New ASIC-Based Oscillators
New from Link Microtek is a family of surface-mount clock oscillators and VCXOs that not only offer high performance but are available with exceptionally short lead times
New from microwave and RF component specialist Link Microtek is a family of surface-mount clock oscillators and VCXOs that not only offer high performance but are available with exceptionally short lead times of typically 2 weeks or less Manufactured by MtronPTI, the M210x series clock oscillators and M310x series VCXOs utilise the company's 'QiK Chip' ASIC-based technology to deliver a wide frequency range of 150MHz to 1.4GHz and a low integrated jitter value of typically 0.3ps, which is comparable with more expensive SAW-technology alternatives

Microwave components on short lead times
Link Microtek has produced a new shortform brochure providing an overview of the wide range of Narda microwave components now available from stock in the UK and continental Europe.
In terms of thermal stability, the new devices outperform SAW equivalents: using a standard AT-cut crystal resonator, the QiK Chip products achieve stabilities of +/-20ppm over the industrial temperature range of -40 to +85degC, compared with typical values of +/-100ppm over the more limited range of -20 to +70degC for SAW-based oscillator designs.
Fully RoHS compliant, the M210x clock oscillators and M310x VCXOs are available in either 7 x 5mm leadless or 14 x 9mm J-lead ceramic packages andcan be specified with supply voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V and a choice of LVPECL, LVDS or CML compatible outputs.
The combination of high performance and short lead times is expected to make the new devices particularly attractive for applications such as high-speed Ethernet, microwave radios, advanced SONET systems, and high-precision test and measurement equipment.
