Description
Vectron’s VCC6 Crystal Oscillator (XO) is quartz
stabilized square wave generator with a LV-PECL
output, operating off a 3.3 volt supply.
The VCC6 uses 3
rd
overtone crystals for
frequencies under 200MHz, resulting in low jitter
performance, typically 0.3pS rms in the 12 kHz to
20MHz band.

1. A 0.01uF and a 0.1uF capacitor should be located as close to the supply as possible and terminated to ground.
2. Figure 1 defines these parameters. Figure 2 illustrates the operating conditions under which these parameters are tested and specified.
3. Symmetry is measured defined as On Time/Period.
4. Includes calibration tolerance, operating temperature, supply voltage variations, aging (40 degreesC/10 years) and shock and vibration (not under
operation).
5. Measurements made on a VCC6-QAB-155M520 using an Agilent E5052A for phase noise and LeCroy 8600, 25K samples for jitter.
6. Output will be enabled if Enable/Disable is left open. The pull resistor changes to a higher value, operating in a “power saving mode” when
Enable/Disable is set to a logic 0.

VCC6-Q/R Series, 2.5 and 3.3v PECL Crystal Oscillator
Terminating PECL Outputs
The VCC6 incorporates a standard PECL output scheme, which are un-terminated emitters as shown in
Figure 5. There are numerous application notes on terminating and interfacing PECL logic and the two most
common methods are a single resistor to ground, Figure 6, and a pull-up/pull-down scheme as shown in
Figure 7. An AC coupling capacitor is optional, depending on the application and the input logic
requirements of the next stage.
One of the most important considerations is terminating the Output and Complementary Outputs equally.
An unused output should not be left un-terminated, and if it one of the two outputs is left open it will result in
excessive jitter on both. PC board layout must take this and 50 ohm impedance matching into account.
Load matching and power supply noise are the main contributors to jitter related problems.

Resistor value are typically:
120 to 240ohms for 3.3V
82 to 120 ohms for 2.5V
Figure 7. Pull-up Pull-down Termination
Resistor values are typically:
130 and 82 ohms for 3.3V
240 and 62 ohms for 2.5V

VCC6-Q/R Series, 2.5 and 3.3v PECL Crystal Oscillator
Enable/Disable Functional Description
Under normal operation the Enable/Disable is left open, or set to a logic high state, and the VCC6 is in
oscillation mode and outputs are enabled (active). When the E/D is set to a logic low, the oscillator stops
and the both the output and complementary outputs are in a high impedance state. This helps facilitate
board testing and troubleshooting.
Power Saving Pull-Up Resistor
The E/D pull-up resistor changes in response to the input logic level; the pull-up resistor is a large value
when E/D is set to a logic low, which reduces the current consumed. When E/D is open, or set to a logic
high, the pull-up resistance becomes a smaller value which helps decrease the effects of external noise.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can permanently damage the device. Functional
operation is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of conditions represented in the
operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may
adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
Although ESD protection circuitry has been designed into the the VCC6, proper precautions should be taken
when handling and mounting. VI employs a Human Body Model and a Charged-Device Model (CDM) for
ESD susceptibility testing and design protection evaluation. ESD thresholds are dependent on the circuit
parameters used to define the model. Although no industry wide standard has been adopted for the CDM, a
standard HBM of resistance = 1.5kohms and capacitance = 100pF is widely used and therefore can be
used for comparison purposes.
