Crystal oscillator from Vectron acheives RMS Jitter of 50fsec

Vectron International has released the LVPECL crystal oscillator (XO). Vectron claims the new VC-708 is the market's only LVPECL crystal oscillator currently available in a 5x7mm footprint achieving 50fsec of RMS jitter over an integrated bandwidth.

"Our new VC-708 allows designers to improve the purity of their clock signal, helping them to compensate for increased noise coming from system and environmental factors that can degrade jitter budgets and impact the performance of their integrated circuits," said Alan Mond, vice president and general manager, communication business unit, Vectron. "In addition, time to market is of paramount importance to our customers and we have the ability to support samples and pre-production runs in less than a week."

Key Features:
Phase Noise floor of -163dBc/Hz & 10MHz offset
Typical Jitter performance of 50fsec RMS jitter over the offset BW of 12kHz to 20MHz
Available output frequencies of 125MHz, 156.25MHz, 160.00MHz, 161.1328MHz, 200MHz & 250MHz
Supporting stabilities down to 25ppm from -40° to 85°C, inclusive of 15 years aging
3.3V Supply Voltage
LVPECL & LVDS Output Configurations
Compliant to EC RoHS6 Directive


Package: 5.0mm x 7.0mm x 1.8mm
