LVPECL Frequency VCXO
IDT8CA3V76-0137
DATA SHEET
General Description
The IDT8CA3V76-0137 is a single output (155.52MHz) LVPECL
VCXO. The device uses IDT’s fourth generation FemtoClock® NG
technology for an optimum of high clock frequency and low phase
noise performance and (<0.5 ps RMS 12kHz - 20MHz). The device
accepts 3.3V supply and is packaged in a small, lead-free (RoHS 6)
6-lead ceramic 5mm x 7mm x 1.55mm package.
The extended temperature range supports wireless infrastructure,
telecommunication and networking end equipment requirements.
The device is a member of the high-performance clock family from
IDT.

Principles of Operation
The IDT8CA3V76-0137 uses a fractional feedback-divider
synthesizer core with a Delta-Sigma modulator for noise shaping and
is very robust in its frequency synthesis capability. The output
frequency is synthesized from an internal 114.285MHz third overtone
crystal in order to minimize phase noise generation by frequency
multiplication. The higher frequency reference crystal also allows
more efficient “shaping” of noise by the Delta-Sigma modulator. The
device contains a 25-bit PLL feedback divider with a 2-bit
pre-scaler(P), a 7-bit integer portion (MINT), a 18-bit fractional
portion (MFRAC) and a 7-bit output divider (N) for high-resolution
frequency generation. The resolution (frequency increment for one
MFRAC increment) is equal to 114.285MHz ÷ (2
18
· N) or
435.9Hz ÷ N (N = 2 to 126).
This device is a digital VCXO. In a traditional, “analog” VCXO,
variation of the output frequency is achieved by “pulling” the resonant
frequency of the crystal. A digital VCXO operates with a fixed crystal
frequency. Variation of the output frequency is achieved by modifying
the fractional portion (MFRAC) of the PLL feedback loop divider. A
fixed-frequency crystal features a comparatively higher Q factor than
a pullable crystal, which enables better phase-noise performance.
The operating frequency and pull range of the 8CA3V76-0137 are
factory-programmed by IDT to a center frequency of 155.52 MHz and
a pull range of +/- 237 MHz. The data given in this datasheet are valid
for this particular programming only.
More devices with different programming are available on request.
