NBXSGA008LN1TAG

Overview

The NBXSGA008LN1TAG is a single-frequency crystal oscillator (XO) from onsemi’s PureEdge/C0116 family, designed for 2.5 V or 3.3 V LVPECL clock generation applications. It utilizes a high-Q fundamental mode crystal and a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) multiplier to deliver an output frequency of 161.1328 MHz with ultra-low jitter and phase noise. The device features hermetically sealed ceramic SMD packaging in a 6-pin CLCC format. Key electrical specifications include a typical RMS phase jitter of 0.5 ps between 12 kHz and 20 MHz, a power supply current of approximately 91 mA at 2.5 V, and total frequency stability of ±50 ppm.

Feature Summary

• LVPECL differential output with 700 mV amplitude
• Ultra-low jitter: 0.5 ps RMS (12 kHz to 20 MHz)
• Hermetically sealed ceramic SMD package (CLCC-6)
• High Q fundamental mode crystal with PLL multiplier

Applications

• Networking / Telecom systems
• Storage equipment
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GE)
• Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's Tape and Reel Packaging Specification Brochure (BRD8011/D) to confirm part orientation and tape dimensions. Confirm that the required quantity matches the available reel sizes of 100 or 1,000 units. Ensure compatibility with the specified operating voltage range of 2.5 V ±5% or 3.3 V ±10% before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 161.1328 MHz LVPECL clock signal is required for high-speed networking or storage interfaces. The device supports both 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic levels, offering flexibility in system design. Consider the hermetically sealed ceramic package if environmental robustness against shock, vibration, and thermal stress is necessary for the application environment.

Part Context

This oscillator belongs to the PureEdge/C0116 clock family, which provides accurate and precision clock solutions. It is functionally similar to other devices in the NBXSGA series, such as the NBXSGA008LNHTAG, which shares the same core oscillator specifications but differs in shipping quantity per reel.

Replacement Considerations

The NBXSGA008LNHTAG serves as a direct functional substitute with identical electrical characteristics, differing only in the shipping quantity (100 units per reel versus 1,000 units). Verify package compatibility and ensure the replacement meets the same MIL-STD-833 mechanical reliability standards.

FAQ

How is the Output Enable (OE) pin configured?

The OE pin accepts LVTTL/LVCMOS control signals. When left floating, it defaults to a logic HIGH state, keeping the output active. A LOW level input places the output pins in a High-Z state.

What is the recommended termination for the LVPECL outputs?

The CLK and CLK_n outputs should typically be loaded with 50 Ω receiver termination resistors connected to VTT, where VTT equals VDD minus 2.0 V.

What are the maximum ratings for the positive power supply?

The maximum rating for the positive power supply (VDD) is 4.6 V when GND is at 0 V. Exceeding this stress rating may damage the device.
