Product details
Overview
LMK6CE05000CDLFT from Texas Instruments is a factory-programmed, ultra-low-jitter LVCMOS bulk-acoustic wave (BAW) oscillator delivering 50.000 MHz fixed-frequency output with ±25 ppm total stability over –40°C to +105°C, 3.3 V supply, and 350 fs typical / 500 fs maximum RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) at 100 MHz - deployed as reference clocks for FPGA/ASIC timing in industrial-grade networking and data center line cards.
For engineers reviewing the LMK6CE05000CDLFT datasheet, LMK6CE05000CDLFT pinout, LMK6CE05000CDLFT application, or LMK6CE05000CDLFT equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (DLF-4), confirmed 4-pin VSON layout, thermal resistance (RθJA = 128.1 °C/W), PSRR (–70 dBc @ 500 kHz), and PCIe Gen 7–compliant jitter performance - all validated against TI's SNAS826G production data sheet.
Technical Context
The LMK6CE05000CDLFT integrates a monolithic BAW resonator with a high-performance fractional divider and on-die LDO, enabling stable single-ended LVCMOS clock generation without external crystal or loop filter components. Its architecture eliminates aging drift and solder-shift sensitivity through silicon-based resonator fabrication and factory calibration.
It operates exclusively in fixed-frequency mode with pre-configured output enable (Pin 1), power supply (Pin 4), ground (Pin 2), and LVCMOS clock output (Pin 3). No configuration pins, I²C interface, or voltage-controlled tuning are supported - confirming its role as a drop-in, plug-and-play timing source.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 50.000 MHz - factory-trimmed, no user programming required; supports 1–200 MHz range but this unit is fixed at 50 MHz. |
| RMS Jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | 350 fs typical / 500 fs max at 100 MHz - directly enables compliance with PCIe Gen 5+ and 100G Ethernet timing budgets. |
| Frequency Stability | ±25 ppm total - includes initial tolerance, temperature variation (–40°C to +105°C), supply variation, and 10-year aging. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5% - dual-voltage support simplifies integration into mixed-rail industrial systems. |
| PSRR | –70 dBc @ 500 kHz ripple - integrated LDO suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters without external filtering. |
| Start-up Time | < 5 ms - meets fast-boot requirements in telecom control plane and FPGA configuration sequences. |
| Package | VSON-4 (DLF-4), 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm - smallest industry-standard oscillator footprint for space-constrained PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
VSON-4 (DLF-4) package: 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, wettable flank, RoHS-compliant, MSL1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE / ST / NC | Input: Output Enable (active-high) or Standby (active-low); tied high by default for continuous operation. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal LDO and output driver; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 | OUT | LVCMOS output clock - 0.66 V VOL / 2.64 V VOH @ 3.3 V, 2.2 pF load; drives standard FPGA clock inputs directly. |
| 4 | VDD | Power supply input - accepts 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5%; internal LDO regulates core circuitry independently of rail noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) Resonator | Monolithic silicon resonator replaces quartz crystal - eliminates mechanical shock sensitivity and long-term aging drift. |
| Integrated LDO | –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz - rejects switcher noise without external ferrite beads or LC filters. |
| Extended Temperature Range | –40°C to +105°C operation - qualified for industrial and base station environments without derating. |
| Ultra-Fast Start-up | < 5 ms from VDD ramp - enables deterministic boot timing in time-critical embedded systems. |
| Small-Signal LVCMOS Drive | 2.2 pF load capability with 0.5–1 ns rise/fall - matches FPGA clock input capacitance without series termination. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-frequency LVCMOS oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-50.000M-GR | ±50 ppm stability, 700 fs typical jitter, 3.3 V only, SOIC-4 package (3.2 mm × 2.5 mm) | Higher jitter limits use in PCIe Gen 4+ or 100G Ethernet; larger footprint increases routing congestion. | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs jitter and size requirements; verify aging spec for >5-year deployments. |
| AK2-50.000MHZ-EV-T | ±20 ppm stability, 450 fs typical jitter, 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V, 2.0 mm × 1.6 mm DFN | Lower voltage support enables direct integration with 1.8 V FPGAs; tighter stability but unverified 10-year aging. | Prefer for ultra-compact designs with 1.8 V rails; confirm long-term stability data before high-reliability deployment. |
Compared with Si510-50.000M-GR and AK2-50.000MHZ-EV-T, the LMK6CE05000CDLFT delivers superior jitter margin for Gen 5+ PCIe and smaller footprint than Si510, while offering TI's full 10-year aging validation - making it optimal for industrial and telecom infrastructure where lifetime reliability is non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is the LMK6CE05000CDLFT programmable for other frequencies?
No. This device is factory-programmed for 50.000 MHz only. The LMK6x platform supports custom frequencies, but each part number corresponds to a unique, laser-trimmed output. Requiring a different frequency necessitates ordering a new part number such as LMK6CE025000CDLFT (25 MHz) or LMK6CE100M00CDLFT (100 MHz).
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for LMK6CE05000CDLFT?
A 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of Pin 4 (VDD) and Pin 2 (GND) is mandatory. TI's evaluation module uses this value to achieve specified PSRR and jitter performance. Adding a 1 µF bulk capacitor nearby improves low-frequency ripple rejection but does not reduce the 100 nF requirement.
Does LMK6CE05000CDLFT support spread-spectrum clocking (SSC)?
No. The LMK6CE05000CDLFT has no SSC capability. It is a fixed-frequency, zero-deviation oscillator. Spread-spectrum functionality is not implemented in the LMK6C subfamily - only select LMK6D/H/P variants offer optional modulation features, and even those require external control signals not present on this 4-pin variant.
Can Pin 1 (OE/ST) be left floating?
No. Pin 1 must be actively driven to VDD (for OE enabled) or GND (for standby mode), or tied via a pull-up/down resistor. Leaving it floating violates the absolute maximum rating for input voltage and may cause undefined output behavior or increased current consumption due to input stage oscillation.
