Low-cost miniature oscillators

14 October 2009 Electronics Technology

Euroquartz has introduced a new range of low-cost, 3,2 x 2,5 mm surface mount HCMOS XpressO oscillators that are available on a three week leadtime for production quantities.

With a wide frequency range from 0,75 to 250 MHz and industry standard footprint and pin-out, the new Fox Electronics FXO-HC32 series 3,3 V XpressO oscillators are suitable for a variety of applications that require low phase jitter (typically less than 1 ps) in a compact package. These include microprocessor, DSP, FPGA, SONET and Ethernet environments, as well as industrial controllers, test and measurement equipment and storage area networks.

The RoHS-compliant oscillators are available in ±50 and ±100 ppm stabilities with an operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C and feature a gold over nickel termination finish. Application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) incorporated into the oscillators enable accurate performance, decreased cost and increased flexibility. In addition, the XpressO oscillators offer noise levels comparable to bulk quartz and SAW oscillators by employing proprietary third-order DSM noise-reducing technology and a low-noise architecture. As with all XpressO oscillators, the new series features Fox’s exclusive internal serial ID for quality control and traceability of each individual part throughout the entire manufacturing process.
