FX-102 Frequency Translator
Q: What are the different input frequencies that are available?
A: The FX-100 series is able to handle any input frequency between 8 kHz and 170 MHz.
Q: How many different input frequencies can a specific FX-102 accept?
Q: If there is only one input pin, how can your unit accept 4 different frequencies?
A: The user is required to supply a multiplexer which would switch between the different input
Q: Can a single FX-102 handle an application for 4 input frequencies of 8 kHz, 19.44, 77.76 and 155.52 MHz
A: Yes; since the FX-102 AC couples the input signal, this combination can be supported.
Q: What is the lock time for the FX-102?
A: The exact lock time will depend on the specific input frequency. It should be noted that in all cases
Q: I asked for a FX-102-DFC-A2S6 with 19.44 and 155.52 MHz for the input frequencies and was given a
A: Whenever there are multiple input frequencies, we need to assign a SCD for the unit so that we can
A: Yes;The FX-102 package is a drop in replacement for the FX-104 package. The only difference is in
Q: What type of noise on the supply line can the FX-102 suppress?
A: Each FX-102 can be programmed to accept up to 4 different frequencies.
Q: What are the exact jitter transfer specs that the FX-102 series meets?
A: The FX-102 meets the stringent jitter transfer specs in GR-253 for Category II jitter (Section 5.6.2.1.2)
Q: My circuit card is already laid out for the FX-104, Is the FX-102 footprint compatible?
A: The FX-102 is designed to clean up noise on the Input Clock Signal, it is not designed to clean up

performance. Additional external filtering may be required. Please consult with your power supply
vendor on the best way to filter noise on your supply line.
