves 0.4–1.0 ps RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz integration bandwidth) at 50 MHz output, depending on supply voltage and load conditions. This is verified in TI's characterization data and satisfies PCIe Gen 5 (150 fs), Gen 6 (100 fs), and Gen 7 (67 fs) common-clock jitter specifications with significant margin.
Can the LMK6CE05000CDLER operate at 1.8 V supply?
No, the LMK6CE05000CDLER is rated only for 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5% supply operation, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number (per TI's LMK6C ordering guide). The "D" variant (e.g., LMK6CD05000CDLER) supports 1.8 V, but the LMK6CE05000CDLER is specifically configured for 2.5 V/3.3 V and will not function reliably at 1.8 V.
Is the LMK6CE05000CDLER pin-compatible with other LMK6C variants?
Yes, all LMK6C devices-including LMK6CE05000CDLER-use the same 4-pin DLE-4 or DLF-4 VSON package and identical pinout (OE, GND, OUT, VDD). However, electrical behavior differs: only "E"-suffixed parts support OE on Pin 1; "A"-suffixed parts use Pin 1 for standby. Always verify the function suffix and voltage/temperature rating before substitution.
