Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency configuration and output load requirements against your system design before procurement. Confirm that the I2C address and control protocol match your microcontroller or FPGA capabilities. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your environmental conditions. Check for any specific ordering suffixes required for tape and reel packaging if applicable to your assembly line.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low jitter and high stability are critical for differential clock distribution. The I2C programmability allows for flexible frequency adjustments without hardware changes. Consider the 8-SMD package size for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify compatibility with 2.5V or 3.3V logic levels for seamless integration into existing digital systems.

Part Context

The SG-8506 series represents EPSON's line of programmable oscillators designed for demanding applications requiring precise clock signals. This model specifically targets high-frequency operations up to 800 MHz. It belongs to the broader family of SPXOs that offer enhanced flexibility through digital control interfaces compared to standard fixed-frequency oscillators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other SG-8506 variants with different frequency presets or package options. Cross-reference pinout and electrical specifications carefully when considering alternative manufacturers. Ensure that any replacement maintains the LVPECL output format and I2C control compatibility.
