Euroquartz Launches New Oscillators Offering Wide Operating Temperature Range

Frequency control specialist, Euroquartz has launched a new range of oscillators that offer wide operating temperature range, femtosecond integrated phase jitter and superior phase noise performance.

The new XON91 and XON53 oscillators offer frequencies from 1.25 to 60MHz and are capable of withstanding temperatures from -55 to +125°C. Phase jitter is typically 500fs from 12kHz to 20MHz integrated. XON91 series oscillators are available in 7 x 5 x 1.8mm surface mount packages while XON53 devices are in 5 x 3.2 x 1.2mm miniature housings. Both feature a standard 4-pad layout.

Ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including military COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) projects and industrial control systems, these new oscillators offer stability of ±100 or ±50ppm over the specified operating temperature range and also offer excellent phase noise performance (from -85dB/Hz typical at 10Hz to -155dB/Hz at 10MHz). Versions of both ranges are available for operation from 1.8, 2.5, 3.3 and 5V supplies with current consumption as low as 7mA depending on frequency. Additional specifications include rise times of 7ns or 10ns maximum depending on supply voltage, 15pF load, start up time of 5 or 10ms depending on frequency and ageing of ±2ppm maximum for first year. Solder profile is 260°C maximum.
