AEC-Q100 qualification and the deployment envelope
The DSC8102CI5-PROGRAMMABLE: The total frequency stability of ±10 ppm across the full operating range means the clock edge jitter is bounded — important for a 10 GbE SerDes or a high-speed ADC sample clock where ppm drift translates directly into bit-error margin.
Programmable frequency range and LVPECL output — what the ratings mean for fit
The available frequency range is 10 MHz to 460 MHz, and the part is factory-programmable to any frequency within that band — the order code DSC8102CI5-PROGRAMMABLE ships pre-configured to the customer's requested frequency. The LVPECL output delivers a differential signal with typical 800 mV swing into a 50-Ω termination, which is the standard for driving clock inputs on FPGAs, SERDES transceivers, and high-speed converters that expect a positive-referenced emitter-coupled logic level. Total frequency stability of ±10 ppm includes the combined effects of initial accuracy, temperature drift, supply variation, and aging — this is the spec that matters for a system that cannot tolerate a re-centering calibration at power-up.
