Si550
3. Ordering Information
The Si550 supports a variety of options including frequency, temperature stability, tuning slope, output format, and
V
.
Specific device configurations are programmed into the Si550 at time of shipment. Configurations are
DD
specified using the Part Number Configuration chart shown below. Silicon Labs provides a web browser-based part
number configuration utility to simplify this process. Refer to www.silabs.com/VCXOPartNumber to access this tool
and for further ordering instructions. The Si550 VCXO series is supplied in an industry-standard, RoHS compliant,
lead-free, 6-pad, 5 x 7 mm package. Tape and reel packaging is an ordering option.

Frequency (e.g. 622M080 is 622.080 MHz)
Available frequency range is 10 to 945 MHz, 970 to 1134, and 1213 to
1417 MHz. The position of “M” shifts to denote higher or lower
frequencies. If the frequency of interest requires greater than 6 digit
resolution, a six digit code will be assigned for the specific frequency.

Notes:
1. For best jitter and phase noise performance, always choose the smallest Kv that meets
the application’s minimum APR requirements. Unlike SAW-based solutions which
require higher higher Kv values to account for their higher temperature dependence,
the Si55x series provides lower Kv options to minimize noise coupling and jitter in real-
world PLL designs. See AN255 and AN266 for more information.
2. APR is the ability of a VCXO to track a signal over the product lifetime. A VCXO with an
APR of ±25 ppm is able to lock to a clock with a ±25 ppm stability over 15 years over all
operating conditions.

Note:
CMOS available to 160 MHz.
3. Nominal Pull range (±) = 0.5 x VDD x tuning slope.
4. Nominal Absolute Pull Range (±APR) = Pull range – stability – lifetime aging
=0.5 x VDD x tuning slope – stability – 10 ppm
5. Minimum APR values noted above include worst case values for all parameters.
6. Combination not available.
Example Part Number: 550AF622M080DGR is a 5 x 7 mm VCXO in a 6 pad package. The nominal frequency is 622.080 MHz, with a 3.3 V supply,
LVPECL output, and Output Enable active high polarity. Temperature stability is specified as ±50 ppm and the tuning slope is 135 ppm/V. The part
is specified for a –40 to +85 C° ambient temperature range operation and is shipped in tape and reel format.
