M210228MLC 125.000000

Overview

The M210228MLC 125.000000 is a surface-mount clock oscillator manufactured by MtronPTI, designed for high-performance timing applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 125 MHz and utilizes QiK Chip technology to deliver superior jitter performance with less than 0.25 ps RMS jitter across the 12 kHz to 20 MHz bandwidth. The device supports multiple supply voltages including 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V, and features LVPECL, LVDS, or CML output options. Housed in a compact 5x7 mm package, it offers exceptional frequency stability and phase noise characteristics suitable for demanding telecommunications and networking environments.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output format required for your application, as this series supports LVPECL, LVDS, and CML variants. Confirm the operating voltage compatibility with your system design, noting the support for 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V levels. Ensure the physical footprint matches the 5x7 mm package dimensions specified in the datasheet. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low jitter is critical for signal integrity in high-speed data transmission. The availability of multiple output types allows adaptation to different receiver input requirements without changing the oscillator core. Consider the wide temperature range and stability specifications if the device will operate in variable environmental conditions. The QiK Chip architecture ensures long-term reliability compared to traditional SAW replacements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M210x Series of clock oscillators from MtronPTI, which are engineered for high-frequency stability and low phase noise. The series leverages fundamental 3rd overtone crystal technology combined with specialized IC design to achieve performance metrics that exceed standard surface acoustic wave devices. These oscillators are widely used in sectors requiring precise timing synchronization and robust signal generation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other M210x series variants with adjusted frequencies or output formats. Cross-reference with MtronPTI documentation to ensure pinout and electrical parameter compatibility. Verify that any replacement maintains the required jitter specifications and voltage tolerances for the target application.
