Oscillators provide low-cost OCXO performance
Triton combines Rakon's Pluto ASIC compensation technology with simplified oven control to create a hybrid product with near OCXO performance.
Self-calibrating oscillators set new standards
A new range of self-calibrating oven-controlled crystal oscillators can outperform traditional Rubidium oscillators in many aspects.
The CFPT-125 can be supplied on standard tape and reel for SMT manufacture.
It is designed to withstand a peak reflow soldering temperature of 260C for 10s, making it compatible with lead-free soldering processes.
The crystal resonator used within the TCVCXO is packaged in a separate, hermetically sealed, container.
This virtually eliminates contamination keeping ageing effects to a minimum.
This customer-driven design provides HCMOS output, operates from a 3.3V supply and draws typically 3mA - ideal for low-power applications.
The oscillator frequency is adjustable by means of an external control voltage enabling the frequency to be calibrated to nominal after assembly.
Standard frequencies 10, 12.8, 13.0, 14.4, 16.32,16.384, 19.44, 20.0, 26.0, 32.768 and 40.0MHz are available from stock with additional frequencies being developed making them well suited for fast prototyping - leading to potential savings in both design time and cost.
This precision clock source is suitable for a variety of next-generation communication and industrial applications including broadband wireless devices (such as Bluetooth), test and measurement equipment.
These applications can be extremely compact due to the CFPT-125 measuring just 7 x 5 x 2mm.
The industry-standard ceramic surface mount format makes the CFPT-125 interchangeable with standard (non-tristate) clock oscillators (SPXO) enabling one board layout to be used at various stability levels provided a control voltage is connected to pad 1.
C-Mac MicroTechnology's frequency control products are available through a dedicated sales network, backed up by over 200 distributors and representatives in 40 countries.
Prices range from $4 to $8, depending on quantity.
