Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AX5DCF4-150.0000C are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Core Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Frequency: 150 MHz
• Output Type: LVDS
• Supply Voltage: 1.8V
• Function: Enable/Disable
• Frequency Stability: ±20ppm
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package Dimensions: 5.00mm x 3.20mm
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1

Acceptable Variations:

• Package configuration: 6-SMD, No Lead (vs. 8-SMD, No Lead) — both are surface mount, no-lead packages with identical footprint dimensions
• Current consumption: Substitute parts (23mA max) are lower than the original (80mA max), representing improved efficiency without functional impact
• Maximum height: Substitute parts (1.28mm) are lower than the original (1.50mm), providing better board clearance

The substitute parts 510JCA150M000BAG and 511JCA150M000BAG from Skyworks Solutions Inc. meet all critical electrical and mechanical requirements while offering active product status and improved power efficiency.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 510JCA150M000BAG and 511JCA150M000BAG are direct functional equivalents to the AX5DCF4-150.0000C. Selection between these substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Product Availability and Supply Chain: Both substitute parts carry Active product status with substantial inventory (1087 Pcs and 1092 Pcs respectively), ensuring long-term availability compared to the discontinued original part.

Compliance and Certifications: All three parts maintain identical compliance profiles: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and EAR99 ECCN classification. No additional qualification is required from a regulatory standpoint.

Performance Characteristics: The substitute parts deliver superior power efficiency with current consumption reduced to 23mA (vs. 80mA), while maintaining identical electrical specifications. The lower maximum height (1.28mm vs. 1.50mm) provides additional board layout flexibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package footprint dimensions are identical (5.00mm x 3.20mm). The transition from 8-SMD to 6-SMD configuration does not affect PCB layout, as both are surface mount, no-lead packages with the same external dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 510JCA150M000BAG and 511JCA150M000BAG interchangeable with the AX5DCF4-150.0000C?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet all critical electrical parameters (150 MHz, LVDS output, 1.8V supply, Enable/Disable function, ±20ppm stability, -40°C ~ 85°C operating range) and mechanical requirements (5.00mm x 3.20mm footprint, surface mount, MSL 1). The package configuration change from 8-SMD to 6-SMD does not affect PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the Si510 (510JCA150M000BAG) and Si511 (511JCA150M000BAG) series?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for this application. The primary distinction is the series designation (Si510 vs. Si511). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Selection may be based on supplier availability or internal design documentation preferences.

Q: Will the lower current consumption of the substitute parts affect circuit operation?

A: No. The substitute parts consume 23mA maximum (vs. 80mA for the original), representing improved efficiency. This reduction does not impact oscillator performance or output characteristics. Circuits designed for the original part will operate identically with the substitutes.

Q: Are there any height clearance considerations when switching to the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts are 0.22mm lower (1.28mm vs. 1.50mm maximum height), providing additional board clearance. This is a beneficial change with no negative impact on component placement or assembly.

Q: Do the substitute parts require any design changes or re-qualification?

A: No design changes are required. Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH, MSL 1) and electrical specifications eliminate the need for re-qualification. Direct PCB substitution is supported.
