510AAB-CAAG

Overview

The Skyworks 510AAB-CAAG is a programmable crystal oscillator (XO) from the Si510 series, designed for high-frequency applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 170 MHz with a range up to 250 MHz. The device utilizes LVPECL output format and requires a 3.3 V supply voltage. It is housed in a compact 6-SMD, no-lead package measuring 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm. This component supports surface-mount technology and is intended for precise clock generation in digital systems requiring low jitter and stable performance.

Feature Summary

• Supports programmable frequency generation within the 170 MHz to 250 MHz range
• Features LVPECL output format for high-speed signal integrity
• Operates on a standard 3.3 V power supply
• Utilizes a compact 6-SMD no-lead surface-mount package

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency configuration required during ordering, as this is a programmable device. Confirm that the LVPECL output compatibility matches the receiving circuitry. Ensure the 3.3 V supply rail meets the noise and stability requirements specified in the datasheet. Check for any specific programming instructions or tools needed from Skyworks Solutions to set the desired operating frequency before deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed high-frequency clock between 170 MHz and 250 MHz is needed with LVPECL outputs. Consider the 6-SMD package size for space-constrained PCB layouts. Ensure the system design accommodates the 3.3 V logic levels. Compare against other Si510 variants if different output formats like CMOS or LVDS are required instead of LVPECL.

Part Context

The 510AAB-CAAG belongs to the Skyworks Si510 family of programmable oscillators. This series is known for providing flexible clock solutions with low phase noise. The 'AAB' suffix typically denotes the LVPECL output type and 3.3 V operation, while 'CAAG' specifies the package and temperature range. It serves as a critical timing element in modern electronic designs requiring precise frequency synthesis.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Skyworks Si510 models with compatible LVPECL outputs and similar frequency ranges. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications such as supply voltage and output swing. Alternative manufacturers may offer generic XO components, but ensure they meet the specific jitter and stability requirements of the original design.
