FX-424
Low Jitter Frequency Translator
FX-424
Description
The FX-424 is a precision quartz-based frequency translator used to translate an input frequency such as 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048
MHz, 19.44 MHz etc. to any specific frequency from 1.544 MHz to 1.0 GHz. The FX-424 can perform either up or down frequency
conversion. The FX-424’s superior jitter performance is achieved through the use of a precision VCXO or VCSO. With the use of an
external multiplexer, up to 4 different input clocks can be translated to a common output frequency.

Parameters are tested with production test circuit below (Fig 2).
Parameters are tested at ambient temperature with test limits guard-banded for specified operating temperature.
Measured from 20% to 80% of a full output swing (Fig 3).
Not tested in production, guaranteed by design, verified at qualification.
The FX-424 phase noise and jitter performance can be optimized for specific applications. Please consult with Vectron’s Application Engineers
for more information.

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 circuitrry has been designed into the the FX-424, 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

The FX-424 is qualified to meet the JEDEC stan-
dard for Pb-Free assembly. The temperatures
and time intervals listed are based on the Pb-Free
small body requirements. The temperatures refer
to the topside of the package, measured on the
package body surface. The FX-427 should not
be subjected to a wash process that will immerse
it in solvents. NO CLEAN is the recommended
procedure. The FX-427 has been designed for pick
and place reflow soldering. The FX-427 may be
reflowed once and should not be reflowed in the
inverted position.

For applications requiring two to four input frequencies, Vectron will assign a unique part number and the Input Frequency versus SEL[1:0] settings will be pro-
vided in a Specification Control Drawing. For single input configurations it is recommended that SEL0 and SEL1 are tied to ground.
