Product details
Overview
LMK6DA15625ADLFT from Texas Instruments is a factory-programmed, ultra-low-jitter BAW-based LVDS oscillator delivering 156.25 MHz output with ±25 ppm total frequency stability, 100 fs typical RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), and operation across 2.5V–3.3V supply at –40°C to +85°C - deployed as a reference clock in 100G/400G optical transport and PCIe Gen 7 systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMK6DA15625ADLFT datasheet, LMK6DA15625ADLFT pinout, LMK6DA15625ADLFT application, or LMK6DA15625ADLFT equivalent, key selection criteria include its DLF package (2.5 mm × 2.0 mm), Pin 1 Standby (active low) control, LVDS differential drive compliance, and guaranteed jitter performance at 156.25 MHz for high-speed SERDES timing integrity.
Technical Context
The LMK6DA15625ADLFT integrates a Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator directly into its VSON package, eliminating external crystal dependencies and enabling single-chip, fixed-frequency clock generation with mechanical robustness. Its fractional divider architecture supports precise 156.25 MHz synthesis without external PLL components.
It features an integrated LDO delivering –72 dBc PSRR at 500 kHz ripple, ensuring immunity to supply noise in dense PCB environments. The device enters standby mode (<13 mA ICC) when Pin 1 is pulled low, with <5 ms startup time and sub-µs output disable latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 156.25 MHz - precisely factory-programmed; meets IEEE 802.3ba/100GBASE-KR and PCIe Gen 7 common-clock jitter limits. |
| RMS Jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) | 100 fs typical / 125 fs max - enables reliable sampling margin in 56G/112G PAM4 receivers and high-speed ADCs. |
| Frequency Stability | ±25 ppm total - includes aging over 10 years, temperature drift (–40°C to +85°C), and voltage variation (±5% on 2.5V/3.3V). |
| Output Type | LVDS - delivers 250–450 mV differential swing into 100 Ω load; supports point-to-point or multi-drop routing with controlled impedance. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5V–3.3V ±5% - dual-voltage compatibility simplifies integration into mixed-supply FPGA/ASIC platforms. |
| Package | DLF (VSON-6) - 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm footprint with 0.4 mm pitch; optimized for space-constrained optical module and switch ASIC designs. |
| Standby Control | Pin 1 active-low ST - reduces current to ≤13 mA while preserving state; enables dynamic power gating in network line cards. |
Pinout & Package
LMK6DA15625ADLFT uses a 6-pin VSON (DLF) package measuring 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm with 0.4 mm pitch. Pin 1 is dedicated to Standby (active low); pins 4 and 5 provide complementary LVDS outputs; pin 6 supplies VDD; pin 3 is GND; pin 2 is no-connect (NC) per variant configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Standby (ST) | Active-low enable: pulling low disables output and reduces ICC to ≤13 mA; must be tied high or controlled via GPIO for normal operation. |
| 2 | No Connect (NC) | Not bonded; left floating per LMK6D variant specification - no routing or termination required. |
| 3 | GND | Primary ground reference; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane for jitter minimization. |
| 4 | OUTP | Positive LVDS output; routed differentially with matched length/impedance to OUTN (pin 5) to maintain <0.1 ps skew. |
| 5 | OUTN | Negative LVDS output; forms 100 Ω differential pair with OUTP (pin 4); AC-coupled via 0.1 µF capacitors in most implementations. |
| 6 | VDD | Power input (2.5V–3.3V); requires local 100 nF + 10 µF decoupling adjacent to pin for PSRR optimization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BAW resonator integration | Eliminates external crystal and load capacitors - reduces BOM count and board area by >30% vs discrete XO solutions. |
| Ultra-low jitter at 156.25 MHz | 100 fs typical RMS (12 kHz–20 MHz) - meets PCIe Gen 7 SRNS jitter limit (67 fs) with 1.5× design margin. |
| Integrated LDO with –72 dBc PSRR | Rejects 500 kHz supply ripple without external regulators - enables direct connection to noisy SoC/FPGA rails. |
| Sub-5 ms start-up time | Enables rapid system boot in telecom line cards and reconfigurable optical modules requiring fast clock availability. |
| Small DLF package (2.5 mm × 2.0 mm) | Supports high-density placement near SERDES transceivers - critical for QSFP-DD/OSFP module thermal and signal integrity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMK6D0I15625ADLFT | Same LMK6D family, identical 156.25 MHz LVDS output and DLF package, but uses Pin 2 for Standby (active low) instead of Pin 1. | Requires PCB layout change to route standby control to Pin 2; otherwise drop-in compatible in function and timing. | Select when existing design already routes standby to Pin 2 or when consolidating inventory across multiple LMK6D variants. |
| Si510-156.25M-AG | CMOS-output oscillator (not LVDS); 1.8V–3.3V supply; ±20 ppm stability; 1.3 ps RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) - higher than LMK6DA15625ADLFT's 100 fs. | Suitable only where single-ended drive suffices and jitter margin permits; not compliant with PCIe Gen 7 or 400G OTN specs. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-critical timing paths where LVDS differential signaling is unnecessary. |
Compared with LMK6DA15625ADLFT, LMK6D0I15625ADLFT offers identical performance with alternate pin mapping, while Si510-156.25M-AG trades 13× higher jitter and single-ended output for broader voltage flexibility and lower unit cost - making it unsuitable for next-gen SERDES but viable for legacy backplane clocks.

FAQ
What is the output type and load requirement for LMK6DA15625ADLFT?
The LMK6DA15625ADLFT provides LVDS differential output with 250–450 mV peak-to-peak swing into a 100 Ω differential load. It requires AC coupling via 0.1 µF capacitors on both OUTP and OUTN lines, and proper 100 Ω termination at the receiver end to maintain signal integrity and minimize reflections. DC-coupled operation is not supported.
Does LMK6DA15625ADLFT support multiple supply voltages?
Yes, LMK6DA15625ADLFT operates across 2.5V ±5% and 3.3V ±5% supply ranges, as specified in its "A" voltage/temperature rating. It does not support 1.8V operation - that variant uses suffix "B" (e.g., LMK6DBxxx). The internal LDO maintains regulation and PSRR performance across this dual-voltage range without external adjustment.
How is standby mode activated on LMK6DA15625ADLFT?
Standby mode on LMK6DA15625ADLFT is activated by pulling Pin 1 (ST) low to GND. This reduces supply current to ≤13 mA while holding internal state. The device resumes full operation within <5 ms after Pin 1 returns high. Pin 2 is NC and must remain unconnected - no pull-up or pull-down is required.
What is the jitter performance of LMK6DA15625ADLFT at 156.25 MHz?
At 156.25 MHz, LMK6DA15625ADLFT delivers 100 fs typical / 125 fs maximum RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz integration bandwidth), –156.5 dBc/Hz phase noise at 10 MHz offset, and 13 ps peak-to-peak period jitter. These values meet and exceed PCIe Gen 7 common-clock (67 fs) and SRNS jitter requirements.
Is LMK6DA15625ADLFT pin-compatible with other LMK6D variants?
LMK6DA15625ADLFT shares the same DLF-6 package and pinout with all LMK6D variants (e.g., LMK6D0I15625ADLFT), including identical VDD, GND, OUTP, and OUTN locations. Only the standby/enable pin assignment differs: LMK6DA15625ADLFT uses Pin 1 (ST), while LMK6D0I15625ADLFT uses Pin 2. No other pin functions vary.
