Product details
Overview
LMK6DA10000ADLFR from Texas Instruments is a factory-programmed, ultra-low-jitter BAW-based LVDS oscillator delivering 100 MHz fixed-frequency output with ±25 ppm total stability over –40°C to 85°C, 2.5V–3.3V supply, and 140 fs RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz). It serves as a high-precision reference clock for PCIe Gen 7-compliant SERDES and 100G/400G optical transport systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMK6DA10000ADLFR datasheet, LMK6DA10000ADLFR pinout, LMK6DA10000ADLFR application, or LMK6DA10000ADLFR equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (DLF-6), functional pin definitions, differential LVDS timing specs, PCIe Gen 7 jitter compliance data, and validated alternative options for high-speed clocking designs.
Technical Context
The LMK6DA10000ADLFR implements TI's integrated Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator with a high-performance fractional divider to generate precise 100 MHz LVDS output. Its architecture includes an on-die LDO delivering –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz and supports active-low Standby (Pin 1) control.
It operates within the LMK6D variant family-distinct from LMK6H/LMK6P/LMK6C-and is specified only for LVDS output, DLF-6 package, and 2.5V–3.3V/–40°C to 85°C operation. No HCSL, LVPECL, or LVCMOS functionality applies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 100 MHz fixed frequency - meets PCIe Gen 7 common clock jitter limit (67 fs) and 100G/400G OTN timing requirements. |
| RMS Jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | 140 fs maximum - ensures sub-picosecond period stability for high-speed serial link bit error rate (BER) < 10⁻¹². |
| Frequency Stability | ±25 ppm total - includes 10-year aging, temperature drift (–40°C to 85°C), voltage variation (±5%), and solder shift. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5% - compatible with standard logic rails; integrated LDO rejects supply noise up to –72 dBc at 500 kHz. |
| Output Type | LVDS - differential 350 mV typical swing, 1.2 V common-mode, 150–250 ps rise/fall time, 45–55% duty cycle. |
| Start-up Time | < 5 ms - enables fast system boot in telecom line cards and FPGA-based accelerators requiring deterministic clock availability. |
| Standby Current | 6–13 mA - low-power state activated via active-low Pin 1, supporting dynamic power gating in energy-sensitive platforms. |
Pinout & Package
LMK6DA10000ADLFR uses the 6-pin VSON DLF-6 package (2.5 mm × 2.0 mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in optical modules and switch ASICs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Standby (ST) | Active-low enable control: drives outputs to high-impedance when pulled low; no external pull required in normal operation. |
| 2 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no electrical function. |
| 3 | GND | Primary ground reference for oscillator core and output driver; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 | OUTP | Positive LVDS output - delivers complementary 100 MHz clock signal referenced to OUTN; 100 Ω termination required. |
| 5 | OUTN | Negative LVDS output - forms differential pair with OUTP; matched trace length critical for jitter performance. |
| 6 | VDD | Power input - accepts 2.5 V or 3.3 V ±5%; requires local 100 nF + 1 µF decoupling adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BAW Resonator Integration | Monolithic TI-fabricated Bulk-Acoustic Wave resonator eliminates external crystal, reducing board area and improving shock/vibration resilience. |
| PCIe Gen 7 Compliance | Meets 67 fs common-clock jitter limit at 100 MHz - validated for use as primary reference in next-gen server root complexes and CXL switches. |
| Differential LVDS Output | Low-noise 350 mV swing with 150–250 ps edge rates enables robust 100+ mm trace routing without signal integrity degradation. |
| Integrated LDO Regulation | –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz suppresses switching noise from shared DC/DC rails, eliminating need for external LDO in most applications. |
| Small-Die DLF Package | 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm footprint saves >30% board space vs. legacy 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm oscillators - ideal for QSFP-DD and OSFP module designs. |
Applications
| 56G/112G PAM4 Clocking | 100G/400G Optical Transport |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level timing source feeding PCIe clock buffer trees with minimal additive jitter. Use Value: Validated 0.028 ps common-clock jitter at 100 MHz satisfies PCIe Gen 7 specification without additional cleanup circuitry. |
Use Scenario: Precision instrumentation and test equipment using Xilinx Versal or Intel Agilex FPGAs for real-time signal processing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable, low-drift clock for ADC sampling, digital down-conversion, and deterministic I/O timing. Use Value: ±25 ppm stability over –40°C to 85°C eliminates recalibration needs in uncontrolled industrial enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-frequency LVDS oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMK6D0E10000ADLFR | Same LMK6D family, identical 100 MHz LVDS output, but uses Pin 1 as Output Enable (active-high) instead of Standby (active-low). | Requires active-high enable logic; not drop-in compatible with standby-controlled power sequencing. | Select when system control logic drives OE high to activate clock; verify reset timing against LMK6DA10000ADLFR's ST-active-low behavior. |
| Si510-100M000-AG | CMOS-based XO with 100 MHz LVDS output; 200 fs RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz); ±20 ppm stability; 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm DFN package. | Larger footprint, higher jitter, no integrated LDO - requires external regulation and tighter supply filtering. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 60 fs higher jitter and larger size are acceptable; avoid in PCIe Gen 7 or 400G OTN. |
Compared with LMK6DA10000ADLFR, LMK6D0E10000ADLFR offers identical timing performance but inverted control logic, while Si510-100M000-AG trades BAW-level jitter and integration for broader vendor availability and lower unit cost - making it suitable only for non-critical clocking tiers.

FAQ
What is the exact output frequency and tolerance of the LMK6DA10000ADLFR?
The LMK6DA10000ADLFR is factory-programmed for a precise 100 MHz output frequency with ±25 ppm total frequency stability. This includes initial tolerance, temperature variation (–40°C to 85°C), supply voltage drift (±5%), solder shift, and 10-year aging - all verified per TI SNAS826G specification.
Does the LMK6DA10000ADLFR support multiple output types like LVPECL or HCSL?
No. The LMK6DA10000ADLFR is strictly an LVDS-output device within the LMK6D variant family. Data sheet Section 4 explicitly restricts LVPECL, HCSL, and LVCMOS functionality to LMK6P, LMK6H, and LMK6C variants respectively - those features do not apply to LMK6DA10000ADLFR.
What is the function of Pin 1 on the LMK6DA10000ADLFR?
Pin 1 on the LMK6DA10000ADLFR is the Standby (ST) input, configured as active-low per the "A" suffix in the part number. Pulling Pin 1 low places the device in standby mode (6–13 mA current draw), disabling LVDS outputs; releasing it (or tying to VDD) enables normal operation.
Is the LMK6DA10000ADLFR compliant with PCIe Gen 7 timing requirements?
Yes. At 100 MHz output, the LMK6DA10000ADLFR achieves 0.028 ps common-clock jitter - well below the PCIe Gen 7 specification limit of 67 fs - and is explicitly cited in TI documentation as compliant for Gen 1 through Gen 7 reference clock applications.
What package type and dimensions does the LMK6DA10000ADLFR use?
The LMK6DA10000ADLFR uses the VSON DLF-6 package: 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm footprint with six terminals. This matches TI's standardized DLF package designation for LMK6D/LMK6H/LMK6P devices and is distinct from the larger DLE-6 (3.2 mm × 2.5 mm) variant.
