Crystal Oscillators: VCTCXOs and TCXOs

Source: Networks International Corporation

NIC’s line of crystal oscillators provide high performance in both environmentally benign and rugged conditions. This page includes information on their VCTCXO and TCXO product offerings.

TCXOs and VCTCXOs reduce frequency variation over temperature through a thermistor network designed to generate a correction voltage. This voltage is then applied to a varactor diode in the crystal circuit so that the crystal frequency is only varied by a small amount. These types of oscillators are ideal for low power applications where warm-up periods aren’t acceptable.

VCTCXOs:

  • 10 MHz to 40 MHz frequency range operation
  • High Stability
  • Phase Noise measurements available
  • Ideal for military, space, and commercial applications
  • Custom designs available

TCXOs:

  • 10 MHz to 100 MHz frequency range operation
  • High Stability
  • Phase Noise measurements available
  • Ideal for military, space, and commercial applications
  • Custom designs available
