SG-8503CA-PRLF

Overview

The SG-8503CA-PRLF is a dual or quad selectable programmable crystal oscillator manufactured by Epson. It operates within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 800 MHz and utilizes LVPECL output signaling. The device supports supply voltages between 2.5V and 3.3V and features enable/disable control functionality. It is housed in a compact 6-SMD, no lead surface mount package. The component is designed for high-frequency applications requiring precise clock generation with stable performance across operating temperatures.

Feature Summary

• Dual or quad selectable output configuration
• LVPECL output signaling standard
• Programmable frequency generation capability
• Enable/Disable control interface

Applications

• High-frequency digital system clock generation
• Communication equipment timing sources
• Network infrastructure components
• Industrial control systems requiring precise synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact frequency and tolerance requirements for your application. Ensure that the LVPECL output voltage levels match the input specifications of the receiving logic devices. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Check the operating temperature range against your system's thermal environment to ensure reliable operation under all conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a programmable solution with LVPECL outputs is required for frequencies up to 800 MHz. Consider the dual or quad output flexibility if multiple clock domains are needed from a single source. Evaluate the power supply voltage compatibility with your system architecture. Assess the need for enable/disable functionality for power management strategies in your design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SG-850 series of programmable oscillators from Epson. The series offers flexible output configurations and wide frequency ranges suitable for demanding electronic applications. The SG-8503CA variant specifically provides dual or quad selectable outputs, distinguishing it from other models in the family that may offer different output counts or signal types.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other SG-850 series models with compatible pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that any replacement maintains the LVPECL output standard and frequency range. Check for equivalent enable/disable functionality and supply voltage requirements. Consult manufacturer documentation for cross-reference information to ensure functional equivalence.
