VCXO at 155.52MHz for telecommunications applications from CTS

CTS Corporation has released an enhanced performance Model 335, high frequency fundamental crystal, surface mount voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) at 155.52 MHz. This oscillator is targeted for datacom, telecom and network applications.

This new VCXO is housed in an industry standard 7mm x 5mm hermetically sealed ceramic package, with complementary LVPECL outputs, offers frequency stability (±20 ppm typical) and low jitter performance (0.5 ps RMS maximum, 12 kHz - 20 MHz) over the operating temperature range -40°C to +85°C. Ideal for use in PLL circuits for clock smoothing and frequency translation; typical applications include Fiber Channel, SONET, Synchronous Ethernet, LAN/WAN and test and measurement systems.

Additional features include: Absolute Pull Range of ±50 ppm for 15 years inclusive of all conditions, 3.3V operation, rise and fall times less than 550 ps and provides linearity better than ±10% over the voltage control range 0.0V to 3.3V. The Model 335 platform is RoHS compliant (6/6) and shipped in standard tape and reel packaging.
