Applications
Differential clocks are selected not only by frequency, but by interface standard, jitter/phase-noise budget, and layout/termination constraints. FCO-5L-PG targets platforms that need low RMS jitter and wide frequency coverage in a compact 5.0×3.2mm footprint.
Optical Modules & High-Speed Links
Optical module reference clocks often sit close to sensitive SERDES blocks. Low RMS jitter helps preserve eye margin and BER when the clock is multiplied or distributed across high-speed domains.

- Platform clocking: Small Data Centers Clocking Guide: Differential Oscillator Matching
Networking, Storage & Data Centers
In servers, switches and storage, differential clocks must match receiver standards (LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL), termination rules and EMI constraints. Use LVDS where 100Ω differential termination is required and LVPECL when the platform expects PECL swings.

FAQ
What is the frequency range of FCO-5L-PG?
FCO-5L-PG covers 10MHz to 1500MHz depending on configuration. Standard frequencies are available and custom frequencies can be supported on request.
How do I choose between LVDS and LVPECL?
Choose based on your receiver interface and termination rules. LVDS is typically terminated with 100Ω across OUT/OUTN at the receiver. LVPECL is commonly terminated with 50Ω to (VDD − 2V). Always verify the receiving IC reference design before release.
What RMS jitter performance should I expect?
RMS phase jitter is specified over 12kHz–20MHz. Typical jitter is 0.6ps, and the maximum limit is 1.2ps.
What decoupling is recommended for best jitter and phase noise?
Place a 0.1µF bypass capacitor as close as possible between VDD and GND pads, keep the return path short, and route the differential outputs as a tightly coupled pair with controlled impedance.
Do you provide samples, MOQ and lead time?
Yes. Samples and volume supply are supported. MOQ and lead time depend on frequency, output logic, stability/temperature option and test requirements. Share your target frequency, output, VDD and temperature range for a fast RFQ.
Can you support customization (frequency, screening, test reports, packaging)?
Yes. Custom frequencies within 10–1500MHz, screening options and test reports can be provided depending on project needs. Please include your jitter mask, integration bandwidth, and platform interface details.
