SN74S124D

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Overview

The SN74S124D is a dual voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Texas Instruments in the Schottky logic family. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The device supports frequency outputs between 25 MHz and 85 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 1 VDC to 5 VDC. Designed for commercial applications, it functions reliably at temperatures from 0°C to +70°C.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Feature Summary

• Dual independent voltage-controlled oscillators integrated into a single 16-pin SOIC package
• Schottky logic technology providing high-speed performance and low power consumption
• Frequency range of 25 MHz to 85 MHz with a 1 VDC to 5 VDC tuning voltage input
• RoHS compliant construction with NIPDAU lead finish

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Applications

• Voltage-controlled clock generation circuits
• Frequency modulation systems
• Phase-locked loop (PLL) reference sources

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the 'SN74S124D' suffix to ensure the SOIC-16 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements align with the 'Yes' designation found in the packaging addendum. Check the active production status on official distributor channels before finalizing procurement plans.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when two independent VCOs are required in a surface-mount design. Ensure the application requires the 25 MHz to 85 MHz frequency range and 1 VDC to 5 VDC tuning capability. Verify that the 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the target system.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74S124 series, which includes PDIP variants such as the SN74S124N. The 'D' suffix specifically denotes the SOIC package format. Other qualified versions include the military-grade SN54S124J. The device is categorized under catalog products for general-purpose use.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the SN74S124D.A variant, which shares identical electrical specifications and pinout configuration. Both parts utilize the same SOIC-16 footprint and maintain functional compatibility within the SN74S124 family.
