3.3V Voltage-Controlled Oscillator Targets Communications Apps

The company's family of high-performance, surface-mount, voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs) has added a new member in the Model 348, a 3.3V VCXO based on its older 5V device, the Model 048. The new device is available in frequencies from 77.76 MHz to 155.52 MHz with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Output can be specified as ECL or PECL. The device also features a compact, industry-standard 9 mm x 14 mm, 6-pin, J-leaded ceramic package.
The new addition to the product family has been designed specifically for a wide variety of communications related applications, including Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, STM-1, STS-3c, SONET and OC-3c. Samples can be ordered for evaluation. At only 3.3V, the devices meets user needs for decreased power consumption in a compact design.
