500DCAE-ACF

Overview

The Skyworks 500DCAE-ACF is a programmable differential silicon oscillator from the Si500D series. It operates within a frequency range of 900 kHz to 200 MHz and utilizes LVDS output format. The device requires a 3.3V supply voltage and features an SMD/SMT surface-mount package. It is designed for applications requiring precise clock signals with low jitter characteristics typical of silicon oscillators.

Feature Summary

• Programmable frequency generation capability across a wide range
• Differential LVDS output interface for signal integrity
• Silicon-based resonator technology for compact design

Applications

• High-speed data communication interfaces
• Network synchronization equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as this component may be discontinued or subject to limited supply. Confirm exact ordering suffixes for specific frequency and package requirements. Check manufacturer documentation for end-of-life notifications or product change notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a programmable differential oscillator with LVDS outputs is required at 3.3V. Ensure the application supports the Si500D series specifications. Compare against fixed-frequency alternatives if programming flexibility is not needed. Verify thermal and electrical constraints match the system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Si500D family of differential silicon oscillators. It shares common packaging and interface standards with other models in the series, such as the 500DDAE and 500DCAA variants. The family offers various frequency options and output formats to suit different timing requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Si500D series with compatible frequencies. Consider the 500DCAF-ACF or 500DCAE25M0000ACF if available. Verify pinout and electrical compatibility before substitution.
