NBVSPA042LNHTAG

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Overview

The NBVSPA042LNHTAG is a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) from the PureEdge/C0116 series, operating at a fixed output frequency of 74.25 MHz. It utilizes a high Q fundamental mode crystal and a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) multiplier to generate an LVDS differential clock signal. The device features a pullable range of ±100 ppm with a frequency stability of ±50 ppm. It operates on a 3.3 V power supply with a typical current consumption of 75 mA. The component is housed in a hermetically sealed 6-pin CLCC package (Case 848AB, dimensions 7x5 mm) and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix 'LN' corresponds to the 7x5 mm CLCC form factor (Case 848AB) as defined in the ordering information table. Confirm that the factory-configured frequency matches the required 74.25 MHz specification for the target application. Ensure compatibility with the 3.3 V LVDS logic levels and termination requirements.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 74.25 MHz clock source with voltage-controlled tuning capability is required. The device is suitable for applications demanding low phase noise and high frequency stability. Designers must account for the 100 Ω differential termination across the CLK and CLK pins and ensure the control voltage bandwidth meets the system's modulation requirements.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Part Context

This part belongs to the NBVSPXXXX series within ON Semiconductor’s PureEdge/C0116 clock family. The series provides precision clock generation solutions using silicon-based PLL technology. Other variants in the series offer different fixed frequencies ranging from 60 MHz to 700 MHz, all sharing similar electrical characteristics and packaging options.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same series include other NBVSPA0xx devices with different factory-set frequencies, provided the output frequency requirement can be met by another variant. Cross-series replacement requires verification of pinout compatibility, voltage levels, and package dimensions.
