Description
The FX-424 is a precision quartz-based frequency
translator used to translate an input frequency such
as 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 19.44 MHz etc.
to any specific frequency from 1.544 MHz to 850
MHz. The FX-424 can perform either up or down
frequency conversion. The FX-424’s superior jitter
performance is achieved through the use of a
precision VCXO or VCSO. With the use of an
external multiplexer, up to 4 different input clocks
can be translated to a common output frequency.

Parameters are tested with production test circuit below (Fig 2).
Parameters are tested at ambient temperature with test limits guard-banded for specified operating temperature.
Measured from 20% to 80% of a full output swing (Fig 3).
Not tested in production, guaranteed by design, verified at qualification.
The FX-424 phase noise and jitter performance can be optimized for specific applications. Please consult with Vectron’s Application
Engineers for more information.

* For applications requiring two to four input frequencies, Vectron will assign a unique part number and the Input Frequency versus SEL[1:0]
settings will be provided in a Specification Control Drawing. For single input configurations it is recommended that SEL0 and SEL1 are tied
to ground.

Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can permanently damage the device. Functional operation is
not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of conditions represented in the operational sections of this
data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may adversely affect device reliability.
Reliability
VI qualification includes aging at various extreme temperatures, shock and vibration, temperature cycling, and IR
reflow simulation. The FX-424 family is undergoing the following qualification tests:

Although ESD protection circuitry has been designed into the FX-424 proper precautions should be taken when
handling and mounting. VI employs a human body model (HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD

Temperature (DegC)
The FX-424 is being qualified to meet the JEDEC
standard for Pb-Free assembly. The temperatures
and time intervals listed are based on the Pb-Free
small body requirements. The temperatures refer to
the topside of the package, measured on the package
body surface. The FX-424 should not be subjected to
a wash process that will immerse it in solvents. NO
.CLEAN is the recommended procedure. The FX-424
has been designed for pick and place reflow
soldering. The FX-424 may be reflowed once and
should not be reflowed in the inverted position.
