About this manual

This reference manual provides a curated list of Crystals (XTALs), Crystal Oscillators (XOs), Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXOs), and Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXOs) that have been tested and qualified for use with Skyworks high-performance jitter attenuators and clock generators. The information is based on tested samples, and customers are advised to monitor specification compliance and quality over time while verifying that selected components match their specific application requirements.

The document details recommended components for various Skyworks device families, including Si534x/7x/83/84/88/89/9x devices. It includes specific part numbers, frequency ranges, and specifications for crystals and oscillators from suppliers such as Conner Winfield, Hosonic, Kyocera, NDK, Taitien, TXC, and Siward. Additionally, it outlines selection criteria and notes specific requirements for certain device grades, such as the need for a 48 MHz reference for Si539x P Grade devices.

Frequently asked questions

What is the recommended reference frequency for Si539x P Grade devices?

Only a 48 MHz reference can be used for Si539x P Grade devices.

What are the benefits of using an XO instead of an XTAL?

Using an XO delivers better accuracy in holdover, lower phase noise for offsets less than 5 kHz, greater immunity to vibration and airflow effects, and better temperature stability.
