515BCA148M500AAGR

Oscillators Overview

The Skyworks Solutions Inc. 515BCA148M500AAGR is a Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) from the Si515 series, operating at a nominal frequency of 148.5 MHz with a tuning range of 0.1 to 250 MHz. It features LVDS output format and operates on a single supply voltage of 3.3 V, with a minimum current consumption of 26 mA. The device supports an enable/disable function via Pin 2 and is housed in a compact 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm SMD package. It maintains a frequency stability of ±25 ppm over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Oscillators Feature Summary

• Voltage-controlled operation allows for precise frequency adjustment within the specified tuning range.
• LVDS output format provides high-speed differential signaling capabilities.
• Integrated enable/disable control pin facilitates power management and system synchronization.

Oscillators Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure requiring stable clock sources
• Data communication equipment needing frequency agility
• Test and measurement instruments

Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AGR' indicates reel packaging when placing orders. Confirm that the 148.5 MHz nominal frequency aligns with system requirements. Ensure the LVDS output interface matches the receiving circuitry. Validate the 3.3V supply compatibility. Check lead times as production cycles may vary.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a VCXO is required instead of a fixed-frequency oscillator. Consider the 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm footprint for space-constrained designs. Verify that the LVDS output drives the load correctly. Compare current consumption against other Si515 variants if power efficiency is critical. Ensure the tuning range meets the application's jitter or phase modulation needs.

Oscillators Part Context

This part belongs to the Si515 family of general-purpose VCXOs from Skyworks Solutions. It complements the standard XO models like the 511BBA148M500BAG by offering frequency tunability. The Si515 series is designed for applications requiring low phase noise and wide tuning ranges in compact surface-mount packages.
