FCXO Line Expanded for Complex Timing
August 15, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
HUDSON, N.H. Vectron International broadened its frequency translator frequency controlled crystal oscillator (FCXO) family with the C3430, suited to wireline and wireless infrastructure, test-and-measurement, and military applications. The components convert one input frequency to up to four independent output frequencies.
The C3430 FCXOs comprise an integrated crystal-based phase locked loop (PLL) circuit, and is said to simplify clock distribution. Output frequencies range from 10 to 700 MHz. Jitter is below 0.20 ps RMS in 1220 kHz and below 0.70 ps RMS across 10100 kHz. It operates in -40° to +85°C.
The product family is intended as modular solutions to complex timing challenges. It offers plug-and-play functionality to potentially reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and R&D time cycles. Phase-noise performance is complemented by a 13- × 20-mm FR4 surface mount package that reportedly offers a favorable cost-to-performance ratio. Uses include GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA base station assemblies, as well as in point-to-point radio, and other high-reliability PCB assemblies (PCBAs).
