510BCA-AAAG

Overview

The Skyworks Solutions Inc. 510BCA-AAAG is a programmable crystal oscillator (XO) from the Si510 series, designed for high-performance clock generation. It features an LVDS output format and operates on a 3.3 V supply voltage with a maximum current draw of 19 mA. The device supports frequencies ranging from 0.1 MHz to 250 MHz and offers a frequency stability of 20 ppm. Encased in a compact 7 mm x 5 mm surface-mount package with six leads, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a load capacitance of 15 pF and a duty cycle of up to 52%.

Feature Summary

• Supports programmable single-frequency operation across a wide range from 0.1 MHz to 250 MHz.
• Provides differential LVDS output signals for robust noise immunity and signal integrity.
• Integrates enable/disable functionality via dedicated control pins for power management.

Applications

• High-speed data communication interfaces requiring precise clock synchronization
• Network infrastructure equipment such as routers and switches
• Telecommunications base stations and transmission systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency configuration required for your application, as this is a programmable device. Confirm that the LVDS output level matches the input requirements of the downstream component. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Check for any specific ordering suffixes if reel packaging is preferred over cut tape. Validate pinout compatibility during PCB layout to ensure correct signal routing.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a stable, low-jitter clock source with LVDS outputs is needed for digital circuits. Consider the 20 ppm stability requirement against system timing budgets. Evaluate the 7x5 mm footprint against available board space constraints. Compare power consumption metrics with other oscillators if energy efficiency is critical. Ensure the programmable nature allows for future design flexibility without hardware changes.
