1.6x1.2mm Continuous Voltage® Clipped Sine Wave TCXO/VCTCXOs

Introduction

Abracon is pleased to continue its expansion of its successful Continuous Voltage® ATX series of temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO).

The latest version released is our smallest TCXO in a 1.6 x 1.2mm package and offers a variety of stability options and temperature ranges, and the continuous voltage supply allows it to be operated with 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V voltage supplies allowing it to be used in a multitude of applications.

The Abracon ATX & AVTX-14 temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) series are particularly suited for space-constrained and power-constrained devices with Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth services. These devices provide tight stability down to ±0.5ppm for applications that require a precision timing solution for functions such as telecommunications, navigation, and positioning.

Looking at the table below, the primary differences are frequency and TCXO vs VCTCXO. Engineers looking to simplify their design can use these oscillators as drop-in replacements for fixed voltage TCXOs and VCTCXOS, requiring minimal design work while eliminating bias-dependent frequency variation and bias-specific selection of clocking sources.

Benefits

• Can be used at different Voltage supplies
• Tight stabilities for greater accuracy
• Small size for space constrained applications
• Low Phase Noise
