DATA SHEET
General Description
Features
The IDT8N4QV01 is a Quad-Frequency Programmable VCXO with
very flexible frequency and pull-range programming capabilities.
The device uses IDT’s fourth generation FemtoClock® NG
technology for an optimum of high clock frequency and low phase
noise performance. The device accepts 2.5V or 3.3V supply and is
packaged in a small, lead-free (RoHS 6) 10-lead ceramic 5mm x
7mm x 1.55mm package.
•
•
Fourth generation FemtoClock® NG technology
•
Four power-up default frequencies (see part number order
codes), re-programmable by I2C
•
I2C programming interface for the output clock frequency, APR
and internal PLL control registers
Besides the 4 default power-up frequencies set by the FSEL0 and
FSEL1 pins, the IDT8N4QV01 can be programmed via the I2C
interface to any output clock frequency between 15.476MHz to
866.67MHz and from 975MHz to 1,300MHz to a very high degree of
precision with a frequency step size of 435.9Hz ÷N (N is the PLL
output divider). Since the FSEL0 and FSEL1 pins are mapped to 4
independent PLL, P, M and N divider registers (P, MINT, MFRAC
and N), reprogramming those registers to other frequencies under
control of FSEL0 and FSEL1 is supported. The extended
temperature range supports wireless infrastructure, telecommunication and networking end equipment requirements.

QUAD-FREQUENCY PROGRAMMABLE-VCXO
Principles of Operation
The block diagram consists of the internal 3rd overtone crystal and
oscillator which provide the reference clock fXTAL of either
114.285MHz or 100MHz. The PLL includes the FemtoClock NG VCO
along with the Pre-divider (P), the feedback divider (M) and the post
divider (N). The P, M, and N dividers determine the output frequency
based on the fXTAL reference and must be configured correctly for
proper operation. The feedback divider is fractional supporting a
huge number of output frequencies. The configuration of the
feedback divider to integer-only values results in an improved output
phase noise characteristics at the expense of the range of output
frequencies. In addition, internal registers are used to hold up to four
different factory pre-set P, M, and N configuration settings. These
default pre-sets are stored in the I2C registers at power-up. Each
configuration is selected via the the FSEL[1:0] pins and can be read
back using the SCLK and SDATA pins.
As identified previously, the configurations of P, M (MINT & MFRAC)
and N divider settings are stored the I2C register, and the
configuration loaded at power-up is determined by the FSEL[1:0]
pins.
Table 4 Frequency Selection
Input
The user may choose to operate the device at an output frequency
different than that set by the factory. After power-up, the user may
write new P, N and M settings into one or more of the four
configuration registers and then use the FSEL[1:0] pins to select the
newly programmed configuration. Note that the I2C registers are
volatile and a power supply cycle will reload the pre-set factory
default conditions.

Frequency Configuration
An order code is assigned to each frequency configuration
programmed by the factory (default frequencies). For more
information on the available default frequencies and order codes,
please see the Ordering Information Section in this document. For
available order codes, see the FemtoClock NG Ceramic-Package
XO and VCXO Ordering Product Information document.
If the user does choose to write a different P, M, and N configuration,
it is recommended to write to a configuration which is not currently
selected by FSEL[1:0] and then change to that configuration after the
I2C transaction has completed. Changing the FSEL[1:0] controls
results in an immediate change of the output frequency to the
selected register values. The P, M, and N frequency configurations
support an output frequency range 15.476MHz to 866.67MHz and
975MHz to 1,300MHz.
For more information and guidelines on programming of the device
for custom frequency configurations, the register description, the
pull-range programming and the serial interface description, see the
FemtoClock NG Ceramic 5x7 Module Programming Guide.
The devices use the fractional feedback divider with a delta-sigma
modulator for noise shaping and robust frequency synthesis
capability. The relatively high reference frequency minimizes phase
noise generated by frequency multiplication and allows more efficient
shaping of noise by the delta-sigma modulator.
The output frequency is determined by the 2-bit pre-divider (P), the
feedback divider (M) and the 7-bit post divider (N). The feedback
divider (M) consists of both a 7-bit integer portion (MINT) and an
18-bit fractional portion (MFRAC) and provides the means for
high-resolution frequency generation. The output frequency fOUT is
calculated by:
1
MFRAC + 0.5
f OUT = f XTAL  ------------  MINT + ----------------------------------- (1)

PN

The four configuration registers for the P, M (MINT & MFRAC) and N
dividers which are named Pn, MINTn, MFRACn and Nn with n = 0 to
3. “n” denominates one of the four possible configurations.

NOTE: Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when the device
is mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. The device will meet specifications after thermal
equilibrium has been reached under these conditions.
NOTE 1: VC = 0V to VDD.
NOTE 2: Nominal oscillator gain: Pull range from Table 3C divided by the control voltage tuning range of 3.3V. 
E.g. for ADC_GAIN[6:0] = 00.0001 the pull range is ±12.5ppm, resulting in an oscillator gain of 2 * 12.5ppm ÷ 3.3V = 7.57ppm/V.
NOTE 3: For best phase noise performance, use the lowest KV that meets the requirements of the application.
NOTE 4: BSL = Best Straight Line Fit: Variation of the output frequency vs. control voltage VC, in percent. VC ranges from 10% to 90% VDD.
NOTE 5: Incremental slope is defined as the linearity in percent of the raw data (not relative to BSL) from 10% to 90% VDD.

Recommendations for Unused Input Pins
Inputs:
LVCMOS Select Pins
All control pins have internal pulldowns; additional resistance is not
required but can be added for additional protection. A 1k resistor
can be used.
LVDS Driver Termination
For a general LVDS interface, the recommended value for the
termination impedance (ZT) is between 90 and 132. The actual
value should be selected to match the differential impedance (Z0) of
your transmission line. A typical point-to-point LVDS design uses a
100 parallel resistor at the receiver and a 100 differential
transmission-line environment. In order to avoid any
transmission-line reflection issues, the components should be
surface mounted and must be placed as close to the receiver as
possible. IDT offers a full line of LVDS compliant devices with two
types of output structures: current source and voltage source. The
standard termination schematic as shown in Figure 1A can be used
with either type of output structure. Figure 1B, which can also be
used with both output types, is an optional termination with center tap
capacitance to help filter common mode noise. The capacitor value
should be approximately 50pF. If using a non-standard termination, it
is recommended to contact IDT and confirm if the output structure is
current source or voltage source type. In addition, since these
outputs are LVDS compatible, the input receiver’s amplitude and
common-mode input range should be verified for compatibility with
the output.

Power Considerations
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the IDT8N4QV01. 
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1.
Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the IDT8N4QV01 is the sum of the core power plus the power dissipated in the load(s). The following is the
power dissipation for VDD = 3.3V + 5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results.
•
Power (core)MAX = VDD_MAX * IDD_MAX = 3.465V * 160mA = 554.4mW
2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad directly affects the reliability of the device. The
maximum recommended junction temperature is 125°C. Limiting the internal transistor junction temperature, Tj, to 125°C ensures that the bond
wire and bond pad temperature remains below 125°C.
The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj = JA * Pd_total + TA
Tj = Junction Temperature
JA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)
TA = Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance JA must be used. Assuming no air flow and
a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 49.4°C/W per Table 7 below.
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 85°C with all outputs switching is:
85°C + 0.554W * 49.4°C/W = 112.4°C. This is below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow and the type of
board (multi-layer).
