510ACA-CAAG

Overview

The Skyworks Solutions Inc. 510ACA-CAAG is a programmable crystal oscillator (XO) belonging to the Si510 series. It operates at a supply voltage of 3.3V and features an LVPECL output format. The device supports frequencies ranging from 0.1 MHz to 250 MHz and includes an enable/disable function for power management. It is housed in a surface-mount package with dimensions of 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm, designed for industrial temperature ranges between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Programmable frequency generation capability within the specified range
• LVPECL differential output interface for high-speed signal integrity
• Integrated enable/disable control pin for active power management

Applications

• Industrial communication systems requiring precise clocking
• Data acquisition equipment needing stable timing references
• Test and measurement instruments utilizing programmable oscillators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific programming requirements and frequency configuration before procurement, as this is a programmable device. Confirm that the LVPECL output compatibility matches the receiving circuitry design. Ensure the 3.3V supply voltage aligns with the system power architecture. Check for any specific ordering suffixes required by the manufacturer for tape-and-reel packaging versus cut tape options.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a flexible, programmable clock source is required rather than a fixed-frequency alternative. Consider the LVPECL output format if differential signaling is necessary for noise immunity in high-speed applications. Evaluate the 5x3.2mm footprint against available PCB space constraints. Verify that the programmability process meets the production timeline needs compared to fixed-frequency oscillators.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Si510 family of standard clock oscillators manufactured by Skyworks Solutions. The series offers various output formats and frequency ranges, catering to diverse electronic design requirements. The 510ACA-CAAG specifically utilizes the CAAG suffix to denote its programmable nature and LVPECL output type within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct parameter-equivalent replacements may include other Skyworks Si510 variants with matching LVPECL outputs and similar footprints. Cross-reference with fixed-frequency LVPECL oscillators if programmability is not strictly required, ensuring frequency and stability specifications are met.
