510GCA-CAAG

Overview

The Skyworks Solutions Inc. 510GCA-CAAG is a programmable standard clock oscillator from the Si510 series, designed for general-purpose applications. It operates at a nominal supply voltage of 2.5 V with a range of 2.25 V to 2.75 V. The device features CMOS output format and supports frequencies up to 250 MHz with a frequency stability of ±20 ppm. It utilizes a crystal as the basic resonator and is housed in a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm. The component includes an enable/disable function and has a maximum supply current of 26 mA.

Feature Summary

• Programmable frequency generation within the 0.1-250 MHz range
• Compact surface-mount package suitable for space-constrained designs
• CMOS output interface with dedicated enable control pin

Applications

• General-purpose clocking for digital systems
• Data communication interfaces requiring precise timing
• Embedded systems needing customizable clock frequencies

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required programming parameters, as this is a programmable device. Confirm the exact frequency and stability requirements with the manufacturer or authorized distributor prior to order placement, as factory programming may be required. Ensure compatibility with the 2.5 V supply voltage and CMOS load conditions specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-frequency oscillator does not meet the design's timing needs. The Si510 series offers flexibility through programmability. Consider the 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm footprint for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the ±20 ppm stability meets the system's jitter and phase noise requirements. Compare against other Si510 variants if different voltage levels or packages are preferred.

Part Context

The 510GCA-CAAG belongs to the Si510 family of standard oscillators by Skyworks Solutions. This series provides low-power, high-performance clock solutions for various electronic applications. The 'GCA' suffix typically indicates a specific package type and voltage range within the broader product line. These oscillators are widely used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct parameter-equivalent replacements include other Si510 series models with matching frequency and package specifications. Check for availability of pre-programmed units versus blank devices requiring custom programming. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 2.5 V operating voltage and CMOS output characteristics.
