Surface Mount Oscillator Requires Less Current

A new surface mount clock oscillator has been designed with very low supply voltage and current requirements in a ceramic package measuring 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm x 1.0 mm. The COM1 oscillator is suitable for design applications requiring miniaturization and long battery life such as WLAN, WiMax, UWB, DBS, digital cameras, notebook PCs, HDD, PDA, cell phones or any other similar usage. Standard supply voltage is 1.8 Vdc. Typical supply currents are as low as 5.0 mA max for lower frequencies at 1.8 Vdc. Frequencies for the COM1 range from 1.544 to 60.000 MHz with stability specifications of ±25 ppm, ±50 ppm or ±100 ppm. Operating temperature range is –10°C to +70°C. Delivery is currently around six weeks with samples available sooner. Standard packaging is on tape and reel. Pricing starts at $0.90 each/10,000. RALTRON ELECTRONICS CORP., Miami, FL. (305) 593-6033
