TCXO replaces oven controlled crystal oscillators
Launching at Embedded World 2014 in Nuremburg, Germany, February 25-27, the IQXT-200 series is designed specifically to replace an Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO). This Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) is a practical alternative to OCXOs in portable instrumentation equipment and communications systems (fixed and mobile) requiring a high stability oscillator, without the physical space for or power to drive it.
The latest analogue compensated TCXO from IQD Frequency Products, the IQXT-200 series, features a class leading frequency stability down to ±0.28ppm across a frequency range of 10-50MHz. Operating over a standard industrial temperature range from -40 to +85°C, the TCXO features very low power consumption of less than 5mA (typical). Users can select variants to operate from a 3.0, 3.3 or 5.0V power supply. A variety of outputs can be specified including HCMOS or Clipped Sine Wave.
Housed in an industry standard 7x5mm ceramic package, the IQXT-200 series oscillators are also offered in versions which allow the use of an external voltage to control the pullability. This accommodates applications where the output frequency needs to be locked.
Supplied on tape and reel, the IQXT-200 series is RoHS compliant and reflow soldering compatible. Visit IQD at stand 650 in Hall 4 at Embedded World 2014 for more information.
