About this manual

The FX-104 is a SAW‑based frequency translator that converts input frequencies ranging from 8 kHz to 170 MHz into output frequencies between 170 MHz and 777.6 MHz. It supports up to four different input frequencies per device and offers jitter generation and transfer performance compliant with GR‑253‑CORE specifications.

The data sheet lists electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, recommended reflow profiles, and handling precautions. It also includes a pin‑function table, typical application schematics, and ordering information for various voltage and frequency configurations.

Frequently asked questions

How many different input frequencies can a specific FX-104 accept?

Each FX-104 can be programmed to accept up to four different input frequencies.

What is the lock time for the FX-104?

The lock time is significantly less than one second for all supported input frequencies.

Is the FX-104 footprint compatible with the FX-102?

Yes; the FX-104 package is a drop‑in replacement for the FX‑102, with only the output enable/disable pin logic level differing.
