Oscillators run faster and are more stable
Fox Electronics has extended the frequency range and stability options of its popular F4100 Series crystal oscillators to 170MHz with stabilities as tight as +50ppm (F4105) for all conditions.
The new F340 Series' extremely small footprint and exceptionally low power consumption make it ideal for portable battery-powered applications where size is critical, such as in the wireless, wireless LAN, and handheld markets.
Measuring only 3.2 x 2.5 x 1.2mm, the new 2.5 V HCMOS oscillators are available in frequency stabilities of +/-100, +/-50, +/-25 and +/-20ppm and a frequency range from 1.8 to 50.0MHz (1.8 to 32.0MHz at 10mA; 32.0 to 50.0MHz at 12mA).
Standard operating temperature for the series is -10 to +70C, with an extended temperature range of -40 to +85C available on most models.
Output symmetry is 45 to 55% at 50% Vdd over the frequency range.
The new F340 Series features a standby function for extended battery life, and comes standard in a 2000-piece tape and reel.
Pricing for a new low-power F340 oscillator with a stability of +/-25ppm and a frequency of 40MHz starts at $3.44 per unit in quantities of 2000.
Delivery is 8 weeks ARO.
